Welcome to my auction. Up for bids is rare, very clean, low reserve 1950 Willys Overland Model 4-73 Station Wagon. It's equipped with 4 wheel drive with documented Georgia registration up until 1999 (paperwork included with sale). It's history includes being part of a private collection of 24 Willys. It was painted in August of this year a custom PPG Blue color. The auction winner should buff and polish to complete the job. There's no rust on this Southern Willys. The engine was converted to a 1965 283 Chevy V8 with 12 volt electrical (by the previous owner) including new dual exhaust system. True miles unknown (odometer shows 4131, the Title shows 58463, and not sure how many miles are on the engine). Based on the solid body and nice overall condition, it is possible that the Title is correct. Engine runs strong, with no smoke, no odd noises, and still retains its original 3 speed standard transmission and 4 wheel drive transfer case, all mechanicals in good solid working condition. This Willys is not perfect, but is a good running and driving restoration project. It has the Willys rims with brand new period correct deep lug Tires, good brakes. The following tune up items were just completed; points, plugs, rotor, plug wires, oil and oil filter and fresh valve cover gaskets. Headlights and front turn signals work correctly. For this year Willys, the rear seats fold and the rear doors split open up and down. The wood floor strips are in great condition. The following items will require work; turn signal switch replacement (I have a similiar age universal unit to go with the car), headliner is missing, rear tail lights require wiring work,(they are standard universal units), Dash guages are not functioning, drivers window is cracked, however I have a complete door with glass which goes with the car. It will need some window weatherstripping. See photo of additional parts that go with this auction. The present original transmission this vehicle tops out at about 55 to 60 MPH.

Payment must be via bank check or cash within 3 days of auction end, and pickup within 2 weeks of auction end. Selling As-Is and Where-Is. Clean and clear Massachusetts Title in owners name (a friend of mine). Chips Transportation in nearby Walpole, MA is a good company should you wish to transport to your location.
