1961 Wagon Baton Rouge, LA Call for Price

Based on the seller's comment, I believe all that faux wood grain was airbrushed. Must have taken quite a bit of time.

"Fully Restored, Air brush painted! If you can't afford it don't call."

Wow, let's see if I understand the seller correctly. The price of this Willys isn't listed so I need to call to learn the price however I'm not supposed to call for the price unless I'm sure I can afford to purchase this truck and I won't know if I can afford this truck unless I know the price but I can't call for this missing information. Am I reading the ad right? I'll take a wild guess and assume the seller believes this truck to be far more valuable than I think it is since it's fully restored AND airbrush painted. This truck looks nice but I'll keep the Willys I have, thanks.

Well if I can't afford it even if I don't know how much it costs, I guess I just as well consider myself Mr. Lucky.

It is purty, in its way. Too bad there wasn't a little something about its attributes beyond the airbrushing. If I was to go for a wagon, I'd want a panel delivery with stack forest green paint, though.

Clearly, the seller thinks it is worth a significant amount of money. You can see that in the pictures of it sitting in the showroom with a barrier to prevent people from actually touching it. Based upon what's shown in the pics, this is NOT air brushed. You can see a straight seam and wrinkles in the open door pic, which seems to indicate the exterior is a vinyl overlay. The seats, based upon the type of material and design, look to be Ford King Ranch seats. Somebody spent a lot of time and did a very nice job on this. But, what's it really worth? Apparently a lot to the clueless seller.

Yeah a lot of hard work and $$$$ went into this, but hopefully the seller is not mixing up whatever was spent to fix her up with whatever the market will pay as a selling price. Also, anytime you go custom, the market shrinks as few buyers (even if they are interested in custom) share the same taste in that exact vehicle. That Willys-Overland script on the tailgate is rare - from '49 I think.

The asking price for this Willys wagon is now listed on the craigslist ad and it can be yours for only $85,000! Act now, supplies are limited. Offer void where prohibited by common sense.
