Any Willys owners/fans?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by re-animator, Sep 6, 2009.

  1. Hello!

    I have a '53 Aero Falcon sedan. I'm getting started on the re-ainmation of it for next summer. Are there any other Willys fans or owners here?

    I'm a huge Willys fan but I've never owned one. I'm glad that some guys like the fibergl*** bodies enought to build 'em but I just can't bring myself to do it. Gonna hold out until I can find a steel body even if it means I never do.

    I love the '40 '41s, I had a chance to owen a '41 steel body a few years back, but the guy found out what he had and then got stupid on the price, he ended wanting $12,000 for a rough car just to much for me to pay I think he ended up parting it out.

    It would probably be easier to count the hot rodders who DON'T like the 39-41 Willys Coupes.

    Another car I'd like to own one of these days...
     
  16. Let a couple of them go... and I regret it to this day!

    I'll find another!

    Nearly everyone likes willys eventhough their on every corner today.Gl*** or steel they are as popular as a 32 5-window.I had a 41 coupe and a 42 p/u years ago and am now looking for a pick-up.
     
  21. Sweet rides, evrybody! Good to see a couple Aeros in there. Not many were made, I read somewhere there's only 750 left on the road...that seems a little low....

    My girlfriend wanted a Wagon, but we found this one right here in town. It's a four door so we can take friends cruizin". The more the merrier!

    I'll get some photos up.

    Thanks for the replies and good luck!

    I fibergl***ed the trays on the side, so they are water proof, it'll hold 6 cases of beer and ice.

  26. Wow, Willys built other cars than the 33-41 coupes?
    Always wanted an original WWII Willys built Jeep. Very cool.
