Willys is a name that’s best remembered by the Willys Jeep of World War II, a vehicle that spawned several official and unofficial derivatives, and icons of which live on in the current Jeep brand of Stellantis. However, the Willys-Overland company is much older, dating all the way back to 1908 when John Willys founded the company. In fact, John Willys didn’t create the company, but bought the younger (by just five years) Overland Automobile. Between 1914 and 1933, Willys produced the Willys-Knight range of two and four door cars. What we’ve got here is a 1925 Willys-Knight Roadster that’s more of a restomod, as it packs a much newer drivetrain than what would have originally propelled this Twenties automobile along the roads of the time. The mileage on the car is reported to be just 7,500 miles, and if you want a slice of Twenties American automobilia with a twist in the tale, take a chance on this car.
This 1925 Willys-Knight Roadster is 97 years old, and carries those swish Twenties looks with pride. The car wears a two-tone paint job that sees cream uppers combined with beige lowers. Rolling on wire wheels and whitewall tires, you’d notice that the tires are wider than what would be typical for a Twenties car. There’s a reason for this, that we’ll get to in a moment. In the meantime, take in all the details, such as the podded headlamps, running boards, hood mascot, and the fact that this is a full four door roadster. Now, open a door and enter the maroon interior. Notice that it’s mostly stock, save for the aftermarket Grant GT steering wheel, and the relatively modern gauges for speed, fuel level, oil pressure, battery charge, and even a tachometer. You’ll also probably notice that the gear lever isn’t typical Twenties fare, nor are the pedals. That’s because this is a car that you’d enjoy driving every bit as you’d enjoy travelling in the rear seat of.
Let’s get to the meat of this 1925 Willys-Knight Roadster and it’s a 351ci Ford Windsor V8 that drives the rear wheels via an automatic transmission. Since a Windsor V8 typically puts out at least 250hp (unless it’s one of the emissions-strangled Seventies ones), you can understand why wider tires are necessary.

With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
