The Willys Jeep Station Wagon is the first mass-market all-steel station wagon designed and built as a passenger vehicle. It was produced in the United States from 1946 to 1965. With over 300,000 wagons and its variants built in the U.S., it was one of Willys’ most successful post-World War II models. Its production coincided with consumers moving to the suburbs.

The Jeep Tornado engine was the first post-World War II U.S.-designed mass-produced overhead cam (OHC) automobile engine. The 230.5 CID straight-six was introduced in mid-year 1962 and replaced the flathead 6-226 Willys Super Hurricane that was used since 1954. Output was 140 hp at 4000 rpm and 210 lbs·ft of torque at 1750 rpm.

Current mileage on the odometer shows 35,116 miles. It is sold as is and on a clear and clean California title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!
