*********************************************************************

In 1953 Mitsubishi secured the rights to build the Willys under their own name and the Mitsubishi Jeep was born. In the USA the Willys was built till 1965 but in Japan Mitsubishi had a good thing going so they kept the line in production till 1998. The beauty of the Willy’s body style coupled with the strong and reliable Japanese engineered drive train. There were three engine options, the Mitsubishi 4DR5 2.7L 4 cyl Diesel ,4DR6 Direct Injection Turbo Diesel, Mitsubishi 5G52 Astron 2.0L 4 cyl.Gas engine.

Unlike the original Willys versions the Mitsubishi versions were “modernized”
Effective heat and defrost
Larger boosted brakes
modern engines and transmissions
