UPDATE:  This sold quickly.  Was listed at $7500.

Sam, from Flat Fender Willys, has done a large amount of work on this rig, including the installation of a rack and pinion that makes the steering very tight and responsive.  This also has a custom dash that tilts forward.   Sam would have painted this too, but the seller’s family wanted to keep it mis-matched because they liked the character.  If you are interested in a solid, daily driver, this is worth a look.
