"Ol Ferrous"     1956 Willys Wagon

Introduction / Overview:

Ebay find, had been sitting in a field in NW Minnesota for about 15 years. Considerable tin-worm and a frozen 260 cid FORD also part of the package.

Undaunted, and full of hope it was hauled back to the Twin Cities and it's new home in my garage. 

 

One year and 364 days later it was driven for the first time in all of those years...if you're interested in seeing the rebuild please check out my www.flickr.com page by searching Flickr Members: Scottie32

Buick/Rover 215/3.5L V8
