Real wood framing on the body has the appeal of an American surf wagon, but on steroids. This bad wagon has been completely restored and built on a Suzuki 4x4 chassis. It is powered by a Chevrolet 4.3L V6 engine topped with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and connected to a 200R4 automatic transmission complete with overdrive. Also, this full-time four-wheel-drive Morris Minor classic features a Griffin aluminum radiator and an electronic fuel pump.

Dubbed the Morzuki, it features all books, records, diagram, and build sheets. The California black tag also comes with the vehicle and is titled as "1960 Morris".

Produced in England from 1948 to 1971, the Morris Minor was produced in competition with Volkswagen. The two cars had plenty in common such as their size, price, appearance, and power. The difference is Minor Morris had the engine in the front while Volkswagen was powered by an engine in the rear. Body styles did not change often, so the doors, hoods and fenders were interchangeable on the Woodie wagon, sedan, and convertible.

The Morris wasn't considered a powerful car by any means. In fact, it was considered very under-powered. Swapping in an engine from an MG or Datsun wasn't uncommon to add a little pep in its step, and they would also add disc brakes from an MG Midget or Austin-Healey Sprite.
