1959 FC-170 Orange County, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500

According to the seller, that is the original paint.

“For sale is a original and rare 1959 FC170 with the 9 foot bed option. Original paint, never been repainted. Two previous owners, complete and fully documented ownership history, including the original dealership bill of sale. Everything works. Everything on the Jeep is original, the interior is complete, seat upholstery is original, the running gear is refurbished and works as it should, including the engine, the 3 speed manual, the transfer-case, 4 wheel drive, axles, diffs, all in good running condition. Rebuild gas tank and rebuild the sending unit. This Jeep drives real nice, and everything works, the heater, all the electrical, the turn signals, lights. Complete with original headliner, original door panels, original sun visors, and a few rare items like a vinyl cigarette box holder attached to the visor. The stencil “Jeep” and “4 Wheel Drive” insignias on the tailgate are original. The tires are original old stock, most likely the second set, dating early 60’s. A true survivor, this Jeep spent 90% of her life in one family, who owned a RV business in a small town in Washington State. The Jeep was mostly used to plow occasional snow on the RV lot, otherwise the Jeep parked in the dry. The body is completely stock and original, no accidents, no rust with the exception of pitting and surface rust on rear fender flares and surface rust on the bed floor. Because it is so original I never had plans to repaint or frame-off restore this Jeep, I always loved the original condition it is in. I just made everything work properly, with the goal to avoid any modern upgrades or parts replacements that are not era correct. This Jeep drives real nice, it breaks properly, shifts nicely and the engine sounds very healthy. This FC170 is a true survivor. Your chance to own a piece of Jeep history. Original West Coast Jeep all her life! The snow plow mechanism works, but I do not have the plow blade. This FC170 is incredible. West Coast Jeep all her life, documented ownership history, I am the 3rd owner. I even have the original dealership bill of sale from 1959! Original paint!!!!! Surface rust on bed, fenders, but NO critical rust in all the common areas!”

The Tender Scarlette — an e-Jeep from France

• CATEGORIES: Features • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  I visited the Tender Website … there is a long video on the front page showing all aspects of this 4wd e-vehicle. Truth be told, they had me at “sexy french woman hops in the front seat and takes off”

I ran across this post and image of what appears to be a small, electric jeep on a forum based in the philippines.  After more searching, I discovered this e-vehicle is sold in France and found out more about it from autoblog.com, which has covered this in a couple articles (here and here).

From the autoblog post, here is some information:  “You can have it in two flavors, which depends on your driver’s license. If you are 16 and have a basic motorcycle license (called A1 in Europe) you can drive one of this cars which is homologated as a quadricycle. Performance is then quite discreet, limited to 45 km/h (slightly more than 30 mph) and it can’t be driven on highways. However, if you have a regular car license (B1), the car can run up to 80 km/h and can run on highways. The engines can yield 4 kW, 8 kW or 12.8 kW of power depending on the configuration of the vehicle.

The car is a real 4WD with four motors, one for each wheel. The electricity is stored in the floor in 12 lead-acid batteries that store 48 V and 240 Amperes each. It’s enough to drive the car up to 100 km (60 miles). Lead acid batteries were used because they are reliable, have a decent life span (claimed to be from 50,000 to 70,000 km) and low cost of substitution (around 2,200 EUR) when they do die out.. The cost of the car is between 10,000 and 15,000 EUR, depending on options.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.

Brett spotted this great find.  It won’t stay in 3 gear (4 speed), but it sure looks like a great price.  It appears the interior has been rhino lined, the brakes have been upgraded to power brakes, and it needs a bumper.

1959 FC-170 Jaffery, Nh eBay

• CATEGORIES: FC150-FC170-M677, Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This was formerly a Fire FC.

“This ’59 has a rare cab with 16,900 original miles. Was originally a fire truck, was disassembled and kept in a barn for years.  Previous owner sandblasted frame and undercarriage which is in excellent condition.  265 engine was completely rebuilt and a very rare 4-speed transmission was added.  A steel dump body with dual pistons was custom made. Dump works perfectly.  Chrome dual pipes were added for charm and a great sound. Truck goes like crazy!  What it needs:  a bumper, needs wipers connected, and the heater hose needs connecting.  It won’t take much to finish it off!  I don’t have the time or energy to do it myself.  Call if you have a question – 603-532-7645 or email.  Paypal or certified bank check”

1954 M-170 Austin, TX **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

“Virtual frame up restoration of a 1954 Military M170 Frontline Ambulance to great running condition.  I wished I had unbolted the body from the frame and replaced the little body pads because that is about the only thing not restored or replaced on this jeep.  Engine rebuilt with less than 20 hours running time on it.  Rebuilt radiator, NOS carburetor, NOS fuel pump, complete new Vintage wiring harness, NOS lights, power switch, steering linkage, new brake shoes, emergency break system, rebuilt transmission and transfer case, hubs repacked/rebuilt, New military tires, new exhaust, exhaust manifold, NOS cross over tube, water proof plug wires, accelerator peddle and linkages, cables, speedometer cable, NOS fuel tank, NOS passenger seat, etc., etc., etc.  I have over $12,000 of parts and shop labor invested in this restoration!

24 Volt power system with 12-volt starter.  This makes it crank fast and is therefore easy to start.  Very little rust.  Pictures show the major places on the body where there is any pitted rust other than the bed.  Bed had some pitted rust.  I scraped, primed and painted that area, covering it with plywood for protection when hauling rocks, etc., (it is a working jeep).

Note the importance of this rare jeep model.  The M170 Frontline Ambulance with the twenty inch stretched body length is a very rare Willys model.  Some reports show less than 2500 ever made, (and possibly only 300 running today), as compared to the much more common M38A1.  It was the precursor to the Civilian CJ6 which Ronald Reagan drove on his ranch.  While most parts are interchangeable with the M38A1, several are unique to the ambulance.

I restored this Jeep with the help of the local Lonestar Military Vehicle Preservation Association (MVPA).  Hopefully there is a chapter in your area.  We used ours as a fun hobby and kid’s car at the ranch.  For parade restoration, I would recommend configuring it into the 7 man troop carrier version (which was not an uncommon configuration while they were in service) rather than buy the required ambulance canvas top, stretchers and rails for it to be set up as an ambulance.”
