Willys is a name that’s best remembered by the Willys Jeep of World War II, a vehicle that spawned several official and unofficial derivatives, and icons of which live on in the current Jeep brand of Stellantis. However, the Willys-Overland company is much older, dating all the way back to 1908 when John Willys founded the company. In fact, John Willys didn’t create the company, but bought the younger (by just five years) Overland Automobile. Between 1914 and 1933, Willys produced the Willys-Knight range of two and four door cars. What we’ve got here is a 1925 Willys-Knight Roadster that’s more of a restomod, as it packs a much newer drivetrain than what would have originally propelled this Twenties automobile along the roads of the time. The mileage on the car is reported to be just 7,500 miles, and if you want a slice of Twenties American automobilia with a twist in the tale, take a chance on this car.
This 1925 Willys-Knight Roadster is 97 years old, and carries those swish Twenties looks with pride. The car wears a two-tone paint job that sees cream uppers combined with beige lowers. Rolling on wire wheels and whitewall tires, you’d notice that the tires are wider than what would be typical for a Twenties car. There’s a reason for this, that we’ll get to in a moment. In the meantime, take in all the details, such as the podded headlamps, running boards, hood mascot, and the fact that this is a full four door roadster. Now, open a door and enter the maroon interior. Notice that it’s mostly stock, save for the aftermarket Grant GT steering wheel, and the relatively modern gauges for speed, fuel level, oil pressure, battery charge, and even a tachometer. You’ll also probably notice that the gear lever isn’t typical Twenties fare, nor are the pedals. That’s because this is a car that you’d enjoy driving every bit as you’d enjoy travelling in the rear seat of.
Let’s get to the meat of this 1925 Willys-Knight Roadster and it’s a 351ci Ford Windsor V8 that drives the rear wheels via an automatic transmission. Since a Windsor V8 typically puts out at least 250hp (unless it’s one of the emissions-strangled Seventies ones), you can understand why wider tires are necessary.

Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
