Hi Gary, Please let me know if you still have the Willys and are interested in selling. I’m interested!

In reply to Michael, yes I still have the wagon. For the first ten years It has done the car shows. It became my daily driver in 2015 when we moved to the DFW area, and now has about 35k miles.
Might be for sale this fall, 2019, as I have a 55 3100 chevy truck with C4 Corvette suspension front and rear.

Still have her?
We had a red ’57 Jeep wagon like this one except it looked like a panel wagon converted to a passenger wagon. We had it fr 3 ears in Barrancabermeja, Colombia when my father worked there for Intercol (subsidiary of ESSO). It was indestructible. Onceon a trip to Bucaramanga, we hit a pothole the size of a small car and a hammer on the floorboard bounced off the ceiling as a result (we bounced off the ceiling as well). Another time my mom tried to teach me to drive it but I had trouble steering it and after backing out of the driveway and putting it into 1st, I got overwhelmed. I stepped on the clutch thinking that would stop it and it lurched into the front yard over a 12+” curb instead! That was the end of teaching me to drive.. Vic
American Racing, 15×10, 5 on 5.5. Cannot remember what they are called, but bought them in 2003. Send American Racing a picture, they may have some in stock.
Forgot to mention, my ’62 has a tank that holds approx. 20-30 gallons. Not sure who made it(still trying to ID many parts, she’s a bit of a Frankenstein). The guy I bought it from owns Torch Monkey Fabrication in Round Rock, Tx. He can probably build you a tank to whatever specs you want.
Very nice. I just bought a ’62 this past June. I have a picture of your Wagon taken of the drivers side that I saw on WillysOnline.com. I’ve been trying to find out what rims you have on yours. Brand, size, bolt pattern, etc. My wife and I would like to find a set but no one I’ve shown the picture can ID them. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Danny Tatum Austin,TX.
