Needs to be in decent, not perfect condition.  Willing to ship or can travel 100+ miles from ME WI.

I have one.  But, the distance may be too far/shipping too expensive.

I have a stamped aftermarket I was prepping to use but in the middle of the body work (see photos below), found another used hood. So, I have this aftermarket extra.

It's located in Alabama.....

The one change I made to it is replace the hinge/rear support with an original (2nd photo). I thought the aftermarket hinge didn't sit right and was attached to the hat channel support - so just replaced both.  Not welded yet, just screwed in.

They currently cost over $400.  I bought it in '05 for $250.  I could see it go for $200 + shipping.  Shipping would be a challenge as it would need bracing to keep it in shape.

Thanks Rus, and I agree, bracing would be essential to keep it in shape.  I'd be happy to pay you to brace it as long as shipping isn't too crazy.  That said, let me see if something comes up a little closer to home. If not, I'll be in touch.

I have a brand new hood and tailgate.  No “Willys” stamp.  Located north of Chicago.
