1917 WILLYS OVERLAND 85 6
Vehicle Description
1917 Willys Overland 85-6 Touring Car. All original matching number 6 cylinder Continental engine with 3 speed transaxle. I like buying cars and trucks that have been kept inside and not run for decades + and bring them back to life . This is one of those .Complete car last registered 1971 as a Historic vehicle. Looks like most all the 108 Years of this cars life it was taken care of and housed as much as possible, It has ONLY surface rust, possibly original paint. Wood is mostly in good shape, wheels are nice. Appears this had not been started since it was last registered in 71. Motor is fresh rebuil, starter was bad. What I done was R&R oil pan cleaned and checked internal, updated Starte, distributo, ignition, and carbureto, electric fuel pump . All original pieces go with. Original gas tank and radiator still in good shape.Starts and runs great with correct oil pressur, lot drives.
Things I see still need to be done to be road worth, water pump needs new packing (goes with), brake linkage freed u, clutch is grabb, tires. convertible top cloth.
This 108 Year old is in way better shape than most of the muscle cars I buy! A lot of the interior is original and not bad, ga, oil andoil level gauges work .So If You're looking for a Larg, Rar, Unmoleste, open car from the early 19, for not much $$ . CALL ME . (number last picture) . Thanks for looking. Bill
