This is my 1959 Willys Wagon. This is a 2 wheel drive 1959 Maverick Body on a 1960 Willys 4x4 pick up truck frame. The engine block is a mid 1950\'s Continental Red Seal engine from a Myers irrigation pump that my dad had on the farm, as was the pick up truck. The wagon is ready to go anywhere, anytime. My niece and I are planing on a trip in the wagon along with several others in classic vehicles that will take us on Route 66 from Missouri to Santa Monica, California. <br/ ><br> Tom Lanigan Keysville, Virginia

This is a picture of my 1952 Willys Wagon. I have owned it for 15 years and it is my daily driver. I have converted the engine to a 4.3 liter Chevy V-6 with Auto transmission. The front end is a Fatman production of a Mustang II suspension with Disc brakes and power steering. It also has air-conditioning. I kept the vehicle as original looking as possible even having the original rims cut out and balanced to fit modern axels. The steering shaft was modified as well to retain the original wheel. I used the vehicle for 6 years in my clock repair/sales business. In this photo I was driving friends of mine (Doug and Katie Sherwood) on their wedding day to the reception hall from their beach wedding. The photo was taken by another friend of theirs Mike Manfull. The color scheme was chosen by my wife and resembles a brochure from 1951 which calls these colors the “Jamaica”; I have included a copy of the cover of the brochure.

1956 Willys Station Wagon - I\'m only three months into the project at this point: The body is a 56 with very little rust and a rattle can paint job. It\'s sitting on a low milage 84 Grand Wagoneer which gives me a 360/727 with d44\'s. Additional comforts not offered in 1956 are: power brakes with disc in the front, cruise control, power steering, tilt wheel, intermittent wiper, and highway speeds with plenty of pulling power for the camper or 4wheelers. Those who have done the Waggy swap will agree that it\'s not the easiest choice, but I wanted to keep it Jeep.

Awesome paint job/color scheme! Have any before restoration photos? I’m looking for a replacement front window and wonder if you replaced yours, if you still have the old one (you mite sell) or were can I find one? Big tires must be off-road, how’s the noise and ride on highway?
Flowers is a nice touch!

Have you ever seen the pictures of a wagon I believe was in New Zealand that was getting new front tin in the form of if I remember correctly, 34 Ford. It was mocked up at the time I saw it but looked very cool. I love the wagons from stock to wild .
Great pics of these WIllys! I’m a huge Jeep fan even though we mainly sell Toyotas, these classic Willys are always a head turner and I love seeing what people do with them.

I need help, my cj2a is hanging up in 3rd gear. It appears the clutch gear may moving too far forward so that it can not return> I took the top off the transmission and managed to depress the spring loaded gears and got the clutch gear to move back to it’s correct position. Put it back together and it immediately happened again.
I can not figure out if something in the gear box is allowing the excessive travel or if it is a linkage problem. Any body got any ideas?

My husband and I have a 1960 Jeep Willys Wagon for sale
and still runs fine. It has had the old hurricane engine replaced with a 1986 Jeep CJ5 engine in 1991.
My father in-law bought this Willys from the local dealer and we still have the invoice he paid for it on.
We are making some new pictures of it and will be ready to send them out to others who have inquired on Wednesday of this week. If you would like I could send you a set as well. My email address is above as noted. Judy Summers Cape Charles, Virginia
I am looking for a nice Willys wagon, all considered. Any help appreciated… Jim
