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!
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!
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.
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 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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
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 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
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.
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.
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.
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'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!.
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
Incredible truck! The only thing lacking were epaulets on the military inspired denim jacket. I've noticed a merging of fashionable apparel with particularity to the vehicle under review. Great video.
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 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
Love it I do think on a lot of builds you tend to go over the top and it ends up looking like a new toy for some rich guy but this one you got it rite I would have gone with four wheel drive but apart from that I cannot fault it even has the rite wheels on it keep up the good work.
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!
The fuel cap does look fine as is. If you did machine one special, I'd do it body-colour at least so it wouldn't stand out too much more than the plastic one does. A body-coloured flip-open lid might actually be pretty cool.
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 love it when the only over the top bling in your videos is the watch you wear!

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.
Totally love everything done on this build including the shifter. I hope to see many more projects like this. Great Job Gentlemen!

Mr. Ward, thank you as always for taking the time to record and edit these fine videos.
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.
Beautiful build. Nicely done sir.
UNCLEDOUG HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA BOONE I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS !!
I cannot believe the condition this thing was in before you started!
What a gem!
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
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.
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.
Thank you, you are a inspiration to my willys build
Beautiful! I have a 1949 Wagon

Your team and yourself, as usual, perfection. Well done guy's, pure ICON.
SUPERB work as always. Looking forward to the next project

Thumbs up for the car fridge! Applause.
Really nicely done!

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, you preserved the simplicity of the original, great truck.
Excellent work with so much respect for details and design!
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.
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'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!.
I love it Jonathan .
Great build. I love the Willys Overlands
Williy W I L LY 's WILLEES. Very well done. If this was in the N.E. the floors would have been gone
Awesome build, that was an amazing craigslist find!
I love it....you guys build the coolest stuff
As usual, I’m envious. True quality.
Every new derelict becomes my favorite derelict. The wheels/tire combo really changes the look of it to me in a good way.
Thanks for sharing your handy work.
Mike
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
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!

I love the engine, engine bay on this one. Great build as always.
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.
your work is tremendous.
Awesome build! Been excitedly waiting for this Willys and you've done it a again! Great job!
Thank you Mr. Ward for helping to keep the old iron on the road. Don"t worry about the gas cap, it works. Lol.
Love your work 🙏👍
sounds so tame! Great job!
Man, I don't think there's a vehicle you guys have built I don't love. Hat's off on another homerun.
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.
Man I need to send you guys my late granddad's old El Camino!
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!
Very nice... Rocking the Portuguese Suit! Ballsy fashion move :)
Fantastic build, leave the gas cap, very clever with the wheels... it's perfect.
Your client got a terrific build.
Nice truck.
That's just perfect well done guys
Nice job, very nice.
Awesome again - as Dollmaster Dorian always says: This one turns out nicely! :)
Beautiful. I've been wanting to do one of these forever, but as a chopped/lowered surf wagon-eer. Lol
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.
What a work of art. Pretty fast too.
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!
one of my favorite trucks excelent job very nice
"If you put your foot into it, it wakes up a little bit." hahahaha, yeah - a little. great work and great video!
GEEK talk is awesome , I love it
Incredible truck! The only thing lacking were epaulets on the military inspired denim jacket. I've noticed a merging of fashionable apparel with particularity to the vehicle under review. Great video.
Do you not build a great build? Ever? They're all so perfect.
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 :) 👍 👍
Thank you for pronouncing Willys correctly
I was just thinking how he sounded like a goon pronouncing it that way.
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.
Here 2019! Still one of my faves. Had to watch again
✌️👏🇧🇷🇧🇷, Link :ua-cam.com/video/X69Lw3FviTw/v-deo.html
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
Just love this Willys!
JUST AWESOME SPEACHLESS WITH EVERY ICON PRODUCT
Love it I do think on a lot of builds you tend to go over the top and it ends up looking like a new toy for some rich guy but this one you got it rite I would have gone with four wheel drive but apart from that I cannot fault it even has the rite wheels on it keep up the good work.
i love everything ICON does but i think the derelicts are my favorite. so slick...!
love your work
Very nice video I know petrol Jeep my father was driving in 1963 villeis Jeep I like Jeep my father was old driver
Great, you even kept the original rattles !!! Jay
Perfect camping fishing vehicle
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!

What a cool history.
Always a pleasure because it's always top shelf
lovely creation.
Wow! I want one. Super cool.
what a beautiful car i absolutely adore it
That is just too cool.
The fuel cap does look fine as is. If you did machine one special, I'd do it body-colour at least so it wouldn't stand out too much more than the plastic one does. A body-coloured flip-open lid might actually be pretty cool.
Terrific build........
A not so derelict Derelict! With an awesome life story!
love it,why the rattling,just curious,i wish some body will manufacture this vehicles again,thanks for sharing .
Love the quiet exhaust!
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)
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.
