This Willys runs, drives, and stopsgreat.I think it would probably be able to make a longer trip. However, it is 54 years old, so no guarantees.
The engine is the overhead cam Tornado 230. It was rebuiltrecently.This engine is unique and gets lots of comments from gearheads. It has plenty of power and great torque.
The body is good condition, but there is some rust mainlyon the drivers side (see the photos). Floors are solid. The paint is fading and cracking in places. It has classicyear-of-manufacture Texas plates from 1962.
Edit: I added some photos of the floors from underneath. The driver's side has 4 or 5 1/4" holes and 2 that are about and inch. The bottom edge of the driver's side tool box is the worst part in the whole vehicle. This is old rust that was stabilized at one time, but this truck has been outside for the last 8 years and is showing some wear. Overall this is a solid truck, I tried to show all the worst parts in the photos.
Known problems: leaking timing chain cover, noisy transfer case, sloppy steering. The tires have plenty of tread, but are starting to crack.I am including the timing chain cover gasket and a rebuild kit for the steering box.
Spare parts: Pair of Cutlass hubs, one partial Warn hub, exhaust manifold, water pump (NOS),fuel/vacuum pump, oil pump, timing chain, steering box kit (sector shaft, bushings, bearings, gaskets, etc.),timing cover gasket, differential gaskets, valve cover gasket, chrome trim pieces, miscellaneous small parts. I also have an old Tornado 230engine block if you are interested.
