1933 Willys Roadster Custom You have just stumbled across one of the coolest street rods on the road. This one off car was commissioned by Willys Unlimited in Columbus, Ohio and was hand built to be the only 1933 Willys Roadster with a rumble seat out there. The car is incredibly unique and just has a great look. One look at the car in person and you will forget all those other 32 Fords you have seen in the past. If you want to stand out from the crowd this is definitely the car to take you there. We can guarantee you will never pull up to a car show and see another one quite like it. This is one of those cars where everything was well thought out and planned which is very evident when checking it out. Every part on the car was custom built to enhance the overall theme. The body is in excellent condition and painted in a beautiful Black paint with a Red accent along the body lines down each side of the car. The front 33 Willys grill was hand built and has a beautiful shine. The whole front end look with the fenders and hood give the car a striking appearance. The 34 Willys side panels were made to be removable for that old school hot rod look and they have 4 custom slits in each which accentuate the swooping of the fenders and body. The deck lid and doors all are shaved so it has a really clean look with no major hardware in place besides the side mirrors, custom built 33 Willys headlights with internal turn signals and chrome tail lights. Polished American Racing mags sit under all four corners and are wraped with steel belted radial tires that have plenty of life left in them. Under the car is a custom chassis built by Willys Unlimited that utilizes a completely polished out stainless steel coilover suspension in front and rear with solid billet A-Arms. The suspension was specifically tuned to match the 2600 pound total weight of the vehicle. A 9 inch Ford rear end is found in back and was narrowed to fit the car. It has 4 wheel power disk brakes which were built using Corvette components and polished calipers. Stainless steel brake lines were used throughout and are polished as well. The sound is delivered via a fully polished stainless steel exhaust system which is routed out of the rear. A Haywire custom wiring loom was used in combination with a Odyssey dry cell battery so electrical issues should be of no concern. Dyno tested at 400HP+ to the rear wheels the car is no slouch and the small block 383 stroker motor was very nicely built. It is a four bolt motor with roller rockers, a comp cam and 850 cfm Holley double pumper carburetor. It utilizes a MSD ignition system and high volume NASCAR electric fuel pump. The engine features finned valve covers and lots of chrome so it is just as fun to show off as it is to run. A custom billet piece was made for the firewall so even the engine compartment itself has a nice look. Paired with the motor is a Turbo 350 automatic transmission that has been outfitted with manual shift and Ford 9 inch rear end with 3:56 gears. The interior is done in a custom Grey and Black upholstery which looks like new. The rumble seat is finished out in matching material.

About Willys
The Willys-Overland Company, later known simply as Willys, was an American automobile manufacturer that played a significant role in automotive history. Here's an overview of the story of Willys:Early Years:
Founding: The company was founded by John North Willys in 1908 in Toledo, Ohio, initially as the Willys-Overland Motor Company. John Willys acquired the Overland Automotive Division of Standard Wheel Company, which produced the Overland automobile.
Early Success: Willys-Overland experienced success in the early 1910s, producing vehicles like the Overland Model 79, which was a popular car due to its affordability and reliability.
World War I:
Military Contracts: During World War I, Willys-Overland secured significant contracts to supply vehicles for the war effort. The company's production capabilities were crucial for the military, producing trucks and automobiles for various purposes.
Introduction of the Jeep:
WWII Contribution: In the build-up to World War II, Willys-Overland, along with other automakers, responded to the U.S. Army's request for a lightweight, all-terrain reconnaissance vehicle. The company developed the Willys MB, which became the iconic Jeep.
Jeep Legacy: The Jeep, with its ruggedness, versatility, and reliability, played a crucial role in World War II. Its success led to the establishment of the Jeep brand, known for producing off-road vehicles that gained popularity in both military and civilian applications.
Post-War Period:
Civilian Jeep Models: After the war, Willys introduced civilian versions of the Jeep, like the CJ (Civilian Jeep) series, which were adapted from the wartime Willys MB. These vehicles became popular for off-road and recreational use.
Willys' Evolution and Later Years:
Ownership Changes: Willys-Overland faced financial difficulties and changed ownership several times in the post-war years, eventually becoming the Kaiser-Jeep Corporation after being acquired by Kaiser Motors in the 1950s.
End of Willys: In 1970, the American Motors Corporation (AMC) acquired Kaiser-Jeep. The Willys nameplate gradually faded away as AMC focused on the Jeep brand. Later, Chrysler acquired AMC in the 1980s and continued the production and development of Jeep vehicles.
Legacy:
Willys' legacy is primarily associated with its contribution to the automotive industry through the creation of the Jeep, a vehicle that transformed mobility during World War II and became an iconic brand in its own right. The Jeep's reputation for durability, versatility, and off-road capability originated from the innovations and success of Willys-Overland during wartime.
