Posted on September 18, 2019 by Rachel | 1 Comments

This Willys is a 1953 CJ-3B that required a frame up rebuild. I knew when I bought it three years ago that it was going to be a long project. The body was too far gone to bother with so I bought a new body kit from Kaiser Willys. The frame was not much better so I spent two weeks…

453: William Mahlmann’s 1959 Willys CJ-5 This CJ-5 sat for 28+ years untouched. The owner who was 8o+ gave it to me.

Four years later I’m almost done….

451: John Moore’s 1953 Willys Truck My Willys has the original F-134 engine, it’s never been rebuilt. It is still a 6 volt system and it has the vacuum windshield wipers. All of the gauges work.
