1962 Willy’s wagon
$4,000
Listed a day ago in Yorktown Heights, NY

This came out of Califon, NJ. It had a 230_OHC Tornado in it from what I recall. Thomas was able to get some parts off the PO for his 230 Rig he had the tailgate and it was in pretty good shape. It’s got some character that’s for sure. Does not mention the engine or drive line but from what I recall a few month back it ran and the sort when he went and saw it.

$24k OBO
Listed in Rockaway, NJ

Neat to see the options on this one, these can be really specific vehicles at times. I have a few of these 230’s, I gifted away all the 24V stuff, that stuff is really cool, but its nothing I need. Other folks who are in that space can really need that stuff at times. There was a generator set up on these things that was just massive rated to 10,000 RPM and 60A really neat stuff at times.

INFORMATION FROM SELLER:

It’s OK make an offer! Complete Description

Asking Price: with an original bed and tailgate research shows a pricing range between $18,500 and $24,500 looking for offers OBO (Package Deal)

Location: Rockaway NJ

Mileage: 4,011 Original Miles

Overview

Offered for sale is an incredibly rare, highly original 1967 Kaiser Jeep M724 1¼-Ton 4×4 Contact Maintenance Truck. Representing a tiny fraction of total M715-series production, this M724 is an absolute time capsule with just over 4,000 original miles.

This vehicle served at a Pennsylvania military installation and proudly retains its original stencils (27 RAO / 727SVC). Unlike most military trucks that were gutted or heavily modified after service, this M724 remains intact, operational, and mechanically refreshed.

The Truck & Maintenance Box

• Drivetrain: Powered by the correct Tornado 230ci inline-six engine paired with a Warner T-98 4-speed manual transmission and New Process 200 transfer case.

• Mechanical Status: All fluids (engine oil, transmission, transfer case, differentials, and brakes) have been freshly changed. The truck runs, drives, and stops excellently.

• The Stewart Avionics Box: The Army-installed contact maintenance body is in phenomenal shape and documented. It features an incredibly low-hour onboard generator (4 hours logged) and an integrated welder (10 hours logged).

The Package Deal: Bonus M715 Bed & Tailgate Included (Both SOLID)

To sweeten the deal for a collector or restorer, this sale includes a spare, rust-free M715 standard cargo bed complete with an original tailgate.

• Finding a straight, unmarred M715 tailgate is an extreme rarity in the military vehicle community today.

• This spare bed gives the new owner the ultimate flexibility: keep it as a highly valuable spare asset, use it to convert the truck back to its original configuration!

Condition & Documentation

The body panels are remarkably straight with minimal, superficial patina consistent with military storage. Floors, cab corners, and frame rails are solid. The interior is complete with factory instrumentation, original data plates, and military switchgear intact.

Terms of Sale

Asking $24,500 for the complete package (M724 Truck + Spare M715 Bed/Tailgate). I am highly motivated to sell these items together to avoid splitting the lot and am open to respectful offers from serious buyers.

Clear title in hand. Buyer is responsible for vehicle inspection and shipping/transport logistics, though I am happy to assist with loading the spare bed onto your trailer.

1964 Willys Wagon 230_OHC 2WD $2,750 Listed 2 weeks ago in New Market, TN

1964 Willys Wagon 2wd
$2,750
Listed 2 weeks ago in New Market, TN

This was listed as a ’62, I reached out to the seller to confirm a few things and its a ’64.

Has the later tail lights which are way cool, besides the 230 with the 2WD, I have one of these drivetrains it has a T-86 for the one I have. They are pretty neat.

This is a really neat Wagon.

Seller also has some other Willys that could go with this for additional cost.

“I’ve got an earlier 50s parts wagon too. Planar suspension and split windows. I just have too many projects. I’m willing to sell at a slight loss, in hopes that someone can get 1 or 2 back on the road.”

Overall asked for a pic of the Data Plate should be neat to see the SN on this one and see how late it is.

The official “Maverick” name ended after the show ended, but the Trim Package and other things continued past that point. These 2WD units were fairly up ticked in some of the interior finishes.

This was one of Andy’s Picks that I have hijacked!!! Thanks, Andy.

Also this is kinda of a milestone of sorts for me it’s the Ad #2000 for me, which is pretty cool in of itself. Thanks to everyone who has supported the site!!! Thanks, Tim

The 2BBL Intake was off a Wagon Truck possible. Besides that pretty bare here, but its fun to see them!

Would still like the numbers off the block and SN just because you never know what’s here.

Two ads for this rig, just the engine, then the whole rig.

