1925 Willys-Overland Model 90

Description

Stop for a moment to realize what you are looking at. This is a unique 1925 Willys-Overland 90 body with a performance-built V8, fully independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and a custom/comfy interior. So this is one of the most distinct and sharp customs around, and it's available right now for quite an obtainable price.

When you see a hot rod Willys, it's usually a replica and a version of the 1940s cars. So to have a real Willys-Overland 90 body built for performance is always going to charm enthusiasts wherever it goes. More than just a unique nameplate, this one is going to attract attention because of its quality construction. The tan and brown two-tone is a great period-correct color combo that has been nicely applied to interweave across the whole body. And the metallic tone in the brown is an instant reminder that this is something quite special. In fact, this classic and modern mix is seen throughout the body. Vintage elements like the tall upright design, windshield overhang, running board step plates, and rear wardrobe trunk are now combined with a hot rod style stance thanks to Halibrand-style wheels and big rear tires. It all creates a unique street machine with a memorable presence.

The interior utilizes classic colors and patterns but provides more modern comfort. The seating takes advantage of the sedan's large interior to reconfigure a spacious atmosphere for two rows. The pattern on the tan cloth seats is reminiscent of some of the broadcloth available in the 1920s, and it looks great as it coordinates with the door panels and carpeting. Plus, you get nice modern features like power windows and an AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input for the most modern music players. The driver gets to remain comfortable thanks to the front bucket seats, a tilt steering column, a Lecarra steering wheel, and a cool duck head floor shifter. Plus, the full modern VDO gauge package and large Summit column-mounted tach are a great reminder that there's something special on the other side of the windshield.

A motor this nice deserves to be on display for the world to see. This 327 cubic-inch V8 has plenty of high-polish pieces, like the air grabber, alternator, compressor, valve covers, and newer Billet accessory pulleys. And those smooth ram's horn exhaust manifolds look like they belong to a brass instrument. But more than just flash, this one also has the right substance. The V8 is upgraded with Brodix aluminum heads, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, MSD Blaster coil, MSD distributor, and topped with an Edelbrock AVS2 four-barrel carburetor. It's a powerful package that makes a nice tune out of the newer Flowmaster mufflers. And don't forget to check out the updated dual exhaust in the undercarriage photos. Not only will you spot a custom frame, but also the suspension is done right with four-wheel disc brakes, transverse leaf spring independent front end, and a Jaguar independent rear end with a dual set of adjustable coilovers. The Jag rear has inboard disc brakes, which is one of the most desirable setups for the four-wheel disc brakes.

This is the kind of thoughtful build you never expected, and now that you know about it, you'll never forget this Willys. Call today!!!
