Description
Lot #390 - This Willys wagon had a frame-off restoration. New Dana 44 rear end installed, with over 1,000 hours in the chassis alone. Everything was smoothed and powder-coated gloss black. A Chevy small-block V8 engine was installed, but the factory manual transmission and transfer case were retained. The attention was turned to the body, which was completely rust free. The body is laser-straight and solid steel. The outside, inside and bottom of the body were painted a dark metallic blue. A tasteful interior was installed with hand-cut wood strips inlaid in the floor and tailgate. A fun car to drive. From the John Staluppi Cars of Dreams Collection.
