    Heck, they are all over the place. It depends on how far you are willing to go. Arizona, NM, Colorado seems to be loaded with them.

    I don't remember if any of our members have any.

    Good luck, I'm sure you'll find one.

    And :Welcome:

    All joking aside (ha-ha) Tbird is right, they are all over the place in California for sure. They never really took off as a resto project and it seem they are rusting in place in many backyard fields.

    I can think of a couple , a pickup and a wagon, available (probably cheep!!) in MY immediate area.

    Have you considered a local Craigslist "Wanted to Buy" listing??

    -----------Yep,wingnut is right.:clap:Even here in the NW Florida boonies I've seen several Willy's wagons...and probably Willys, if I looked closer, in yards and fields. :slap:As for perverts, I believe there are already a few of those here and on the site also.:naughty: At least we---:slap: ooops, THEY admit it!:banana: Another ooops!:Welcome:to the station wagon forum where we are all just normal human beings........Well maybe most of us!:taz:

    Wow. I am extremely disappointed.

    I thought this thread was going to be about something else. :)

    I remember when searching for a wagon, like a month ago, there were tons of search results for Willys wagons. Just don't google willys.

    Yes Ive been looking on Craigs list, in my area I almost had one but it was sold before I could look at it. I did try the NM, Arizona area and found a few....just don't know if I have the time to go that far. Thanks everyone for the help!

    Go here:
    http://www.allofcraigs.com/

    Then do your Willys search.
    I just made a comment in some unknown thread a while back that I was surprised at how many Willys wagons were for sale - in all states of condition. Lots with the orginal Hurricane 6, even.....
