I thought I had listed this, but I can’t seem to find it now.
“1959 Jeep FC-150 4X4. This is the rarest year for these FC’s (Forward Control) they only made 1546 of them in 1959. Please don’t bid unless you have funds and you are ready to purchase.

Still has Colorado plates. I wonder if it has been registered in Ohio yet.
“1948 CJ2A Originally from Colorado Excellent Condition Rust Free Previous owner had it for 67 years New brakes and axle seals all around Normandy Blue”
UPDATE: Claus confirmed that this same jeep was on eBay for $20k recently. If you see this posted other places on Craigslist, I’d suggest flatting it.
Craig shared this ad. The too-good-to-be-true price on this beautiful M-38 suggests it is likely a scam. The phone number for the ad is a California one, but it was listed in the Ann Arbor, Michigan, Craigslist. That doesn’t automatically mean it’s a scam (as I still have my Cali phone number), but is just another reason to be suspect.
“Also has new 12 volt batteries. Totally rebuilt engine and transmission”

(09/28/2017) Incorrect grille for a 1949.
“Selling our 1949 Willys jeepster. Car runs great. Willys only mad this car for 4 years and it’s 1 of 2960 made in 1949. Were only selling it because we have 2 babies and no time to drive. Car was driven in Hot August Nights. I have all records including pictures of the car before it was restored. Great weekend driver. $12,500 obo.”

“This is my 1955 willys cj5. It has been my pride and joy for the last 12years, and I am ready to let someone else enjoy this wonderful vehicle.
It is a blast to drive, and great to look at! It was fully restored in 2006. It served me as my Daily driver all through high school and then some years after. It has been kept indoors for the last 10 years. The more kids we have the less it gets driven, and it is depressing to see it set and not get used. I would rather have someone enjoy it than have it set in my garage with the other “toys” I don’t use anymore.
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/19/2017) Doug spotted this one. It’s a column shift. No view of the driver’s side provided.

It appears this is a CJ-3A with a DJ-3A body. Looks like a fun little rig. It is 2WD now.

The seller explains that this is registered as a 1957, but is actually a 1962.
“For Sale 1957 Jeep Forward Control 3/4 ton Pick Up Truck Model FC170
This Jeep FC170 is currently licensed, insured and driven almost every day
Sale to be executed via “Bill of Sale” only as GA does not title vehicles this old. I will also provide the current registration which most states accept for non-titled vehicles (check with your state before bidding).
This truck was completely gone through to make it a safe and reliable daily driver. It is driven locally almost every day (driven over 2500 miles in 2 years). I have taken it on several trips of 100 miles or more and it is very reliable. It will only do about 50 mph so it’s not really an interstate cruiser. Overdrive could be added to gain another 5 mph for about $800 from “Herm The Overdrive Guy.”
THE GOOD (Mostly things done to make safe and reliable)
* New brake master cylinder
* New brake wheel cylinders (all 4 wheels)
* New brake shoes (all 4 wheels)
* New Brake drums (rear)
* Front brake drums were turned
* New front wheel bearings
* Replaced full-time 4WD hubs with Locking Hubs
* New steel and rubber brake lines (all)
* New exhaust, muffler and tailpipe
* New emergency brake cables (front and rear)
* New shocks
* New speedometer cable (speedometer was in-op when I purchased it but currently reads 14418…I’m certain it’s turned over)
* Added new Volts, Oil Pressure & Water Temp gauges
* New gas tank, sending unit, fuel line and skid plate
* New electric fuel pump
* New 1 wire alternator
* Fabricated new coolant surge tank
* New carburetor
* New Air Cleaner Assembly
* Engine tune up, plugs, points wires
* Added original style engine oil filter (they were optional)
* Rebuilt transmission and transfer case (still leaks urgh)
* All new u-joints
* New clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing
* New tail lights
* New ignition switch
* Door lock keys made by matching to tumblers
* Rebuilt heater box (has working 2 speed fan)
* Replaced vacuum wiper motor with electric
* Went through ALL wiring, everything now works as it should
* Refurbished steering column mounted turn signal device
* Added dash mounted signal indicator lights
* Added dash mounted cigarette lighter/power plug
* Replaced horn button, column wire and horns
* New dimmer switch
* Added back up lights and switch with dash indicator light
* Added GMC Safari Van Dual Sun-visors
* Added larger rear-view mirror
* Added retractable seat belts (both seats)
THE BAD
* Some rust (see pics) but nothing you’d be ashamed of from appearances (exception might be the bottom left side of the tailgate). The bed floor was rusty and was replaced with solid sheet steel by previous owner
* Engine runs and drives fine but is old and a bit tired, has a lifter tick but runs and runs like a sewing machine
* Windshield is not cracked but has wiper blade wear marks on passenger side and frosting at some edges
* Wing windows, rear cab windows, back glass and driver’s door glass all fine but passenger door glass has cracks but is usable and will roll up and down
OTHER FEATURES
* 10×15 aluminum wheels with newer tires (80%+ tread remaining)
* Original front bumper modified/fabricated for 8000 pound Warn Winch mounted on 2″ receiver hitch tray (can be removed and mounted on rear or trailer and it uses welder leads to plug into battery circuit)
* Fabricated Scout bumper for the rear with 2″ receiver hitch with 4 & 7 trailer light plugs
* Added tool box with lid lifting struts to the front of the bed
COMMENTS
This has been the most amazing vehicle I’ve ever owned. It gets more attention that any Muscle Car or 4WD vehicle I have ever owned or known. It’s not a trailer queen by any means but would be a great candidate for a total restoration (good bones and complete). Every-time I stop to go in a store there are people waiting for me to come out to ask “WHAT IS THAT?” I’ve had as many as 10 people waiting for me in the Lowes parking lot, even women who in my experience aren’t usually that interested. It doesn’t go real fast, 45-50 tops but it is very reliable. I would drive it anywhere if it weren’t for the speed and gas mileage isn’t that great either with low gears.
It’s registered as a 1957 because that’s what was on the Minnesota title said but Jeep Serial Number lists indicate it is actually a 1962.” Continue reading
