1956 Wagon North Las Vegas, NV **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.

Runs, but needs work.

“Its an almost completed project, it runs and drives .
It has a rebuilt Chevy 283 out of a 1960 Bel-Air that purrs like a kitten!
Custom 16″ wheels with like new 235/85 R16 Cooper Discovery Tires.

What it needs:
The Carb. needs to be rebuilt.
It has two cracked windows.
Needs a speedometer.
I spun the brake line about an inch from the Master Cylinder while putting a new one on. A double Flare tool would fix that in just a couple of minutes.
The seats need to be reupholstered. Very easy to do!
Missing Body Trim.
And the lights need to be hooked up.
The only rust is on the driver and passenger floor boards.”
