UPDATE: **Sold** Was $13,900.
This looks like a well done wagon.
"I looked at a lot of wagons before I found this, it is done right. You can tell as soon as you drive it, it works as a complete package, with a nicely matched engine, steering and axle ratios, strong brakes, nice ride & handling. I 've driven it to Death Valley and up the 395, it goes 65-70 with no issues. You won't be able to build one for lots more than I'm asking, so if you want a tastefully done wagon that isn't mangled together, this is the one.
Body/Chassis:
Boxed frame, frame-off restoration. No rust.
Engine:
- GM Mr. Goodwrench 350 -- very low miles, burns no oil, starts right up, runs right.
- Edelbrock performer intake, 750 cfm carb & aluminum valve covers with new gaskets.
- Stainless exhaust, 2.5" dual exhaust with big truck mufflers. Sounds nice, not too loud.
- New Aluminum radiator
- Transmission: GM TH400, shifts perfectly. Floor mounted shift. I think it may be rebuilt.
- Transfer Case: NP208 (Selec-Track, shift on fly)
- Suspension: Double-shocked all around. Stock springs I think.
- Axles: Dana 44 with 3.54 - I believe they are narrowed from K5 Blazer (80's).
- Brakes: Blazer power front disc, drum rear. Stops great with firm pedal.
- Steering: GM tilt column, Scout II Saginaw box (new). Steers straight and true, nice ratio.
- Rims: 5 New 16x7 Cragar D-Window with stainless trim rings.
- Tires: 5 new (1K miles) Hankook 215/85R16 Dynapro ATM tires
- Heat & A/C: Vintage Air unit. Was new in box 2 years ago, I installed with all new fittings. Cold A/C, no "recharge" needed.
Bumpers: these are custom made, very heavy duty. 2" hitch front and rear. Rear has air tank (!) built in. I also have original chrome bumpers in very nice condition with mounts and grommets. I mounted the chrome on rear.
- Gas Tank: New custom built aluminum 15 gal.
- Interior: All re-upholstered, headliner with no tears or sags, carpet throughout. Under carpet is sound deadener. Seats re-sprung, they are from a T-bird, late 70's I think. I have 3 point seatbelts, really nice kit, I just haven't installed them.
- Stereo is a new vintage look unit with CD, aux for iPod, flip down/removable face. 4 new Pioneer 3-way speakers
Misc:
New glass -- all tinted except the front, front doors a bit lighter.
Rebuilt vacuum wiper by 'The wiper man'.
New weatherstripping - driver's side needs to be glued on.
Like any older vehicle, it needs the odd screw tightened, or a mod here or there to make it your own. As a starting or finishing point, this is a really sweet Willys.
Hopefully it's to your liking. Please no trade or lowball offers. I'm not desperate to sell it, and given the price I paid and work and items I've added, it's a great deal."
