somebody gets big bucks to rest-o-mod them

I always thought the old Willys pickups were cool. Maybe a profitable investment, too...

You need to bid on building their front springs.

Maybe you could get a discount on one.

Back in the early '80s a hunting pard had an old 4x4 Willy's wagon renewed and upgraded...it was nice but not as nice as the PW but I'm certain that he only had a fraction of the $$$ in his...even with inflation.
Way too nice of vehicles for me to beat around in.

Thanks for posting that. I always wanted one but it's not been in the cards.

I'm working in Dubois WY right now and saw a Legacy PW go through town about an hour ago. It was spectacular, a real piece of industrial art. Rates right up there with a restored WWII aircraft IMO.

Stop by the repair garage and go buy that 77 suburban with 25k miles on it so I don't have to go back and get it. Plus the guy that is selling it is pretty cool.

You mean that calf [bleep] yellow GMc in front of bulls Conoco? Did you look under it? I seriously doubt that it has 25k on it, maybe 125k. Wouldn't you rather have the Willy's in front of the Honda shop?

Somebody selling a used one for only $77,000. That's almost getting affordable considering the price of a new King Ranch...

Have one similar, a 1990 GM, just down the road for $65,000 including the 18k ton winch. Looks functional as hell as long as the roads are wide enough.

Years ago I was in the Nat Guard. One time at summer camp, some guys got in a climbing contest with a 1/4 ton, a 3/4 ton, and a 2 1/2. With all those tires on the ground and the great clearance, the 2.5 put the others to shame.
