1952 Willys Aero Wing
« on: October 05, 2017, 08:39:59 PM »
From craigslist. It's for sale near me so if there's someone with serious interest, I would be willing to inspect the car for you. Looks good in the pictures...

Neat 2 door for a modest price. Can't restore one for that.

Car was in Pioneer Museum in Murdo, SD for years. In 2011, it was for sale in Melbourne, FL. In 2007, it was for sale in West Palm, FL (see attached ebay auction). Doesn't look like it's changed much or had much work done other than the front disc conversion (see second pic).

I wonder what the brake conversion was from?  The photo indicates it has four lug wheels.

I wondered that myself. Looks like they kept the stock lower control arm and I suspect the rest of the stock suspension. This is definitely different from mine. Looks like a transplant of stock parts with that full dust shield which I don't have on my conversion.

Thanks for the history AND posting the picof the brakes!

Sent an email & text to the owner, got a text back. He thinks it's Toyota Celica brakes, maybe '86. Didn't extrapolate any further on the details.

So too bad it keeps getting passed around.  Strange journey.

Wheels appear stock to me. Could be the Toyots rotors have the same pattern. The Honda Accord rotors on my car match Aero wheels.

I would've liked more info about the spindles and the conversion in general.
