This Willys Overland is super cool and super rare - from California to Wisconsin, to Woodward ave in the Motorcity to now Grand Rapids, Michigan. This 1951 Willys Jeep Overland Wagon is a rare bird in these parts. There’s thought to be maybe 2 around the rust belt and this is one of them. The vehicle is well preserved due to its long life in California. It’s also been well maintained and kept up most recently by a vintage store owner on the Mecca of classic cars, Woodward Ave, in Detroit, Michigan.This vehicle is a strong runner. Has a fresh 350 Chevy Engine installed in 2010. This thing will go forever! It is lined up with a rebuilt Chevy automatic transmission for an easy drive. 1970s International Scout Truck axles and new suspension in 2010. Axles received new u-joints, bearings, and seals. Brakes top to bottom, shoes, drums, cylinders, lines, master cylinder all done in 2017 ($2500). Around $15,000 in parts, not including labor in this one-of-a-kind Jeep!
