Did I say 4 year, maybe 5 or 6... Who knows...

I know this is not a "M" series jeep, but it is a Willys...

For those of you into "Old" cars I just purchased a 1951 Willys Station Wagon to restore... It is 95% complete and only major component missing is the radiator...









I pick it up next weekend...

Already doing research on manuals and parts dealers...

Thanks for looking...

"M" or not, it's a Classic. And it does look to be solid. Sweet!

Floorboards are gone in the front, rear still has the original oak strips in good shape... There is rust along the lower panels from what I can see... and the motor and original carb is there... so we are ahead of the game...

Very Cool!

I've always like the wagon and pickup by Willys.

My wife and I had the non-split windshield version
of this, except that someone had put a Chevy 289
in it. This was back in the early 70's. We always did
like it. She'd drive it around Van Buren whilst I was
away at grad school up the hill. She enjoyed the
double-take men would do when they saw a woman
driving it. Times change. We eventually sold it to a
wealthy Indian who saw it while ferrying aircraft; he
came back on the ground and bought it for a camp
vehicle, as his wife objected to the hounds in their
Cadillac. I've seen another one of these in Fort
Smith by the goodwill place on Third Street (North
side of Garrison Avenue). It's rather derilict, but
could be restored with effort and money. (What
can't?)

I have always liked the wagon. How hard is it to find sheet metal parts?

There is a Jeep truck not far from where I live. The bed is like swiss cheese and the frame is rusted through where the rain hits it between the bed and the cab. I wondered how hard parts are for that as well.

I have already located a place selling the radiator... And another place that carries the sheetmetal parts... Floors and quarter panels...

Got to get it home first and trace the title out, he does not have one, but it was registered in "99 so it can be gotten...

if you need wagon parts try carl walck at walcks 4 wheel drive. he's in bowmanstown pa.i've been dealing with him for years. always a pleasant experience i think he owns one or two himself. cool truck good luck with it.
