Hello, I'm new to the forum, I just bought a 1953 Willys wagon. It is a bit tired, I'm going to need to do a lot of work. Someone put a Pontiac 355 in it at some point, with a custom bell housing. The guy I bought it from told me "the engine turns over, just won't start". So I'll have a lot of fun seeing if I can get it going without a rebuild. That is the green one. I also bought another one, no engine no title, that is completely full of parts. I'm not even sure of everything that is in it, I'm buying it cheap sight unseen. I'm told it has a rear tailgate with no rust, 2 good straight doors, extra fenders, 3 sets of bumpers, including one with "beauty bars", and a v prow front end with the "rare" 5 bar grill. Now I just need to buy the tools to restore it. I'm in the Kansas City Mo area.
