(05/30/2011) The body is fiberglass and the engine a 258.

“A real head turner! My jeep is a 53 willys body on a 78 cj7 frame. The body is all fiberglass, so no rust. There is an 1984 six cylinder 258 engine. Original engine (an older 258) was replaced with this 258 three years ago. Guy I bought it from said it was rebuilt 25000 miles ago. Has the carter 2bbl carb. Has a T150 transmission. Transmission was checked over last year. Shifts very good in forward gears. Does grind when you put it in reverse but only if you do it quickly. 4 Wheel drive works awesome. Has lockers on the front rims. The tires are 35″ BFGoodrich All Terrain wheels. The rims were painted in april of this year. Brand new custom made bumpers were installed in march of this year too. Jeep is a short wheel base car so if you turn sharply while going fast you are guaranteed to roll! That being said, this jeep has never been rolled. There is so much more that can be said about this jeep! The hood is the only odd thing on this jeep. The guy before me either hand made this or cut something up. Its all fiberglass, is a bifold, and is clamped down but the center flaps up and down while you are going at fast speeds. I have an original 53 cj2a hood that I will include only if the car sells for the asking price, other wise I can resell it.

In the 6 years Ive own this jeep I havent driven it more than 2000 miles and thats being generous. Has been garage kept. Previous owner owned it since it was put together. He was also a welding teacher so a lot of things are welded, like the roll bar to the windshield (which is metal). Only selling because Im moving to a house w/ a smaller garage and have to sell one of my toys.”
