I have no idea where this picture came from but I would like to buy this car. I am sent links and find stuff all over the internet and have no idea where this picture is from or who took it. Anybody have a clue? I want a real two door sedan if anybody knows of one.......thanks!

 

And it's for sale - not mine but on the net....

 

1939 Holden bodied Overland ute....

 

I agree.

 

Okay what's the story. Curiosity is killing me.

 

Hey Paul , the sad story is that the fella that built the car died in a house fire and so did the car . It's sitting at his buddy's plc now and it's pretty rough . The guy did some killer body work if you see it up close and the roof damage over the window is from it being lifted out of it's grave . The car is no good but most of the custom work could be removed and implanted to a decent doner car . I would love to bring it back to life ! And his buddy that is holding the car is real nice guy too and Id bet he would love to see the pile of custom work come back to life .

Rat Infested was killer too ! Love the stance on that baby ! That Coupe is what most people picture when you say "Mean Machine" !

 

I did not know Willys had so many body styles.

 

here's some more shots of Willys body styles that may or may not be new to you . The crew cab is obviously Phantom though.

 

So if Holden and TJR built these parts to go American cowls and pans , did they put them on other vehichles too ? Just wondering if other Aussie cars could be doners for a rotten Willys that may not have other wise had a chance ? I figuered this picture thread is a good spot to ask because maybe some comparison pics could be shared ?

 

Here's a Flood bodied 1940 Willys Tourer just popped up for sale in Oz....

 

Wow I really like that delivery.Did He get to the point of having the rear door hinged?

 

are you asking about the burned out one ? If so , it was a sweet little Hot Rod at one time in the BC Fraser Valley . I'll ask for pictures but that could take a while .

 

Pics of my 41 Willys that I drive daily, and a couple pics of my 40 Willys I'm building now.

 

sweeet !!!

 

Another 1939 Overland ute - sitting in a junkyard in the 1990s but was since rescued....

 

looked pretty complete ....nice start for a project !!!

 

Mullins-love your truck(s) !

 

Here's a couple of pics of my car from back in it's C/Gas days. These are from a previous owner, I think from around 70-72. The third one is right after I got it in '82.
The fourth is from 2001,it is still the same today. Hope to get some pics from the original builder soon.
