When I was 5 (1964) my dad bought a brand new Jeep Wagoneer. It was the first full production year after the Willys Utility Wagon. I fel in love with Jeeps then and there. In the '70's, I discovered the older Utility Wagons and that was love at first sight. I was smitten. By '86, I was already divorced so treated myself to a 1960 Willys Wagon. We were a pretty hot item together in SoCal and went everywhere together. Even when I moved to Utah. She was stolen in '99. I found a '59 in Colorado for sale and have plans for pwr steering and other things. I'm an old guy now, but only feel at home in a Willys. In all these years, I've NEVER seen two alike. People always, always, build them to their own specifications. They are very special, personal and unique transporters with a face only a mama (or papa!) could love! In their day, they certainly weren't the most valued, or expensive wagons on the market. But they have increasingly become more valuable with time. Your Willys was treated like an old friend and given a chance of an upgrade many of us can only day dream about. Thank you so much for sharing that dream fulfilled so we can see some of the possibilities available out there. It is just more validation of the old saying that, REAL Jeeps are built - not bought! God bless in a project that is always on-going!

We love our 51 Willys Panel mounted on a 92 4Runner with 3.0L running gear. Restomods are the way to go.

I just purchased a 1958 & a 1959 Willys Wagoner! The 59 is completely stock and the 58 has a 302 V8 , they both have rust in the floorboards but the rest of the body’s are solid! I watched your video and absolutely loved what you have done to your 58! Time to get to work! Thanks for the great video!

That Willy's is a thing of pure awesomeness !

[@rickdeyoung8886]

Nice overview of your Willys wagon ,I have a 49 4 wheel drive wagon that I’ve been driving for over 30 year’s and I love it ,it goes anywhere I want and is a blast to drive

I totally love the '58 Jeep. Just gorgeous and pure character. I think it rattles your ears out. That back door must truly make a racket.

[@Stryder-mc1lu]

Sweet you guys have saved a piece of automotive history, as well as creating an awesome vehicle , done to perfection !

Great Video of a Willys Overland upgrade. I am sure this was an expensive task to undertake but lets face it, its built to your specification and sometimes thats almost priceless. Thx for the vid.

Awesome willys wagon..stay safe stay fun👍

[@shaneoconnor115]

Awesome wagon. I’ve got a 53 bone stock. The engine is the F head 134 hurricane 74 horsepower but pretty decent torque. I do need to correct you on top speed though. Definitely not 40 mpg. It’ll cruise at 60 mph no problem. I have a warn overdrive in mine, and with no grade it can cruise at 70 mph. Stock jeeps of this era are way more capable than people think.

I have a '50 Jeep Delivery project out back just waiting to be Loved on!

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

I see you have lots of adventure videos

[@redriderj8]

In 37min we didn’t even get to hear you fire it up! Thank you for the walk-around. I’ll probably refer to this for elements in my own Willys overland wagon build. Especially the safety and ride comfort aspects.

This thing is perfect, I love the mix of modern with nostalgia. Hats off to you guys!!

[@sacredshogun6325]

I love it. All the right parts and still kept the nostalgia look. I got a 64 p-up truck but looking for a wagon.
