I love driving it about, puts a lot of smiles on folks faces :) coastkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06722983165386248189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476849574944012036.post-58578894725275225162021-08-30T02:30:14.379+01:002021-08-30T02:30:14.379+01:00That Willys looks great!

Currently I drive a 2004 Wrangler which shares roots, but in all reality an old Willys has very little in common with a new Wrangler. Your photos of it are great as well. I really like the first picture of it in the field – the sunset behind it looks fantastic. You mentioned it having the original engine and a few parts. Is it mostly a restoration or is it a recreation? Either way, it looks fantastic. It is great to see a Willys is still rolling around under its own power. Around where I live, I’ve seen a few turned into art, but none driving.Dannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224412891928832221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476849574944012036.post-10899182581963659142021-08-29T23:21:09.875+01:002021-08-29T23:21:09.875+01:00That Willys looks great!
