I purchased this Willys a little over a year ago and restored it to my liking, intending to keep it forever as an around-the-town vehicle. I was using it as a daily driver with no problems whatsoever, and even took it on some longer trips (100+ miles) without incident. Now I have a four month old baby and the Willys isn't as practical as it seemed before! It makes me sad to see it sitting unused in the driveway so it's time to pass it on to someone who can enjoy it daily. Here is all the work that's been done since I purchased it: - new radiator, thermostat, hoses, belts - new distributor cap, rotor, points, condenser - new spark plug wires, plugs, coil, battery, battery cables - rebuilt carb - oil change, filter - new fuel tank, all new fuel lines & hoses, new fuel pump and fuel filter - new or rebuilt all wheel cylinders and master, new brake lines and soft hoses - axle seals (inner and outer, front and rear) replaced and packed wheel bearings, new swivel seals - greased all chassis lube points - rebuilt original Dualmatic locking hubs - new timing cover seal, front crankshaft seal, oil pan gasket, rocker cover gasket - new muffler and rear portion of exhaust - fresh tune-up including valve adjustment - 5 new NDT tires and tubes - new full top bow set and Sunbrella canvas half cab - 48" farm jack mounted to front bumper - original chaff guard included (hard to find) Good qualities: - starts easily, runs very well, shifts, steers, brakes etc. just as it should - tow bar included for easier transport - original black & yellow CA plates with current registration Work to be done: - speedometer broke and was taken out to send to rebuilder; can rebuild or buy new one from Walck's for $75 (maybe less on ebay) - slight weep from rear main seal; hasn't been enough to make me want to replace it - fuel level sender needs replacement; registers ok between 1/4 and empty so at least you know when you need gas - obviously needs body and paint if you want to win a show. Most people (including me) seem to get a bigger kick out of the patina that only 66 years of existence can produce - rust through on passenger floor and bottom of tool box, pitted driver's floor; otherwise just surface rust - entire truck was brush painted decades ago in the color seen; originally the truck was Pasture Green - new owner may want new front seat canvas ($110 from New Life Canvas) - windshield vent levers are not installed (they are included with the truck)
