Runs and drives.
“1957 Willy’s wagon, 4X4, 4spd manual transmission, flat head 4 cylinder engine. Body is in great shape with no major rust issues, no holes missing parts or cheap replacement panels found. Frame is solid and straight. Interior has been completely redone about 5 years ago and looks great. New wiring harness throughout entire wagon. All glass replaced around the same time as interior. New wheel cylinders, brakes, and spring kits. Engine runs smooth with no noises. Transfer case and hubs work as they should. Trans has a bad synchro in 2nd gear, you can still drive just pops out of 2nd when you let off of the gas. Has stump pulling granny gear transfer case gearing. No noises or rattling from the rears. All around solid wagon for someone to completely restore or drive as is. Asking $6,000.00 for the Willy’s which is below collector market value for the current condition. You would be hard pressed to find a classic in as good of condition as this one for the same money! Must see in person, give me a call so we can arrange a time,”

Hmm, let’s call it a 51 π
Suspect somebody told him it was a F-head and he translated that to mean a flathead. Yeah, I think it is probably a 50-51 vintage, not a 57.
The grille says 1954 or older.
No way it’s a 4-speed trans. The statement that it pops out of 2nd gear clinches it. It’s a T-90. That’s the first and most common problem with the T-90.
And yeah, it’s most likely an F-134 not an L-134.
Other than that, looks good. Though I’d have a really hard time giving $6,000 for it. If it actually were a ’57 with the 6-226 then maybe.
Thanks guys!
