UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

May make a good restoration candidate.

“1949 Willys Overland Jeep 4×4 pickup
This was a one family owned pickup
I bought this from the original owners niece up in oregon
Although it was used on a farm it rarely sat outside
The cab and bed are rust free except surface rust

20 years ago her husband started to restore the truck
Rebuilt the hurricane 6 motor and began body work
He stopped 20 years ago and put it in storage
Truck was originally dark green with cream wheels
Later repainted red
Has the accessory Ware hubs and factory heater and spotlight other than that it’s pretty basic
I haven’t tried starting it but the motor is free
Has title
Truck shifts good no rust out anywhere 99% there”

Sam spotted this cool combination. It’s being auctioned at Bring-A-Trailer.

“This 1951 Willys 4-73 is a 4×4 pickup that was acquired by the late owner approximately 25 years ago and has reportedly been stored for much of the last 15 years. The truck is finished in gray primer over a brown interior and is powered by a 134ci L-head inline-four mated to a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes a front tow bar, wood pickup bed extensions, a side-mounted spare, and manually-locking front hubs. This Willys is now offered by the seller on behalf of the late owner’s estate with a matching trailer, a Willys parts catalogue, a clean Oregon title for the truck, and a bill of sale for the trailer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2850.

Seems like a pretty good price. Maybe the rust problem is larger than suggested in the text?

“1955 Willys truck runs and drives good. Does need clutch. Was driven till June this year. Has small ford 6cyl. Engine runs excellent and the 4 wheel drive works. Some body and frame rust $2850 OBO.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

Bill shared this project truck. He’s hoping someone gets it so that he’s no longer tempted by it.

“1953 Willys Overland, with plow.
Been in my family since 1963 (have bill of sale from then) and was in running condition 25 years ago when i parked it in my garage. My grandfather used it to plow his very long driveway. I started a restoration in the 1980’s but never finished.
Its been sitting outside now for about 6 years and I am too old at this point to restore it.
Asking $3000 or best offer”

Bill spotted this sold truck on Hemmings. It seems a hefty price, especially when you look at the undercarriage (cobwebs, some surface rust). The seller states they spent $63,000 on ‘restoring’ this truck.
