1960 FC-170 Ishpeming, MI **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000

(05/14/2014) Hasn’t run in a while.

Classic Jeep, needs restoration. Restoration had been started many years ago, but hasn’t been worked on for sometime. I am unsure if the transmission or engine was previously worked on. See pictures. These are pretty rare jeeps, I am selling because I don’t have the time or space to restore it. Email if interested. We have equipment on site, will need to be loaded onto trailer for transport. Clear Michigan Title.”

**SCAM** Bantam BRC-40

• CATEGORIES: Bantam-FordGP-WillysMA-EarlyJPs, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Here’s a scam I didn’t know about. The ad was pretty convincing, because  the ad title “Old jeep army navy usmc” was so poorly written in terms of keywords. The seller acts as if they don’t really know what they have.

Honestly, I thought I’d scored big. However, I had enough sense to email Josh and he deflated my bubble gently. Oh well, I’ll keep searching . . .

There’s a discussion about this at G503: http://g503.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=334790

Custom Truck?

• CATEGORIES: Willys Trucks This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Tim forwarded this ad for help. The owner doesn’t know what type of truck it is. He notes the cab is a convertible and the quality of work is good, so good it looks factory. I think it’s likely a 1960s truck that’s been modified. The rear window is small, but not shaped like early trucks.

Any jeep/willys experts out there?
Im trying to figure out what this barn find is? I’ve searched around some web sites with no luck.
It has the small rear window like an early willys, but a 1 piece windshield like a later one.
It also has a convertible roof that appears factory, but I can’t find any info on it.
If you can help, please give me a call or send me a text
Thanks for your help.”

Looks like a good jeep.

This jeep has the original go devil 4 cylinder and factory drive train. It’s tag is up to date and It has a clean title. I use it to drive to work on really nice days ( 10 mile round trip) and take the family for rides around the ranch. Four wheel drive works wonderfully and transfer case shifts effortlessly. It is a partial restore that I don’t have the time to finish. Plus have a new baby on the way and need to consolidate my hobbies. If you have any questions, please feel free to call or text.”
