- 1956 Willys Wagon 226 Hurricane $3,000 Candler, NC
EDIT 5-4-25: (May the 4th be with you) Mike brought up some pretty basic stuff I missed and I totally agree, not a 1956. As he points out the ribbed roof makes this at least a ’59. In general I refrained from calling this a Maverick, just missing a few pictures to determine that. The Trim alone does not make it all Maverick, it has Maverick like trim, and then other pieces are just wrong for a Maverick. Cowl trim is wrong, and hood trim looks wrong, what little I can see. To further its not a 1956 Maverick the TV Show was on from September 1957 to July 1962. The trim package continued past those dates just not as a Maverick. The deciding factor for me at times is the title if the Title says 1956, when I walk up to DMV it’s a 1956 all day long. Just enough poor pictures to make one wonder, let’s contact them and go for a ride!
While the exterior is rough or ruff, the engine compartment still has quite a bit of stuff left in it, this could be a possible addition to an existing project for some parts.
Has Maverick trim around the windows, also provisions for the trim on the tailgate, kinda hard to make it all out in the pictures. But dash is missing the basket weave overlay, and looks repainted inside.
Information from the seller:
Ruff body will need love for sure

I keep pointing this out, always seems to be missed, This wagon has a “RIBBED ROOF”, can’t be a 1956, the ribbed roof was introduced in 1959 as a 1960 model. As to the basket weave dash, had 2 1960 wagons, the 2 wheel drive had the basket weave, the 4 wheel drive didn’t, in my opinion, the basket weave dash was unique to the 2 wheel drive model. But then again, what do I know.
I apricate the look, will add some details to the post for sure, yeah I have a lot of research on the Maverick in general I was almost going to leave that part out, the trim is kinda all over the place.
Agree on the dates for sure I missed that part.
Maverick the TV Show in general was 9/1957 to 7/1962 on TV (ALL VERY MUCH BEFORE MY TIME!), so nothing pre or post that can even be a true “Maverick”. they did continue the trim past the show but I feel they dropped the name.
Thanks for the reminder on the rigs and the feedback!
