Vehicle description

$23,000 or BEST OFFER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO PAY FOR THIS PROJECT. I BOUGHT A BASIC, UNRESTORED 1953 WILLYS WAGON IN 2001 AND BEGAN BUILDING IT FOR MYSELF IN 2003. I STOPPED WORKING ON IT IN 2013 AFTER THE DEATH OF A FAMILY MEMBER. THIS WAGON WAS COMPLETELY TAKEN APART, STRIPPED TO ORIGINAL BARE METAL AND REBUILT. THE CHASSIS WAS REPLACED, REAR METAL FLOOR DETENTION HAS NEW STEEL SO THE FLOOR IS THE SAME HEIGHT FROM FRONT TO BACK. THE CORRECT REAR TOP DOUBLE WINDOW WAS INSTALLED, POWER DOOR WINDOWS WERE ADDED, 1946 DASH GAUGES ARE REBUILT AND A 6000 RPM TACHOMETER WAS MADE TO MATCH THE LOOK OF THE 1946 GAUGES, COMPLETE EZ WIRING HARNESS THROUGHOUT INSTALLED, CUSTOMIZED DASH PANEL WITH AC DUCTS AND PORTS ADDED. I INSTALLED PUSHBUTTON DOOR RELEASES AND ADDED A CHROMED TILT STEERING COLUMN WITH A NEW GRANT BANJO STEERING WHEEL. THE INTERIOR WAS PAINTED WITH LIZARD SKIN: ROOF WITH THERMAL PROTECTION, SIDE PANELS, mFLOOR AND CHASSIS WITH SOUND DEADENER. ALL GARNISH RAILS WERE STRIPPED AND REPAINTED. I HAVE ALL ORIGINAL GLASS. ALL EXTERIOR TRIM WAS RECHROMED AND WAGON WAS PROFESSIONALLY STRIPPED, PREPPED AND PAINTED. 1992 VORTEC WAS REBUILT WITH A STRONGER MID/UPPER RANGE CAM, NEW 670 CFM AVENGER CARBURETOR, NEW HEI DISTRIBUTOR, EDELBROCK ALUMINUM INTAKE MANIFOLD AND ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP MOUNTED NEAR THE 20 GALLON GAS TANK, NEW LONG TUBE STAINLESS HEADERS PASS THROUGH A NEW PAIR OF SERIES 40 FLOWMASTERS AND NEW 2.5"-3” EXHAUST. 350 CHEVY TRANS REBUILT WITH NEW TRANSFER CASE COLLAR AND NEW LOKAR SHIFTER. FRONT DANA 44 TRANSFER CASE REBUILT. DANA 44 REAR END REBUILT WITH NEW 3.74 GEARS AND POSI, NEW BALANCED CUSTOM FRONT AND REAR DRIVESHAFTS. REBUILT FRONT DISC BRAKES AND LARGER REAR DRUM BRAKES AND SHOES ADDED. 33" TIRES ON CHROME WHEELS WITH BLACKED OUT CENTERS. WAGON HAS BACK UP LIGHTS, POWER STEERING. REBUILT HEAVY DUTY RADIATOR WITH NEW ELECTRIC PULL FAN. I HAVE CLEAR CALIFORNIA TITLE IN MY NAME. SOME PARTS NEED INSTALLING AND/OR HOOKING UP. THE FLOOR IS FILLED WITH MOST OF THE UNINSTALLED ITEMS.I HAVE A PAIR OF BUCKET FRONT SEATS NOT SHOWN. NO REAR SEAT. THE WAGON NEEDS A BATTERY, FINISH WIRING HOOKUPS, INSTALL TRIM, SEATS, OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES, GLASS AND INTERIOR PANELS, ALL EXCEPT BATTERY, INCLUDED. I"LL NEVER GET BACK THE $55K I PUT INTO THIS LABOR OF LOVE, BUT WHEN I SELL IT, SOMEONE WILL END UP WITH A GREAT 1853 WILLYS WAGON I NEVER EXPECTED TO SELL. PLEASE CALL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS AT 1-619-895-2228. THANKS, ANDY
