Description

Getting your hands on a cool and equally interesting classic that's sure to be unlike anything you'll ever see at a monthly Cars & Coffee gathering! A unique collectable for gearheads who desire substance over performance, this 1947 Willys combines go anywhere spirit with all-American valor. Looking for a sentimental ride that'll fascinate and delight? Here's a robust roller for every General Purpose!

While its basic DNA is certainly appealing, first rate detailing is what makes this Jeep really pop. Originally a well-kept civilian CJ2A, the truck was lovingly rebuilt during a thorough, frame-up restoration that included traditional Olive Drab paint and patriotic callouts. Under that pigment, a straight fuselage features retro panels that fit well and look good. A cloth roof activates to reveal a decommissioned .50 caliber machine gun. Up front, a thick tow rope ensures mud doesn't turn into capture, and out back a vintage Pintle Hook capacitates a small trailer. Basic tools are present and accounted for, with a short shovel and body-matched ax leading a large Jerry Can. And cool details include a small mirror, a tied antenna and a USA Approved Blackout Head Lamp.

Hoist the hood and you'll find 134 cubic inches of proven Willys Hurricane that, in 2013, was professionally rebuilt by Army Jeep Parts Inc. of Levittown, Pennsylvania. Power flows through a freshened Borg-Warner T90 3-speed, which spins a Dana 18 transfer case that's linked to Dana 25 front axle and a Dana 41 rear axle. That drivetrain hangs in a rugged leaf spring suspension, which stretches old school manual steering between big drum brakes. And at the corners of the floor, study steel wheels twist reliable IH hubs inside 6.00-16LT McCreary Non Directional Tires.

When you're talking about trucks from the World War II era, you're essentially talking about combining the best elements of battle and utility. Between this Jeep's deleted doors, there's enough room for up to four troops on simple cloth seats. In front of those thrones, an Olive Drab dash hangs Kaiser Willys-branded telemetry between prop grenades, a decommissioned rifle and a vintage fire extinguisher. There's an antique radio that nicely complements the truck's big antenna. And the driver rules the road through a simple Olive Drab steering wheel that laps a small first aid kit.

Mixing unique character with all-American swagger, this Willys is one super cool classic! And when it comes to the driving experience, it's about as much fun as you can have on four wheels! Call, click or visit https://www.RKMotors.com for more information.
