1961 FC-170 Woodford, VT **SOLD**

1961_fc170_benningtonUPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

These tow trucks don’t come up for sale everyday.  That said, it’s a bit rough.

“This is a nice FC170 (FC-170) forward control Willy’s Jeep tow truck. As you can see, the truck is a total restoration project, but being that it is so rare, it would be well worth the investment.  It has the original Canfield tow truck equipment minus the sling and A-frame off rear bumper.  Has the original motor, transmission, and axles.   The transfer case needs repair.  Has no front drive shaft.  The FC originally came equipped with the deluxe cab option.  Also suspect that it may have the severe service option but can’t be sure.  More photos can be seen here.  The vehicle is located in Woodford, Vermont and will need to be picked up.  No shipping or tranportation will be provided. There is no title, but bill of sale will be provided.”

1953 M-170 Highpoint, NC eBay

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

1953_m170_highpointThis is one of the nicest M-170s I’ve seen.  It’s not museum perfect, but that adds some nice character.

“This Jeep is in great condition, it will still start right up every time and runs excellently. This has been very well taken care of and is quite rare.  My grandfather served as a Lt. Colonel in WWII and beyond. He purchsed this Jeep from the Army after his retirement and restored it for me. It is a mechanical masterpiece, they don’t make them like this anymore. Nothing gives me more pleasure than cranking up this piece of authentic United States military history and driving back in time. This vehicle is really great and I hate to part with it. I am willing to let it go for less than it is valued because of financial circumstances….”

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

year_cj3a_louisvilleThis looks like a parts jeep.  It looks like it’s been sitting a while.  Note the hubs appear to be warn hubs.  Maybe there’s some other updates as well.

“This is a willys jeep 4×4 the year is between a 48-53. It has the original 4cylinder flathead motor, high/low transfer case. It would be great for restoring or using it for hunting.

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

1949_cj3a_ojaiUPDATE:  Was $2500. **SOLD**

This is a project that’s a bit expensive for a project.

“1949 Willys CJ3A with 327 Corvette engine – $3,000. This Flatfender will make a great project vehicle! The 1968 Corvette 327 engine (Holly 4 barrel) is not running and probably needs a rebuild.  Includes Bikini Top and parts for a full roll cage.  The tire sidewalls are cracked so bring your trailer.”

1942 MVD? Mooreville, Ms $4500

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB), MB This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

1942_mb_moorevilleI’ve not heard of an MVD?  It does appear to be an MB body.  The story behind the purchase is a bit odd.  He tried to convince his parents he didn’t want it, and just wanted to sell it, but has done a bunch of work on it?  hmmmm…..

“… Well, after weeks of trying to convince my parents that I do not want this thing, here it is up for sale to you. I will tell you what I know about the vehicle. Having personally worked on it, the Jeep runs very well, solid engine and drive train, four wheel drive works, all electrical items, except the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge needs the sensor in the tank, the actual gauge is fine. The outside paint actually looks good, orange in color. The soft top is showing some significant age, windows are whiting….”
