    The flat screen cars were all 6 volt, but can be converted. Let me get a measurement on mine, it is about 16ish. '57 back is the one I'm thinking of. Just checked, they are 18 1/8 center to center. Check Samba.com, you'd want a '53- '57 setup. The split window arms would look perfect, have round arms but they are spendy. The motor can be swapped for a 12 volt, from what I see never have done it.

  6. My oplnion,
    As ugly as the SWC type head lights...The stock Willys head lights and tail lights could be much brighter, but for looks, they can't be beat!

    that's just not right. Don't tell me... he's gonna get round to fixing it up one day so it's not for sale etc. Shame.

    I bet the floors are good as its been on its roof for some time, still a good parts car or with these new metal shapers anything can be saved. I would like to have it, I say its a 1940.

    wrong year, but damn it's only got 11,000 miles. I have never seen one that was not some sort of Drag car or race styled HOT ROD

    ^^^I think that one was Steve O'Neil's. I posted photos of it that he had sent me a few years ago on the 1933-1936 Willys picture thread. I remember coming across this car in 1994 before Steve acquired it when it was in Alabama. As I recall, 11,000 original miles or not, it has a later Jeep engine fitted. The ex Tom Hrudka 77 de luxe coupe has 10,xxx original miles on it and is no with Bob Panella - unfortunately the previous owner 'restored' it and changed the color scheme to cream with brown fenders which was completely unnecessary because that car had amazing original paint - grey with black fenders when I saw it around the same time....