INFORMATION FROM SELLER:

This Jeep tornado engine is in a 1963 gladiator truck. I am selling it only as a core because when I found this truck in a barn in California it had been sitting in that shack for 40 years and as you can see in the pictures the hood was removed and I’m sure water got in there. So it’s just the parts engine. I’m sure hard to come by but still I have no idea what the condition is. $400 you come pull it out

SECOND AD: 5/29/2026

This was a rare barn find indeed, one of the first Jeep pickups, although they kept that body style up through the late seventies. It was pretty sad when we found it flat tires all around and it’s been sitting for 40 years. So we got some good rolling stock on it, and it has an Arizona title. The steering wheel seems to be locked up so it can’t turn, no radiator, it has the original tornado 230 6 cylinder engine unknown history on that. It has a three speed on the column but they tried to convert it to the floor and it looks like they had problems with linkage. But it’s in neutral so that’s good. I crawled underneath everything’s there all the drive lines everything’s there. And this has the smallest back window you don’t see that much. Floorboards are rusted out you’ll have to put new ones in but other than that it’s decent. It’s a project that’s for sure it needs a lot of love, but we’re letting it go pretty cheap $2600 cash and it’s your project. Might consider a trade for a tractor with a loader bucket on it.

Willys 230_OHC Tornado Powertrain
$850 OBO Clinton MS

230 Up for grabs, early ’62 it says, would need some numbers off the unit to confirm. Some of these early ones are in need of some upticks. Recently I was able to compile all of the TSB that we gathered for the 230 into a nice document it was a really fun project getting those refreshed into a new format. It’s up on OWF you can search the tag 230_OHC and you will see most of my stuff over there related to the Tornado, so many knowledgeable folks over there have shared a ton of stuff with me very thankful.

I have too many of these around 12 or 13, so there is some value here, it does retain the original Air Cleaner, I had so many of those I was able to actually pay it forward and donate one to a really cool build. Then found homes for the rest, I have enough for my driving rigs.

But this actually retains the original bracket those I have never had an original but Tim out in CA was nice to hand make one for me from his and have that.

There are some very specific code words you will need to learn to get access to this one.

INFORMATION FROM SELLER:

Jeep 230 Tornado engine with 3 speed transmission and rebuilt Dana 18 transfer case pulled from a 1962 Willys Wagon.

Running when removed. Has a rebuilt Holley 2-barrel carburetor. Compression is good on all cylinders except one (has been sitting 20+ years). Fair condition overall — good core for rebuild or project.

Before replying, please read this:

I’m getting lots of fake/bot messages on here lately. To show you’re a real local buyer:

1. Tell me specifically what you plan to use it for (jeep project, parts, rebuild, etc.).

2. Include the code phrase “Clinton Tornado guy” at the end of your message.

3. Mention when you could come pick it up (I’m usually free weekends).

I will ignore “Is it still available?”, short replies, or anyone who jumps straight to asking for my phone/email without answering the above.

Local cash buyers only in the Clinton area. No shipping, no trades, no out-of-state deals. Price is $600 firm but open to reasonable offers from serious folks.

More pics available upon real inquiry. Come check it out in person.

Thanks,

Willys 230_OHC 6 Tornado
$750 Pleasantville, IA
Appears to be Feb-3 1964 on the block casting of this one. Should be some room here on the price, but its worth exaclty what a person is going to pay. Looks like it’s a Wagoneer or J-Truck, 1BBL Intake and ’64 Casting. Not M-715 for sure. I fully believe it could be in a Wagon.
INFORMATION FROM SELLER:
I purchased this very clean and overall great condition 1960s Jeep Willys 230 OHC 6 cylinder from a very clean Willy’s Wagon to use in a previous project. Ended up selling my Station Wagon and have this left over. Engines free, looks really clean inside and out. Have no use for it anymore. I’m positive with a carb kit and a few gaskets would run flawlessly. No Trades. Thank you.

1968 Jeep Kaiser M-725 $8,500 Wilbraham, MA

Love the look of the M-715 and M-725, it just has that GI Joe kids toy kind of rough and tough feel. This being a County rig is very cool. Wonder what the history of this one was.

This should have a later 230 Tornado that has a bunch of upgrades to it if it is a ’68, and with low miles might be a good little power plant.

Driveability, these were not designed for highway use, but they are cool rigs. You see most of the time the 230 needs to go away and maybe a 6BT is tossed in its place. Which is a cool engine but the Tornado is a neat just very niche and not for everyone.

If you buy it and swap out the 230, hit me up happy to add the engine to the collection.

Information from seller:

original 12,900 miles jeep 725 super solid sat in garage it’s whole life runs and drives 8500$ brand new michelin tires about 39” tires 12900 original miles.
