“This collectors 1944 / 4-wheel-drive Willys Overland Surrey Jeep underwent a frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration and is powered by a modern 2.0-liter high-performance OHC Ford 4-cylinder engine backed by a C4 automatic transmission with a shift kit and a Hurst floor shifter. It features a detailed frame and chassis and lots of chrome. This Willy is equipped with a military T18 transfer case with 2-wheel high range and 4-wheel low range, rebuilt front and rear ends with Warner hubs and 3.73 gears, chrome leaf springs with a 2” lift and a 2” body lift. The new all-steel body has not been taken off road or seen rain since it was built less than 500 miles ago.”
Absolutely beautiful work, but why not put this effort into a DJ or CJ? This is as wrong as it is impressive… SMH
This Jeep was a no sale at Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale in January, 2019 I took a couple of photos of it then. From a distance an unknowing eye could mistake it for a Surrey, but, IT AIN’T!
