1959 Willys Wagon 6-226 former US Forest Service Vehicle Great Smoky Mountains National Park

Description

1959 Willys Jeep Station Wagon, note: no title. BILL OF SALE ONLY.

But, again, it is BILL OF SALE ONLY, No TITLE.

The legend, verbal only, was that this had been bought at a government surplus auction and this wagon had belonged to the US Forest Service in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

The fact is it does have a brass government plate on the dash.

Original 6-226 Continental Six cylinder engine, might run, original 3 speed transmission. Original part time 4WD. Rear step bumper, manual carb choke (which were US government specs). No chrome on this edition, again, government specs.

Lots of rust to go around. See photos. Let me state again, lots of surface rust, rust outs, rust through. Where some trim is removed, the original Forest Service aqua green color is visible.

It needs everything. But everything is available for it from current vendors. Replacement left and right body panels
included. A floor patch panel included.

Not Running. I have yard driven it some over the years, but not recently.

Great to do a restoration on a noteworthy original piece of history. Long term garaged, but in the yard now.

Has good tread on tires.

For sale, as is, where is, no warranty and no transport provided.

NOTE: COMES WITH TWO REPLACEMENT REAR QUARTER PANELS, ONE LEFT, ONE RIGHT, WORTH $375 each.

Includes an original Shop Manual, worth $39, a reprint parts guide worth $69. This is real value to the buyer. A vendor parts manual and restoration guide worth $25 comes with it, too. All included to the buyer.

Recent value info guide says condition 6 worth 1550, condition 5 worth 4650. With parts and items included, well worth at least $2000.

Arrange to come and see if sincerely interested. Also, listed elsewhere and might sell from there first.

I will remove this when it is sold.
