This 1941 Willys Is The Last Vehicle You’d Expect To Find For Sale At A Volvo Dealership!


This 1941 Willys Is The Last Vehicle You’d Expect To Find For Sale At A Volvo Dealership!

Volvo dealerships pride themselves on selling for a company that believes first and foremost in the safety of their customers. It’s a nice thing, if not a little dull. But Volvos have never really been cheap…more mid-priced. So it’s not surprising that occasionally there is an interesting ride in the used car lot that got traded in for a safe family ride. I know of one friend of mine who went this route, trading in a Z51 Corvette for a XC90 to haul his two kids around in. Which leads me to ask: What did the former owner of this 1941 Willys trade in for?

This Willys is a knockout. The black all-steel coupe was formerly owned by Gary Anderson, the founder of SoftSeal rubber. The car is built with a G-machine kick to it, with seemingly no expense spared. A custom Art Morrison chassis supports the car, with a four-link 9″ out back and Strange coil over shocks keeping the suspension in check. The 3rd Gen Hemi is backed by a Phoenix-built 4L60E automatic and sends power to the 3.70 gears in the rear. 12.5″ Wilwood discs sit at all four ends with four-piston calipers rein in the power when asked.

Inside the car things look a little more normal for a Volvo dealership. The brown leather interior is gorgeous, there are power windows, a Vintage Air system, gauges by Classic Instruments and a Stealth stereo. Attention was certainly given to driver comfort.

So what is the asking price on this multiple award-winning beauty? According to Volvo of Dallas, you’re looking at $110,988, or $1,385 per month for 72 months @ 3.9% APR with a down payment of $22,197.

    Sweet ride, I always liked the ’40 – ’41 Willys, however this one is out of my price range.
