Got a new project today

[21willys]

My brother n law called me last night to tell me about a auction today. I had been going by this house for most of my life and never knew he had this collection. Wish I had more play money with me! Heres a few pics of the cars. I didn't take any of the parts and the motorcycles.

And the one I bought.

Not sure what direction were gonna go with the build yet. May just sale it.

Cool, always wanted me one of those Jeepsters!

That Hudson PU looks sweet too.....how much did it go for?

 

[21willys]

It's a stude... $8k very solid!

 

[YBeNormal]

Wow![dr great find. I wouldn't have minded that beetle.

 

[Snake Farm]

It's a stude... $8k very solid!

Oh yeah, I see the split grille now.

Your Jeepster looks nice and solid too.....nice score!

 

[Dr Crankenstein]

Agreed. Jeepster looks good, too.

39flatback's gonna be jealous!

 

[21willys]

The bug was rotted away! Sold for about $200!

The best deal of the day was a 61-4 galaxy convertable. It was in pieces but looked like it was mostly there. Sold for $500!

willys wagon sold for $1800.
Thunderchicken only brung $800!
stude bed trailer $400ish
stude car, parts car for truck $400
My jeepster TO MUCH!

 

[21willys]

I keep calling it my willys/jeepster, it's actually my wife's.
And it's very solid, haven't dug all the junk out of it yet to check the floor out real good.

 

[Dirtyrat]

Still, looks like a great find.... I rarely ever see old tin around here anymore... I hate scrappers...

 

[Willowbilly3]

I would love to have a Stude coupe express. I like the earlier front a little better though. $8G would blow me out of the saddle though.

 

[Sam_Fear]

Looks like a car show my Olds would have fit right in at. Nice score!

 

[jammersspeed]

great score! looked like some good stuff there!

 

[21willys]

Thanks guys. I will start a build thread for it when I start it. I have to finish my current willys project first tho.

Hey 21willys

Those Jeepsters are really rare. You should see what people are asking for them either finished or parts cars. Keep us in the loop on this build. I have 1960 Willys truck (trying to sell it) that shares the same grill as your Jeepster does. Check out Kaiser Willys Jeep for some available patch panels and other assorted parts too.

The wife and are considering selling it. It just isn't "clicking" with my visions of a cool build. It's neat IMO but my wife and I bought it on a last minute decision and would rather build something older.

We just got done cleaning it out. I bet we removed 100 pounds of coon poop and straw. NASTY!

At Nashville Goodguys

 

[Dirtyrat]

Can we get some more pics of it? What are you thinking of asking for it?

 

[21willys]

I gotta think about the asking price.

The engine has a jasper reman sticker on it. It's not bolted in and I don't know anything about it. The rearend has been changed at some point also.

 

[21willys]

That's all the pics I have on my phone. I will have my wife take more tomorrow.

 

[Dirtyrat]

That looks like it would be such a cool project... Sorry its not the "one" for you...
