M-170 Body Chaparral, NM **Status Unknown**

• CATEGORIES: M-170, M-38A1

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was on eBay.

Seller says this is “1 or 3” but I only see one pictured? So I’m not sure what all is for sale in this ad.

“{ 1 or 3} M170/M38A-1 military willys korean vietnam army medical service mash ambulance approx. years 1958, I do not any titles for these vehicles, Bodies and frames and whatever parts are attached. The bodies have dings and dents, however pretty rust free. I have 2x windshield frames only. They have been in the El Paso, Texas area for some time. Perfect for restore or rat rod or replacement parts. If you need more pictures or other information.”

1954 M-170 La Jolla, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-170

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

Doesn’t start at the moment.

“‘m selling my 1954 Willys M170 (Long-wheelbase M38A1). Rebuilt original 4 cylinder F-head engine. Runs and idles very smooth. T90 3 speed, T18 2 speed transfer case, and 5.38 gears. Locking Hubs. 12 volt electrical system. 32 inch off-road tires. Clean California title, smog exempt. Very rare, only 4500 made and this is the first production year of them.

She is not currently starting because of a battery drain. I bought the car a few weeks ago and drove her home an hour from Fallbrook to La Jolla (hour on the coastal highway) and drove her for the next few weeks fine until I tried to start her one day, and nothing but the click of the solenoid. I bought a new Optima red top battery after learning the one she had was dead and she started right up, but now comes a few days later and the battery is dead again. So something is draining the battery, I think it could be the aftermarket amp installed so I disconnected it but I don’t have time to learn to try and fix this car. I am young, and don’t have enough money, time, or knowledge to solve this electrical issue, I wish I could because it’s a sweet ride and would love to drive her. If you want her you will have to tow her from my house. ”

1955 M-170 Warrior Run, PA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-170

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer

Might have some parts value.

“Picked this up from a buddy who got it on a trade. Kind of rare 1955 willys M170 ambulance jeep used for the military. Very similar to a cj6 but the passenger side door area is wider than the driver side.Some were for stretchers, a spare tire and even a mounted gun… has a small block Chevy motor, not sure what trans or tcase, they’re just sitting in place, not sure if it runs or not, has a bunch of misc sbc parts, starter, extra intake, carb etc…had a cj6 best top soft top, frame is solid, body is pretty solid for the year. Has some rot in sections but all very repairable…there is a company that makes replacement pass side panels to make it to be like the cj6 so driver and pass sides match…front clip is just set in place, no windshield, 4″ springs on it, tires are shot, just rollers….would make for a cool off road rig or a great candidate for a full restoration which would bring in some big bucks. I have no time or motivation to work on it…I’d be interested in trades, off-road related stuff, 4wd utility quad, ford model a type sedan or coupe body………not sure a cash price, throw me some offers”
