    Yes, the Ford bought the Willys of Brazil in 1967 and continued to produce the Jeep up to 1983.
    In 1975, the Jeep started to use the new engine 2.3 OHC, the same that our Mavericks equipped.

    If I recall correctly, the Ford WWII Jeeps had horizontal grilles on the front while the Willy's had vertical (as is now a trademark).

    Hard to tell from the photo but looks like a Willy's grille on that photo so makes sense that it is an actual Willy's product. Didn't know that Ford bought Willy's of Brazil though! Interesting stuff.
