Not an owner but the little blond in this photo who is now 30 and not so blond anymore has been a fan since she saw her first one about the time the photo was taken. She still wants real steel and a 40/41 coupe thought. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
Movie "Hot Rod" got me hooked over 30 years ago. I think I watch the movie every couple of months !!!! Gone Berserk is all steel, 588 c.i.d. Hemi powered. Beyond Berserk is a glass 33, blown 355 c.i.d. Chevy.
I wish I knew how to scan pictures my dad has pics from Desoto speedway in central Fl theres a few old willys pics I remember one called Dixie Drifter man that car was so cool must have been late 70s early 80s , I am going to have to learn this scanning thing.
I got a '61 flat fender myself. But I'm afraid that when someone says Willys they don't consider ours Fiddy.
What about a 1924 Willys Overland touring, Soon to be a little modified. I am still looking for a set of doors for it. CBB

ya there pretty sick here is a picture of the one my buddy built for his boss its probably one of the nicest street rods around here http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...1124241515300_1504981706_290859_6270389_n.jpg
LOL... yeah I get all excited when I see "Willys" in the subject line... then as I click it I think... "crap... they mean the little ones..." haha... Well here's mine, consider me a wierdo. Oh and if someone put a gun to my head and said pick ONE make to own for the rest of your life... I would say Willys. They're outstanding, reliable, and economical cars in stock trim, and they make outstanding hotrods. I would love to have a gasser Aero HT!
The first engine I rebuilt was an F-head 161 cu. in. that was in my dad's '53 Aero Ace two-door. I was 15 and had hoped to get it when I turned 16. Mom said no, and we sold it. Held that against her until I was 20 and she loaned me the money to buy our neighbor's five-year-old '64 Barracuda. Still have a soft spot in my heart for the Willys Aero series.
I'm a big fan and ower. I sure couldn't go the cost of a 40 or 41 so I went for something different. I kinda like the unusual anyway. Found a 50 Jeepster body and frame and went from there. It's a 350 SBC with a five speed. I put many miles on mine and enjoy it, the chicks like it too.
I have a 32 pickup and a 41 coupe (gocart) and have owned a foward control unit with a carhauler bed on it.
love them ..i have 2 53 aeros to make 1 doing a altered wheel base car . http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=374403
My little 53 Willys Aero project. I like little 50s cars and this one was cheap plus it has a very good running flathead in it.
Folks, I have a 50 Jeepster w/no engine. The first mods were flatheads w/ ford rear ends. anybody done a flathead merc or cadillac?
had one way back in 1969,,1/4 mile car paid $350.00..with a hemi ..went in on it with 2 other guys ,, had a ball at the drags with it ..that was a nice car ..started to cost way too much money for a few guys still in hi-school ...so one of my friends dad bought it from us ..
