The rims were previously on my '78 CJ-7 (they bolted directly on). While I did some detail work to this wagon and had plans to make it into a daily driver, after a few years I had to admit I had too many projects and just wouldn't get it finished for a long time. So, November of 1999 I sold the Willys, but at least it went to a lady who was very excited to get it, Shelley Schick in southern Oregon. She kept it for a decade. Early 2010 she sold it to Myron Carlson who reports that the 289 had blown up and was replaced with a 307. He's up to his elbows with replacing head gaskets, repairing scorched wiring, getting the brakes to work again, and attending to other delayed repair items. This is the guy I bought the wagon from and who did the body work on it, replacing the rusted sections, painting it, and dropping in the 289 Ford. He had it a decade and he clearly hated to see it go. I bought through a small car dealer in Ranier, WA, near Longview, and towed it back to Portland, OR. |
