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.

The '70s saw big changes for the American automotive industry; the oil crisis meant large gas guzzlers were out the door, and the American car buyer had to embrace the fuel-sipping performance showcased by imports. Prior to 1973, however, the world was filled with performance and sharp looks; today, it is an example of intense performance and good looks that stems from the golden era of muscle cars. Are you looking to get your hands on your very own example of unfiltered muscle? This 1970 Plymouth Road Runner could be the answer.
It’s not often that concept cars translate well into production. Concepts usually don’t have to bend to legislation or practicality and are therefore often left as flights of fancy, perhaps spurring a watered-down production car bearing a few minor elements. But for the Chevrolet Corvette C3, the links between it and the Mako Shark II concept car are a dead giveaway. The C3 was a departure for the Corvette line, and included a long hood, concealed headlights, and a short deck. The same silhouette set the tone for virtually every generation of ’Vette that followed. Our featured car is a 1974 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray with an exceptionally low mileage of just 25,591. The current owner even reports having documentation on hand to authenticate the car’s mileage.
The Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu is a timeless classic whose design lends itself towards some amazing restorations, rebuilds, and resto-mods. The Chevelle was conceived as Chevrolet’s midsized model, sitting above the Chevy II Nova, and below larger cars such as the Impala. The first-generation Chevelle sports clean lines and an elegant silhouette, with a large grille, plenty of chrome, and four headlamps up front. Based on the A-Body platform, the 1964–1967 generation of Chevelle was availble in a variety of configurations, including 2-door sedan, convertible, four-door sedan, coupe utility, and station wagon variations. Our featured car is a 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu, which features a new V8 engine and transmission, and well as many new cosmetic and mechanical parts to make this classic car look show-ready. The current owner reports that the car is offered with its original engine and steering column.
