Make-A-Wish’s 1956 Wagon Rebuild

• CATEGORIES: Features, Willys Wagons This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

When he was sixteen, Daniel Friend wanted to get his grandfather’s 1956 wagon running. He got it running, but then landed in the hospital. Afflicted with cystic fibrosis since birth, he was recovering in the hospital when a social worker mentioned the Make-A-Wish foundation. One thing led to another and soon his wish was granted. Learn more at The Orange County Register:

1961 Wagon Homer, AK $1500

• CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

If it starts up, this could be a great price, even with a little rust.

“This is a classic! Willys 4WD Jeep Station Wagon with a lifetime total of 75k original miles on it. It has a second engine in it, a completely rebuilt original 6 cylinder “super Hurricane” which is powerful enough to make 70 mph on the high way with the use of a low miles overdrive unit I found and installed in it. The car is a pleasure to drive and a real conversation piece. Sale also comes with a spare, zero miles, rebuilt 6cyl engine of unknown condition. Transmission was gone over by a transmission shop in last 20k miles and runs great. Suspension, steering, drivelines, rear and front drives and body all in acceptable condition. It runs but has been stored under cover for four years since I fired it up last. 4WD works fine. Has some body rust.
This could also be a good candidate for a full restoration. Cherry it out and you could drive it for many years in style!
I’m getting old and need the cash.”

• CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Dan spotted this nicely restored wagon. Despite the price, there is still a little work left.

“98 % complete needs a few final touches…Everything gone through…no rust, new paint inside and out, rubber, glass, headliner, white wall tires new or replated chrome original radio…rewired 12 volt system and electric wipers. Everything else is back to stock much more replaced. It has the F-6 161 Hurricane 685 Engine very rare 1952-1955. Sandblasted to bare metal professional paint job. This was a project I did while taking care of my terminally ill wife, she has passed and it is why I’m selling it. I’m willing to negotiate with shipping. A perfect parade vehicle…the PICs speak for themselves…I can email more. Call for more information.”

1957 Wagon Grant Creek, MT **Status Unknown**

• CATEGORIES: Willys Wagons This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $3600

It’s a project that includes a warn overdrive. The body appears in good shape.

“Classic Willys 4×4 in great condition to restore. Maroon and white.
Original basketweave headliner in amazing shape.
Hurricane straight 6 engine. I have all the pieces to this car except
for the spare tire guard. Years ago I bought a bunch of unblemished interior panels to replace the flawed ones. I believe I have the full set…they just screw on.
I bought two replacement arm rests for the back seats. Have a couple of rolls of piping for headliner edges.
As you can see the woven headliner is still intact and cool.
The sheet metal is predominantly straight, as is the stainless. Front bumper has a bend that needs straightening. There is one rust thru spot in the sheetmetal about 3 inches long near the back right wheel.
I have all the wood slats for floor, all the seats, the spare tire. The last picture is of the extra transmission that allows overdrive, if one wants to install that feature.
I haven’t driven it since 2000 or so…but it’s a worthy project for restoration being so original and relatively good shape.
