Being a retired Ford Engineer with 49 years experience I have to say yous build these cars to perfection. Keep it up! I would love to worl for a company like your company.
No translucent sunglasses this time; Mr. Ward your company is the best, if my ship ever comes in expect a call from me. Your creations are works of art!
I love it when the only over the top bling in your videos is the watch you wear! Seriously, 4x4 Willys in truck, wagon, and delivery panel, as you re-imagine my dreams to reality! Your excellence has no metric to compare - floats my boat!
My dad purchased a used Willys Overland about 1958 I think it was a 1952, it was a 6 volt battery and he never changed it out it always smelled little of gasoline and horse hair with 3 speed on the column and mom and dad repainted it in a white and light green with brushes. It ran and rattled like a can of spray paint for a number of years until he sold it maybe 1963. I wish I had it, you would have another project. I drove may dads last truck from 1972 until 1976 an old forest service 1958 step side F100, it got me there! Now I have a F150 Lariat stealth 4X4 crew keeping it stock for now but LED Lights are in it future. Thank you for the mammies, I mean memories, That's my story
Words fail me. The best. The ingenuity your shop builds into your work is on a level that I cannot imagine. You somehow made a car out of a farm wagon. My dads friend had one of these when I was growing up, it was a heap, which had been owned by NCDOT and used to paint lines on 2 lane roads. I cannot recall the year model, but early fifties. I loved it. Please keep the videos coming.
My first driver was a 1960 Willys 2WD “Station Sedan”. Had the 4 cyl. F-head engine, “3 on the tree” with electric overdrive. Very simple to work on, economical to drive, and very reliable. I surely miss it.
All of your builds are among the best I've ever seen. I love your attention to detail and design, they're perfect. Someday, if I win the lottery, I'll roll up to your shop in a clapped-out Fury and see what you can do.
awesome truck!!!!!!!!..,, i got one in my back yard slowly working on it,..yours is beautiful, unfortunaley broke my hearth when mentioned all the foreign undercarriage and combustion machine, not within willys family....too bad only the body remains of a precious willys.
Intelligent class act. Perfect power and sound. There is nothing I would change. I'd love to drive it cross country with a good tent and bag stashed in back. I'd put it too work yet in a pleasurable way. Perfect!
Man, I just love the work you guys/gals are doing. I have 25 bucks till payday next week, so, i will probably never afford one, but, the philosophy behind what your doing makes so much sense and is extremely exciting. Thanks for being there! God Bless! Curt (Bloomington, Indiana)
The Willys is among my favorite of the older generation, dare I say, SUVs and trucks. I love the attention to detail ICON does to every vehicle. This is no exception. Man, I wanna drive it. It's got a stick too. Keep up the excellent work. Oh yeah, the fuel cap is fine.
My "Aunt Rosemary's car" ...favorite Aunt ...very eccentric but never forgot me at Easter and Christmas. Had a maroon and white Willys Wagon, same vintage. Come on powerball.
Awesome WIllys wagon Derelict. Reminds me of that sweet Jeepster you guys did a few years back. Nice work. That version of the Willys wagon (the 2wd Maverick with the chrome side rockets, column shift, and mesh speedo surround) is quite rare. Glad to see so much of it was kept. Amazing work. Look forward to your next projects, hopefully some more of the 1946-1965 Willys wagons and trucks.
You know you've got a good product when it is it's own best advertising. Mr. Ward has to do nothing to sell these vehicles other than show them as they are. Brilliant!
I live in North America's 'rust belt' and when I heard you say this Willys would see some snow and slush all I could do is think 'salt bath' and 'rust' and it made me cringe. If this was mine, it would never see salty roads. Never! Very nicely done.
Damn man! This is what I love when comes to tuning. Leaving car as stock as possible outside but changing drivetrain and putting some awesome engine in. And that stealth AC is masterpiece.
Great story! Makes the process as interesting as the result. I have a dream of finding my Grandpa's 72 International Travelall, and make that a fun towing 4X4 vehicle.
