Willys Surrey (1963)
for sale

Price: US $7,500.00

Description:

Offered for sale is our 1963 Willys Jeep Surrey Serial Number is 56337 22482.
This car was fully restored in our own automotive restoration shop CASCO Automotive Restorations, a division of Classic Auto Supply Co., in Coshocton Ohio in 2004 and shortly thereafter transported to the Florida Key. We enjoyed driving the Surrey in the Keys until last year when we had it transported back to Ohio where we are now enjoying it. The odometer shows 37, 950 miles. I can’t confirm that this mileage is correct.
For more information about the Jeep Surreys (called the Gala when first introduced) and the history and restoration of this Surrey please visit the nice article done by Old Cars Weekly magazine which can be found at: here or
here .
This car is restored to factory original EXCEPT:
· The original 13” wheels were replaced with 15” wheels as used on the earlier Surreys because I liked the look of the 15” hubcaps used on the earlier cars. The original bias ply tires were replaced with radials.
· The original windshield glass was clear, we replaced it with tinted.
· I added an AM/FM/CD radio and speakers (all weather designed for marine use), not on the original car.
· During the restoration we coated the bottom of the body with a truck bed-liner product prior to color paint to help protect the underside of the body and reduce the chances of stone chips.
As it came from the factory this Surrey, like all others, is a 3 speed column shift vehicle. The 60 hp engine is a 134 cu. in. 4 cylinder L- head and is, I believe, the same engine that powered all Jeeps used in World War II. The car is 125” long, 57” wide, 63” high, and weighs ready to drive 2600 lbs. Our Surrey has a 4.11 differential and will drive safely at 50 mph and will make it to 55mph or so but it is most comfortable at 45 mph or below.
Also, in addition to being fun to drive, it is great to watch the enjoyment that others display when they see it drive by. I couldn’t begin to guess how many cell phone pictures have been taken of this car while going down the road or in parking lots.
Elvis fans who have been to the Elvis Museum across from Graceland in Memphis will remember seeing his pink & white Surrey there on display.
Those who have been following the prices of this rare model Willys will know that Surreys have sold in the last year or so at auctions at or near to $50, 000 or even more.
