1957 Wagon Abilene, TX **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.

Looks pretty good for not having run in ten years.

“1957 Willys Station Wagon with a L226 Super Hurricane 6 Cyl engine. Vehicle is all original, ran when parked 10 years ago, but does not run now. Clean title and located near Abilene Texas. Body does have some rust, but in pretty good shape for a 1957 model. This vehicle is a four will drive and also has an over drive which acts like a gear splitter. I have plenty of pictures and even a video I can e-mail. Serious inquiries only. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500

(07/18/2014) It’s a project.

I have a Jeep Willy’s I’ll find out the year if your interested in it. Has rust and bondo on it. Still needs new metal here and there. We have everything for it execpt the seats. Motor is taken apart but everything is there. Tires are still good I believe, rolls but doesn’t steer. Price is $1500, don’t have to sell it I’ll just let it sit till I get around to it. Sould be a great son and father project or just a restoration job, you can easily make money off this Jeep! Title is a little weird but if your interested I’m it call or text me and I can explain it to you. Thanks”

Modified Jeep in Florida

Josh forwarded this ad for a modified jeep. It’s not quite as nice as Wally Cohn’s, but you’ll still spend some time looking at it. Note the plow setup on the front.

Steve’s Willys Weather Block

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

Steve’s got his ‘weather block’ prepared for winter!

“With the days getting shorter, and the weather patterns starting to change, it’s time to set up my Weather Block. As you can tell, this photo was taken on a cloudy day. Here are the instructions I place in my kitchen so when I look out the window I will know how to interpret my weather block. What else do you do with an old Willys engine?

Dry Block – Fair weather
Shadow under Block – Sunny
No Shadow under Block – Cloudy
Wet Block – Rainy
Invisible block – Foggy
Swaying Block – Windy
Horizontal Block – Wind Storm
White block – Snowy
Bouncing Block – Earthquake
Water Flowing Around Block – Flood
Flashing Block – Thunder Storm
Missing Block – Tornado

My Weather Block even tells you the season:
Hot Block – Summer
Leaf Covered Block – Autumn
Cold Block – Winter
Grass Growing on Block – Spring