I like it and the fuel cap looks fine. I hope to see a Studebaker Lark Derelict done by you and your team. The Studebaker Lark is one of my favourites.
My father had a Studebaker Lark back in the day - early 60's? It was the 2nd Studebaker he bought... the first one was probably a Champion... four doors because he had 7 kids. Dim memories by now sad to say.
I've been waiting for this one, great job, love it. As far as the gas cap I would love to see a cap that mimics the hub caps. Thanks for sharing the Willys Overland!.
When I was about 10 years old, my dad's friend had a 1940(S) Willys 2-door station wagon with the "Go Devil" flathead 4cyl. 3 on the tree. This chestnut brown Jeep wagon had a "wicker applique" on the upper part of the doors ending at the rear panels.
I like the black fuel cap for the reasons you mentioned. That body is enjoying the attention best to not detract from it even in the slightest. Thanks for the video.
Another beautiful originally nal has been basturdized. So few originals left. There is something special about to whole original experience including the bad stuff of design. I have a 52 wagon. love it...I have had 8 jeepster 48-52 and many cj,s and such. this is my only wagon...lov it!
I thought an FJ55-based Icon build was my 'unicorn' until this! impressive and subtle at the same time, quite a showcase of Icon's talents and resources
Little things like the plastic fuel cap, original hub caps and original paint really give this build a beautiful patina. I'm not much of an American auto nerd but I would have not have noticed half of the restorative mods on this, very stealthy.
I think the gas cap is fine but everything can be upgraded. If you change it id make it look a lot like the shifter knob I really like that. By the way you should get some sponsors together & do a giveaway. I know theirs a lot of people that'd love to have an ICON & can't afford one. Great job as always. Love your attention to detail.
BTW, Brooks Stevens was the Willys designer. He penned the wagon, truck, Wagoneer and several other Willys/Jeeps. He also designed the cowlings on my other favorite mid fifties collectibles, Johnson and Evinrude outboards.
I have been eagerly waiting for this one! The fuel cap looks plastic. Looks good, but I think the feel might be nicer if it was machined aluminum then powder coated black. Very nice wagon overall, it's nice to see some more relaxed derelict builds after being blown away by the new crazy cool ICON FJ builds you are doing.
Wow, just wow! So much re-use of original (headliner, hubcaps, shift indicator, guage artwork) with all the patina of use wrapped-up in a tight (no doubt, rattle-free) package! Love your work, thanks for sharing! Since you asked about the fuel filler cap, the plastic feels slightly out-of-place IMHO. Like something that got added at-need in the 80's. Maybe a cap modelled after the hubcaps (metal, worn chrome) would feel more at home here? Regardless, what an amazing build!
It was also good for storing the families cars. My aunts 68 E-type, 71 Travellall, 71 Mach I, 54 Continental, 77 Lincoln Towncar....and a bunch of other cools cars and trucks.
Love the Willys Overland. It looks nice and pretty original appearing. In 1972 my first car when I was 16 was a 1962 Willys Utility Wagon. The gas cap should be chrome. I would much rather have a spare tire rather than a couple of cans of flat fix. Mine had the 226 Super Hurricane flathead 6 cylinder.
I'd truly want to have a '67 Rolls Phantom 5 with 1000 hp min., a huge fuel tank, a boatload of torque and the most luxury additions ever thought of. Also would need BP glass and light armoured composites all around. Also .303 auto-gun mounts in all fenders. Restomod. I reckon it would want to come in at around $700,000. My tastes are very simple. I like the best. That's why I would send ICON my custom.
I love it. The only thing that "irks" me as you put it is that modern fridge in the back. Doing an old metal "re-skin" of the fridge to look similar to coolers from that era would have (looks up phrases from that era) been the bees knees.
Being a retired Ford Engineer with 49 years experience I have to say yous build these cars to perfection. Keep it up! I would love to worl for a company like your company.

