We don’t think much about Willy Overland Cars, but from 1912 to 1918 Willys was the second-largest producer of automobiles in the United States after Ford. Most people only think of Jeep when they think of Willys. This Overland is listed on eBay and for sale in Prospect, Pennsylvania. It’s been bid up to $7500 but the reserve has not been met. It’s been sitting for awhile, but it doesn’t look like it was sitting very long and was restored before it was put away. It runs and drives well and did not take much to get it running.

They say it was stored for years, but that’s not much dust. It’s been sitting, but perhaps not long after it was restored.

It does look beautiful from every angle. The top and spare tire cover look well and recently made.

The interior is in great shape. The carpet and and other interior components may not be period correct, but they do look nice.

The engine is said to run well. It’s certainly looks like it’s had some recent attention.

Those turn signals sure look out of place, don’t they? Otherwise, this looks like a nice old car. It’s a contemporary of the Model T, but like other cars of its time was way ahead of the Model T . It has an electrical system, an actual transmission, standard pedal arrangement and all the things that make this a very drivable car. It would be a fun car to drive, but still not an everyday driving car. What do you think the bidding will reach? It’s being sold by a dealer who is also selling other cars, but the others are mostly parts cars. He says this car was stored for years. Perhaps he is thinking in “dog years”. I look forward to reading what you think.
