This Willys Jeep Wagon got away, but there are more like it here.

289-Powered 1955 Willys Station Wagon

Bid to $11,750 on 9/19/22

This 1955 Willys station wagon has been refinished in a tri-tone woodie-style color scheme of blue, brown, and tan and is powered by a 289ci Ford V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. Features include 15″ steel wheels, a two-piece windshield, a split tailgate, power-assisted steering, an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and manifold, and power front disc brakes. The truck was acquired by the seller out of Arizona in 2005, after which the engine and transmission were reportedly rebuilt. This 1955 Willys wagon is now offered with removed factory parts and a clean California registration in the seller’s name.

The truck was repainted in a tri-tone woodie-style color scheme circa 2007, and the seller states that Willys Pacific Blue, Mahogany Brown, and Clear Maple were used. Features include a two-piece windshield, a split tailgate, and chrome bumpers and trim. The seller notes paint chips and rust on the body near the bottoms of the tailgate. A dent is present in the lower cross bar near the grille, and the windshield wipers have been removed.

Steel 15″ wheels are painted silver and are mounted with 30×9.50″ Falken Landair H/T tires. The truck is equipped with power steering and power-assisted front disc brakes.

The cabin features a split-bench front seat trimmed in brown vinyl along with tan door panels and carpets. Additional equipment includes a heater, a floor-mounted shifter, an aftermarket push-button radio, a turn-signal switch, and crank-operated windows. The door panels show deterioration, and the carpets are stained.

A white two-spoke steering wheel fronts an 80-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. Aftermarket gauges for oil pressure, voltage, and coolant temperature have been added beneath the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 23k miles, and approximately 3k were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.

The replacement 289ci Ford V8 was installed under previous ownership and features a four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor, an Edelbrock aluminum manifold, and a chrome air cleaner. An electric cooling fan has been added, and the oil was changed in preparation for sale.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The transmission was reportedly rebuilt during previous ownership. The four-wheel drive system has been disabled.

Factory literature is included in the sale, together with one of the removed factory sun visors.
