I have known this Willys for close to 20 years and know the last two owners and its the best original I have ever seen! Im sure it will be in the six figures.

yes the reserve Is 100K I think if a guys got money laying around It's worth It.

 

My god this car is so sweeettt Certainly would like to add it to our stable.

 

There are some Willys that should not be messed with - ever! This is one of them....

 

surprised in this day and age of nostalgia that this car only brought what it did last week

'37-'42 Willys coupes should not be chopped. Sure there are some that will argue the point .....

 

I don't think the auction crowd goes for the "time capsule" type of car. The SILVER DOLLAR pickup at the Barrett-Jackson didn't bring what many thought it should. They like the billet stuff.

I have know the owner of the beautiful grey '41 for many, many years, and I have crawled around and under the car several times. It is definitely a time capsule, and I took several occasions to verify the originality of several cars and parts I have had by how they compared to this great example. Hate to see it leave the area, but we all enjoyed it for the years it was here!

More, Great transportation museum. If you're in the Allentown Pa area check it out.

 

How do you know that? I'm friends with the owner and we had breakfast on Saturday he wouldn't even tell us the reserve, but he said it wasn't $100k. You must have been the guy who bid big $$ to find out what the reserve was and then retracted your bid, lame.

 

Great thread !!! Anybody know the size of the holes in the mesh grills they used to use ??? i'm thinking 3/4" ???

 

That is a 58 Ford gill.

 

Wow, that's messed up.

 

Thanks mate but i need to know the hole size as i'm about to make one.

 

The size of these holes are 7/8" diameter. That grille is from a '58 Ford grille insert. Vic

 

Thanks Vic, thats very helpful.

 

bettca i did!!

 

not lame at all man.I bid and entered the wrong amount therefore It's legal for me to cancel my bid.I tried rebidding and he has blocked me from bidding I got the money to back any bid I place.....................I didnt wait hours or days to retract my bid I saw my mistake and corrected It pronto.It's lame for you to set there and pre-assume anything about somebody you dont know. furthermore your buddys obviously a liar cause the reserve Is 100K.have a good day

 

Anybody know where i can pick up a 58 Ford grille ???

 

no man last time I checked E-bay was the best bet.they are pricey at times though I myself preffer the stock grills.

 

Some more pics from the Nats, mostly 66.

Final ones.

 

Awesome stuff! Made my day.

 

I'd try and hook up with some Ford owners website and ask around there. Few times I've seen them advertised, they were referred to as "Gasser Grille" - how funny! I think if you can locate one, it'd save you buku time. Beat the bushes, they're out there. Vic
