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.

Bridging the gap between the military vehicles and the civilian utility vehicles, the Jeep CJ came to life in 1945. In simple terms, it was the world's first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive car. The acronym CJ itself stands for “Civilian Jeep”. Manufactured by Willys-Overland, it showcases a no-nonsense design with maximum off-road capability, making it perfectly suited for farming and ranching. Buyers in that era didn't need much else, making the CJ a highly desired vehicle. It also explains why you can still find well-preserved examples today. What we have on offer here is a 1953 Willys CJ-3A Jeep with its odometer indicating a mileage of 23,711. Currently located in Corpus Christi, Texas, this CJ is ready to give you a taste of American history.
The Willys Jeepster was originally designed to bridge the gap between utilitarian Jeeps and comfortable passenger cars, offering open-air driving with rugged charm. This 1949 example, offered from Nevada, Missouri, has been transformed into a restomod that blends vintage Jeepster character with modern muscle. With a 6.2L LS3 V8 under the hood, automatic transmission, and just 265 miles since completion, it delivers classic looks with contemporary power and usability
The original Jeep CJ series is what became the civilian variant of the tough and rugged Willys Jeep that saw time in the battlefield. In fact, the story is quite similar to the Hummer; a military vehicle adapted into civilian use. But what if you want the military variant instead of the civilian one? Well, unlike Humvees, that’s a bit harder to come by when we talk about Willys Jeeps. You see, these vehicles were considered to be pretty much disposable, leading a few years of hard life before being put to pasture. Some examples lasted mere weeks in battlefields, such as vehicles involved in World War II and the Korean War. However, sometimes you do get lucky and find a classic survivor. This 1952 Willys M38 from Flower Mound, Texas, is one such lucky find. It’s reportedly got just 1,789 miles on it, too. So if you’re a fan of wartime vehicles and want something that’s truly special, call or DM us right now.
In 1953, Chevrolet introduced a car that would shake up the American sports car market. Yes, the Corvette was born that year. With breathtaking styling by Harley Earl, this iconic sports car initially came with a six-cylinder engine that was definitely unsuitable for such an amazing piece of automotive art and mechanical excellence. So, Chevy rectified the mistake by 1955 with the introduction of the Small-Block V8. Initially displacing 265ci, it grew to a 327ci unit by 1962. That’s what we have in this 1957 Chevrolet Corvette, with its 327ci V8 that packs dual quad carburetors and a reported output of 400 horseower. This Washington-based car also comes with its original interior, as well as original Corvette wheels. If you want a special classic Corvette that’s definitely going to be valuable for years to come, talk to us right now.
