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.

Looks like thy would work in the Big Bend.

Not in that business anymore, unfortunately. But yeah it oughta work in the desert, as long as it has good tires.

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.

This has been for sale local on Carig's list.
lots more pictures on the ad.

Great 5-ton 6X6 Hunters or survival Motor home RV, diesel, runs great

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.

That Power Wagon just broke my cool meter. Awesome American work!
