"Beside the Barn" willys find

ooops

 

Here you go borntoloze. This is at the willys home run last year. I had a blast with it. It started out as just a cab that we dragged out of the woods here in maine.

 

That truck is way cool, I really dig the 60's stance. Great score on the new ride, please post more stuff as you get her back into shape.

This is a picture of what we started with on the truck. As you can see we like to save them. We will definetly keep everyone posted on the restoration of the mystery willys

 

things are already better---good job

ooops

 

Wow! nice find. Thanks for posting ther pics.

 

After seeing what you accomplished with that clapped out truck cab, I had to subscribe to this thread! Can't wait to see this one progress. Great Work!

 

I have one good working kidney that suddenly become available... wanna trade?

 

Borntoloze,
Yes our willys are all street licensed. We make a few runs around town before we have to go home and hide from the "blue lights". We don't run them on the track. One slap against the wall and things wouldn't be good.

 

ooops

 

Congrats on your new project.
Best of luck on the rebuild.

 

Can you post some pics of the front suspention...please thanks.

NICE SCORE!

 

Here you go.

 

Awesome. That was a cool car for sure! I can't wait to see the progress.

 

I couldnt imagine walking around the corner of the barn to see that sitting there....just about every Hot Rodder walking around with gas running through his viens is dying to score something that big--Congrats!!

where exactly was it found??

 

We found it in Jaffrey New Hampshire.

 

wow, wow....wow.

great find, and great folks to have found it.

thanks for posting

 

Wow, glad I finally found this post.... had to do my weekly "Willys" search.

Any idea what the car did from the mid 60's until 1988 (22 years ago)?
Luckily, it looks like it avoided the street rod fate of a lot of old race cars.

Good luck with it!

 

Shakey Puddin,
The gentleman that bought it from al didn't do anything with it that we know of. I think he had plans to race it but it never happened.

Jaffrey, NH?!?! I wonder how many hippies saw it and passed along the news of an old v.w. they found!!

I need to start looking around more...

 

Congrats ! ! ! The word "Resurection" comes to mind.

Best wishes with the "Resurection".

 

Very cool story and good info so far. But I have to ask, any updates ?

There aren't many updates. We haven't really had a chance to do much to it. It's a very cool car though. How are you doing grant??