I'm pretty sure that's the best build you've ever done, just the right amount of everything in it but oh so subtle.
Words fail me. The best. The ingenuity your shop builds into your work is on a level that I cannot imagine. You somehow made a car out of a farm wagon. My dads friend had one of these when I was growing up, it was a heap, which had been owned by NCDOT and used to paint lines on 2 lane roads. I cannot recall the year model, but early fifties.

Thumbs up for the car fridge! Applause.
I cannot believe the condition this thing was in before you started!
What a gem!

Every new derelict becomes my favorite derelict. The wheels/tire combo really changes the look of it to me in a good way.
Totally love everything done on this build including the shifter. I hope to see many more projects like this. Great Job Gentlemen!
Terry Thomas drove one of these in the screen classic "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World".
One of the funniest movies ever...
One of the best Movies I ever Watched so Funny and a Clean Movie.
Mr. Ward, thank you as always for taking the time to record and edit these fine videos.
awesome truck!!!!!!!!..,, i got one in my back yard slowly working on it,..yours is beautiful, unfortunaley broke my hearth when mentioned all the foreign undercarriage and combustion machine, not within willys family....too bad only the body remains of a precious willys.
Got one also with flat head Hurricane 6 with 3 on the tree mint shape nothing like all original 1961
Intelligent class act. Perfect power and sound. There is nothing I would change. I'd love to drive it cross country with a good tent and bag stashed in back. I'd put it too work yet in a pleasurable way. Perfect!
Man, I just love the work you guys/gals are doing. I have 25 bucks till payday next week, so, i will probably never afford one, but, the philosophy behind what your doing makes so much sense and is extremely exciting. Thanks for being there! God Bless! Curt (Bloomington, Indiana)
Thank you Mr. Ward for helping to keep the old iron on the road. Don"t worry about the gas cap, it works. Lol.
The Willys is among my favorite of the older generation, dare I say, SUVs and trucks. I love the attention to detail ICON does to every vehicle. This is no exception. Man, I wanna drive it. It's got a stick too. Keep up the excellent work. Oh yeah, the fuel cap is fine.

I HAVE A 1961MINT CON 48000 ORG MILES IF INTRESTED PLEASE LET ME KNOW
@@christophercaetano6305 Hi Chris. You should post it over on ewillys.com (for free). Great site.
Your team and yourself, as usual, perfection. Well done guy's, pure ICON.
You know you've got a good product when it is it's own best advertising. Mr. Ward has to do nothing to sell these vehicles other than show them as they are. Brilliant!
I live in North America's 'rust belt' and when I heard you say this Willys would see some snow and slush all I could do is think 'salt bath' and 'rust' and it made me cringe. If this was mine, it would never see salty roads. Never! Very nicely done.
As usual, I’m envious. True quality.
SUPERB work as always. Looking forward to the next project
I like it, you preserved the simplicity of the original, great truck.
Do you not build a great build? Ever? They're all so perfect.
Beautiful build. Nicely done sir.
Damn man! This is what I love when comes to tuning. Leaving car as stock as possible outside but changing drivetrain and putting some awesome engine in. And that stealth AC is masterpiece.
Your builds are inspirational. Thanks for posting them.
Excellent work with so much respect for details and design!
Fantastic! This is the Grandaddy to my 1977 Cherokee. Luv these vids!
Great build. I love the Willys Overlands
Very Nice! We had a very nice '62 2 Door Wagon bought used from a Uncle back in 1969. Hurricane straight six. Loved that Willy's.
Great story! Makes the process as interesting as the result. I have a dream of finding my Grandpa's 72 International Travelall, and make that a fun towing 4X4 vehicle.

I love the engine, engine bay on this one. Great build as always.
I've been waiting for this one, great job, love it. As far as the gas cap I would love to see a cap that mimics the hub caps. Thanks for sharing the Willys Overland!.
your work is tremendous.

