Nice Looking 1953 Aero Ace For Sale
« on: March 13, 2020, 07:37:32 PM »
Hemmings Motors News has an ad for a 1953 Willys Aero Ace in Fairfield, OH.  The asking price is $9750 (Negotiable).  Anybody know this car?

Nice looking Willys. Says overdrive not working. How difficult is that to fix or get parts for?

The article in the link below is extremely will written, should answer your question.  Borg Warner overdrives used to be a very common option.  I don't think overdrive parts would be very hard to find.  This article has been posted on this forum in the past and is worth reading.
