Always garaged $16,500 OBO In July of 2011, this vehicle was given an excellent bill of health by the renowned and reputable Zip Auto here in Missoula. The only issue they found was the air control rod appeared to be stuck. I imagine this is a pretty easy repair. Compression ratio was perfect on all 6 cylinders. This one is a rare find indeed. You'll be hard pressed to find another one of these that has been garaged it's entire life. Yes this was garaged always when not in use. My grandfather purchased this vehicle new and used it for hunting and exploring Montana during the late 50's, 60's and 70's. This Willys Jeep Wagon was used rarely, adult driven it's entire life and maintained with the utmost attention and care. Since the late 70's, this vehicle was started nearly every summer, brought to operating temperature and driven around the neighbor hood a bit. I believe it was 1985 that my grandfather had a fair amount of work done on this vehicle. He had the engine pulled, cleaned, new seals everywhere, prepped and painted. The body and interior were completely prepped/repainted and the upholstery was redone that same year. The exhaust system was also replaced around the same time. Every ounce of chrome on this looks like a mirror. The exhaust tip is still nice and chromed. The rubber seals all look near new as well. Basically it looks, sounds, smells like new and doesn't leak any fluid. Talk about sound, it also has a dual or triple horn that is quite loud. Rear passenger windows slide back half way. 45,588 Original miles (adult driven). This jeep wasn't used that often. Body is in very solid condition inside and out. Repainted in 1985. New upholstery in 1985. New engine seals and engine paint in 1985 "L6-226 Super Hurricane" 226 CID (3.7 L) in-line 6 cylinder, great low RPM torque. Borg-Warner T-90 Manual 3 speed transmission 4x4,Spicer/Dana 18 transfer case, nice two lever action Dana 53 rear, Dana 25 front axel. Low gear ratio, with the 6-cylinder engines, it was 4.88:1 standard or the optional 5.38:1 (not sure which this is, it goes pretty slow). Newer exhaust system (1985), still has a shiny chrome exhaust tip. Sounds nice and quiet. Tires look new even though they are the old original nylon style of tire. All the work that has ever been done on this vehicle was done by a professional. New battery. Runs smooth, starts every time. Doesn't burn oil. I know I'm going to kick myself for selling this one day. I have more pictures and documentation I can send to you including a lot of pictures of the underside.
