This is a 1964 Willys Wagon built by Will Lavers, a 16 year old Ira High School Junior. Frame off restoration with engine swap to LS3 with 4L60E automatic transmission. It was bought on 3/11/17 running and he had it driving on 6/2/17 working after school and weekends. Will had not so great grades and a questionable work ethic until he found a passion in building a car from the ground up. With the help of Robbie Jamison owner of the Auto Clinic for guidance and the use of tools and a bay in his shop a true transformation took place in the car and in the student. Will has straight A’s and is planning his next build for his summer job!

I love them Willys … especially them Wagons …
In 1962, I remember the day my dad pulled gravel up to our little mountain home, and parked his brand-new Willys Wagon. Dad was normally a somber, shell-shocked WWII veteran. But that day, he was grinning, holding the steering wheel of a new Willys’ Jeep.”
My whole life has been involved with that Willys, Even today, I still have that ’62 wagon and drives it every week. It’s been rolled, rebuilt, repainted, rusted out, repaired and now under restoration.
If you want to exhibit, sell parts, attend or get involved, I invite you to the Southeast Willys Jeep Get Together.
Optimistically,

Very rare for a kid today to have the skill and determination to complete such a project. I have a nephew who restored an old Chevy at the age of 14. He graduated from Georgia Tech in mechanical engineering and has his own business.

This young man has solidified my belief in Willys power!
