1 Of 323/Barn Find/193ci L-Head I6/Snappy Interior/Mostly Complete

1930 Willys 98B Coupe Description:

1930 Willys 98B Coupe 
For consignment, a pre-bankruptcy car manufactured by the Willys Overland Company in the form of a 1930 98B coupe. This car is in barn find condition and is a rare find as only 323 of this particular model were produced for the year. It remains structurally sound despite its abundant surface rust, however the body is intact, and only a slight bit of invasive rust is noted at the beginnings of the front fenders and floorboards on the underside. It sports a snappy two tone color scheme with black bottoms and will be a worthwhile investment for its preservation.

Exterior
All steel for this body and its bathed in light green with some dark teal accenting. There are areas of surface rust, spotty rusting in the paint, and it has black painted curved fenders with a common running board. A chromed radiator surround is surface rusted and has a single large round tiebar connected headlight on either side. On the bottom front, a dual bar chrome bumper is on. The top of this coupe is covered in black canvas and will need some restoration as the canvas is dry rotted and shows some rust underneath. The 98B's offered a trunk for storage in lieu of a rumble seat so it is a true 2 seater coupe. This car also has in addition to the light green and teal we note some black paint for the rockers. 19-inch wood spoked wheels are painted black and wrapped with 4.75/5.00-19 rubber.
Interior
Inside light green vinyl for the door panels is on and some chromed but dulled knobs and cranks are installed. A snappy two tone tuck and roll bench set in stretching from door to door, and has alternating light green and dark teal tufts that create the striped look. A large bakelite black steering wheel is fronting a heavily surface rusted dash that has all the original instruments in its center. It has a neatly curved dash top as well. The floors are rotted, but as they are made of wood and uncovered, replacement is a easy. The underside of the canvas top is showing some rot as are the mohair covered side panels for the B pillars in back.
Drivetrain
In the engine bay is a 193ci L-head I-6 which was a pretty powerful engine for this lightweight 2 door coupe. It is surface rusted and shows in need of restoration. There is a 1-barrel carburetor to feed it, and a 3 speed manual transmission on the back with a 4.09 geared rear axle.
Undercarriage
Heavy surface rust throughout, but the only invasive rust noted is on the front with that area being where the front fenders meet the running boards. Leaf springs provide the ride, and 4 wheel mechanical drum brakes are on.
A rare car in barn find condition leaves you with many options at your disposal. Street rod, concours show winner, or maybe a pro touring cross country cruiser. No matter what path you choose, you'll be sure to stand out in this one of 323 from the Hallowed Halls of Classic Auto Mall.
