“Jeep Forward Control. Willys
FC170, with snowplow.
Runs and drives.
All there including the snowplow, brand new windshield and the manuals for maintenance etc.
See blog with photos of project for more photos and information.
This truck will require redtoration work, a new bed and other bodywork to finish depending on what direction u wan to go with it.
These are now getting super hard to find in even reasonable condition.
Dont ask me to come and look at it if you dont have cash and a trailer to take it home with you.
Price is firm due to the rare nature of this truck..”
The Guy’s name is MIKE, (204) 644-8313. Engine is shot, tran is barely working if working at all, corners have been messed with, frame has been altered, no bed just a frame that was poorly made to place a sheet of plywood on. Thinks he has a gold mine on his hands, wants $6750 in cash!
Thanks for the update Noah.
I was considering calling on this..thanks for the research.
“Send me your phone number, I will send you pix”
I thought it was a scam… I guess it is, sort of. I learned the difficult way not to give out my phone number when posting craigslist ads.
Regarding this post. I updated an older FC ad which appeared to be by the same seller. but that was for an FC-150 for which the seller was charging much less (that one didn’t run for example and which Noah’s comment was directed). In hindsight, I should have given this FC-170 ad its own post.

Hi David, Is there something wrong with this jeep been for sale for long time I’m still looking for just the right one THANKS Joe
Hi Joe,
The comment from Noah suggests that there is more wrong with this than is obvious. These sell pretty quickly, so I suspect other buyers have decided against purchasing this due to the issues and the price. I have never seen this in person, so I can’t offer more info than that.
