Used 1953 Willys Sedan for sale in Phoenix, Arizona
Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is happy to present this fully restored 1953 Willys 2-door Sedan for sale right now in our Arizona showroom, located in North Phoenix. This build is a throwback to the days of drag racing- when legends like “Bullet Bob Reid and “Fast Freddie Wagenhals were just starting out they would pick up a cheap car and make it into a race winner. This 1953 Willys was Wagenhals first high school car, that Bob helped him build in Marion Ohio back in 1959 and subsequently the car that got his racing career started. Today it is a well-oiled machine that has been lovingly restored several times to add stronger, faster components and a more lavish interior. This gasser has a supercharged 383 CID V8 under the hood tied to a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission with a Lokar shifter located on the floor. This thing is all about maximum power and noise- headers and a custom aluminum radiator with everything in the engine bay chromed out make this 53 Willys one for the car show scene as well as the drag strip. On the outside, Fred and Bob did their best to preserve the heritage of the car while also giving it a modern vibe. Chrome badging and bumpers along with custom wheels and radial tires accompanying the white exterior paintjob keep this one classy yet simple. Inside, red vinyl and carpet with a custom dashboard and aftermarket gauges make this 53 Willys a nice place to sit. Heres your chance to own a piece of history! Think of all the man hours and memories made in this car and imagine what you could do with it to continue its story… Give our helpful and knowledgeable Sales staff a call at (623) 900-4884 for more information or email us at scottsdale@gatewayclassiccars.com to get any other questions answered.