Man, I don't think there's a vehicle you guys have built I don't love. Hat's off on another homerun.
I like the black fuel cap for the reasons you mentioned. That body is enjoying the attention best to not detract from it even in the slightest. Thanks for the video.
I am surprised they did not recess it and make a proper body-colored door. It looks like a big black zit the way they left it.
Awesome build! Been excitedly waiting for this Willys and you've done it a again! Great job!
GEEK talk is awesome , I love it
Awesome build, that was an amazing craigslist find!
Beautiful! I have a 1949 Wagon
Thanks for sharing your handy work.
Mike

Man I need to send you guys my late granddad's old El Camino!
Really nicely done!
I love it....you guys build the coolest stuff
Your client got a terrific build.

Fantastic build, leave the gas cap, very clever with the wheels... it's perfect.
What a work of art. Pretty fast too.
very very cool I have a neighbor that has one of those in a barn that I've tried to talk him out of for years .i love them also keep up the great work
sounds so tame! Great job!
Here 2019! Still one of my faves. Had to watch again

Always a pleasure because it's always top shelf

Love your work 🙏👍
JUST AWESOME SPEACHLESS WITH EVERY ICON PRODUCT
That's just perfect well done guys

Very nice wagon overall, it's nice to see some more relaxed derelict builds after being blown away by the new crazy cool ICON FJ builds you are doing.
Beautiful. I've been wanting to do one of these forever, but as a chopped/lowered surf wagon-eer. Lol
i love everything ICON does but i think the derelicts are my favorite. so slick...!
Just love this Willys!
UNCLEDOUG HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA BOONE I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS !!
I absolutely love this build .the way you did the derelict Style.,if you can really call it a , derelict, really is awesome . FINS UP AGAIN :) 👍 👍
Williy W I L LY 's WILLEES. Very well done. If this was in the N.E. the floors would have been gone
Very nice... Rocking the Portuguese Suit! Ballsy fashion move :)
Awesome again - as Dollmaster Dorian always says: This one turns out nicely! :)

one of my favorite trucks excelent job very nice
Terrific build........

Love the quiet exhaust!
What a cool history.
"If you put your foot into it, it wakes up a little bit." hahahaha, yeah - a little. great work and great video!
Oh wow. Sweet Maverick Willys!
Wow, just wow! So much re-use of original (headliner, hubcaps, shift indicator, guage artwork) with all the patina of use wrapped-up in a tight (no doubt, rattle-free) package! Love your work, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for pronouncing Willys correctly
I was just thinking how he sounded like a goon pronouncing it that way.
Dear Lord that's beautiful!
It was also good for storing the families cars. My aunts 68 E-type, 71 Travellall, 71 Mach I, 54 Continental, 77 Lincoln Towncar....and a bunch of other cools cars and trucks.
I was completely distracted by the rattling in the vehicle. Very surprised you did not address this.
Love the Willys Overland. It looks nice and pretty original appearing. In 1972 my first car when I was 16 was a 1962 Willys Utility Wagon. The gas cap should be chrome.

Nice job, very nice.
Great, you even kept the original rattles !!! Jay
Wow! I want one. Super cool.
Perfect camping fishing vehicle
I love it Jonathan .
Gorgeous- “Willis” is the correct pronunciation. It’s morphed into “Willies” over the years.
I love it. The only thing that "irks" me as you put it is that modern fridge in the back.
Doing an old metal "re-skin" of the fridge to look similar to coolers from that era would have (looks up phrases from that era) been the bees knees.
love your work
Awsome! I would like to see you do a Willys truck of the same body style
Jonathan, I just saw this today on Craigslist here in Atlanta, not in the greatest of shape but.....
if you dig around, you can find some pickups in Brazil (they were called F75 down there)
Sounds a little like the camp my Moms family ran in Brewster, N.Y. Camp Cummimgs. They kept the camp vehicles in the dinning hall too.
