“Hi, I’m helping my dad sell his entire collection of military jeeps. They are located in Baraga mi there in a barn with a concrete floor. They been sitting a very long time.They do not run. They need total restoration and there is alot of parts that come with them.

1st jeep is a 1963 M170 ambulance. It was from Nevada. In my opinion this is a extremely solid jeep. No rust areas it has the hurricane 4 cylinder engine that did run. The engine is not the original one though.

There are 2 1954 M38A1 jeeps. One (pictured) is a 2 seat hard top. The body is in good condition no rust out but at one time some rust repair was done. The engine ran great in this one. The other M38A1 is not complete. No engine or trans mission. Continue reading

“M 170, build date 3/54, serial # 10023.
I purchased this vehicle a few years ago purely to save it from the Vermont elements. When I bought it the engine was lightly stuck, needed brake work and the fuel system was contaminated. This was my first Willys project but I didn’t have a place to get after it, I parked in my shed for a year while a shop was built, I sprayed the underbody with Fluid Film to stop any corrosion until I could get to it. It has lived in a heated shop since the shop was completed. I will describe everything to the best of my abilities, there are many pictures, if I don’t cover something please reach out and I will tell you what I know. Keep in mind I am not an accomplished mechanic nor am I a body man, the good news is that I am fully aware of this fact. I didn’t rip into anything I had no business touching, I had professional help with the carburetor and engine. The best news of all is that I don’t own a welder. Continue reading

“Selling my m170/CJ6 $4000 Hanover, MA
One of the most unique jeeps I’ve ever seen. It was built in the 80s by a local father and son as a show car and later used around their property as a plow truck.

Dauntless V6 t14 3 speed transmission Dana 18 transfer case offset dana 44 rear and a 27 front both with 11” drums from late 60s or 70 CJ5. Frame is in excellent shape body is good but has some dents and small about of rot on the front floors. M170 door opening converted to cj6 and obviously the commando grill.

It was running on Jerry can and drove onto my trailer at my buddies shop but didn’t start today when I went to unload it. Haven’t had time to mess with it. My plan was to go back to military m170 and I have sourced a front and rear end, engine, transmission, transfer case, set of 5 correct wheels and a short nose cj5 front clip. That can be negotiated for. I’d like to see it passed on to someone who “gets” it.”

Modified Hardtop on Tim’s M-170

• CATEGORIES: Builds, M-170 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Tim’s been working on this M-170, bringing it back to stock. One feature he really likes is the Metro Engineering and Manufacturing Top, which was extended to fit his M-170. Tim’s searching for some M-170 seats (probably the same as M-38A1 seats?? Can someone clarify this??).

“I’ve converted the engine back to 24 volts. The unique thing with this M170 is the top. It’s an M38a1 (I think) top that was cut and stretched 20 inches next to the door. Who ever did this did a great job. I like this better than canvas tops. If some one needs measurements contact me. One photo has the tag info on the top.”
