UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This “Go-anywhere,” “Tough-job traction” truck is on the market here for the first time in over 20 years. Originally purchased from a glass co. in OHIO by the current owner. He has done a complete frame off restoration as you can plainly see in the photos. Introduced in 1957 the Jeep Willys FC-170 was wider and carried a heavier load than the FC-150. It has a Kaiser 6-226 motor inline 6 that is good on gas. You won’t get stuck with high/low option 4WD and LT235/85R16 tires.
The bed is made of appatong wood said to be 5 times harder than oak for those heavy loads. The truck has a 7,000 lb. GVW, a 103″ wheelbase with a 108″ bed. The Cab-over design is very unique. There were approximately 2,000 FC-170’s built in ’61. You will be guaranteed to be the hit of the car shows…”
Wow! that is a nice one!…I wonder if it will meet reserve on e-bay?
Mitch…my guess is no it won’t sell. Although very nice, not many of us have that kind of cash laying around…specially with this currant administration. The owner probably needs to sell it for health care or what-ever…If I have that kind of money….there are at least 6 jeeps/willys here I could buy and enjoy.
