The turn of the century in the American Automotive industry was like the Big Bang Theory with manufacturers merging and splitting seemingly overnight. At the start of World War I, Willys-Overland was one of the leaders in the production of factory built, enclosed body work,the primary appeal of which was to women, it was described as “The Reigning Electrically Started and Lighted Coupe for Women.” Over-all sales hit the 80,000 mark.

This very well preserved example was found in a barn not too far from the shop. When I first saw it the one thing that immediately stood out to me was the incredibly original condition it was left in when placed in the barn some 40 years ago! I’m offering it to you just as I found it complete with all the dust and a box of mothballs! There are a few various parts in the back seat as well. The exterior paint appears to be in good condition under all that dust with a green and black color scheme that would be awesome left as is or could possibly be brought back to a shine. The interior is in remarkably complete condition with seats and panels present making for an easy restoration if you so choose. The dash also appears to be complete with gauges still intact and the steering wheel and controls have a firm solid feel as well. The engine is a work of art in and of its self with amazing engineering that defies modern technology! Underside pics reveal a very solid chassis that was the state of the art more than 100 years ago.( see all pics ) This Willys-Overland is being sold as a restoration project with no title due to age, it will have a bill of sale only and due to our filming schedule we are unable to perform any work on this car for you.
