UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
UPDATE: See Mike’s comments on the history of this wagon in the comments section. Per Mike’s suggestion, I googled BP gas station Broad St., Bloomfield, NJ. Here’s a pic of the front of the wagon:

“Craigslist, Super Hurricane Flat Head
6cyl. 12v alternator
I have this classic Jeep that I no longer need.. First come first serve.. selling as is *does not run/drive* This vehicle will need restoration.”
I remember this wagon when it was new, always parked up the block on East Third St. Clifton, NJ. The last time I saw it on the road was in the mid 1990’s, after that, just sat on the side of the BP Station @ the corner of Broad & Bay St. Bloomfield, NJ. Actually there were 2 wagons, this one green & white, and another one all green. At the time, there were two gas stations located at Broad & Bay that each had one wagon. At some point in time, one of the gas stations went out of business and the green one was bought by the owner of the Green & white wagon. Along the way, two became one with the all green wagon becoming a parts donor for the green & white one. (Note the all green tailgate)
If you google , BP gas station Broad St. Bloomfield, NJ, you can actually see the Willys wagon sitting on the side of the station. Near Bay St side. The last time I stopped in to see if it was for sale, the answer was, the owner will never sell it. Well, I guess every man has his price, but three thousand bucks is way too much for what I consider a parts Jeep. If you can strike a deal, and I think that’s good possibility, just make him an offer he can’t refuse.
Keep in mind, body very rusted and rotted. When I popped the hood 4 years ago, the hornets didn’t like me invading their privacy. Flathead six was complete, but I doubt if it turns after all those years sitting there. Being owned by a mechanic, I’m sure if he could get it running, he would.
Why am I rambling on like this, because of my life long connection to Willys Jeeps, so many of them still around that I remember from my childhood, kind of like my extended family. Now only if I could find my dad’s old Willys wagon, theirs still hope, “I’m not dead yet. (I say this in jest) That’s why I keep doing this, tracking life long histories of Jeep vehicles, keep me alive and feeling young.
Great history. Thanks!
Price on this wagon has dropped to $1000.00, hmm, will still go for what ever is offered.
Thanks Mike!
