Here's a shot of my Willys. Got her out of a field about a year ago. Haven't had much time to work on her. Supposedly ran when parked. Thinking about hot roding the car but not sure.

lol ran when parked 30 years ago? Actually not in bad shape for a field find though. I would drive with that patina all day long. How is the underneath?

Totally clean. California car.

Agreed. Repair mechanically and drive as is.

A turbo 4.0 isn't a bad idea. Shes definitely getting a manual.

Could you boost the flathead? THAT would be an awesome engine.

Doubt it, I imagine parts are pretty scarce. Although anything can be done for the right price.

I think the patina is amazing. Leave as is.

Generally I would agree with you, but the Icon derelict concept is so appealing.

My girlfriends parents' neighbor has one that looks almost exactly like this out back of his house, along with a few waggies and a J truck. I would love to get the panel, plop it on a TJ Unlimited frame (I've spoke with a gentleman who did this, it is apparently almost as easy as making a few mounts bolting the body on) and proceed to drive it all over, patina and all.

So many possibilities with that. If you keep it original it will be worth a mint, but the call of the LS1 is strong.
