Green Bay & Western’s hi-rail FC-170s

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

An article in the Green Bay Press-Gazette on November 18, 1962, warned readers not to be surprised if they were flagged down at a Green Bay & Western (GBW) railroad crossing by a jeep.  The article goes on to describe that GBW bought 2 1962 FCs for use on their railroad, some of the Jeep’s features, and how they would be used.  The history of these FCs (shown below) and the GBW in general can be found at the Green Bay & Western Lines website.

One image below appears to be a rough scan showing the two FC-170s at the time of purchase. I’ve added a link to the 2nd photo which shows the FC awaiting restoration as of 2005 (a note under the image asked that it not be reproduced without permission).

1946 CJ-2A Boise, ID **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1500.  I dropped by to see this old Willys.  I’ve added some pics below.

One great thing this jeep has is a PTO with an old chain driven winch.  It’s held on by a flat sheet of steel that acts as a bumper. There’s been quite a few mods to the front of the frame, including patches on both sides of the front of the frame. This jeep started instantly with a little help from the choke.

The windshield frame and glass looks like it’s from an MB, as it looks shorter than the standard CJ-2A windshield and has no willys stamp.  The body is a little rough and probably worth passing over with a magnet.

It’s got full floating hubs on the back.  It also has some great meaty, yet small, tires.

(05/25/09) “46′ CJ2A Jeep all original parts. Only serious inquiries please! Can email pics.”

A ‘Police’ Wagon from the Movie Plumm Summer Bozeman, Mt $4800

• CATEGORIES: Fire/Police/Industry Vehicles, Unusual, Willys Wagons • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.

After some searching, I found a movie trailer that shows a short clip of the Police Wagon (shown below).  You can see the entire trailer from this 2008 movie here.

“1960 willys jeep for sale. great condition. 4×4. Flathead Hurricane 6 original motor, ~100,000 miles. Was in the movie, “A Plumm Summer.” Painted like a sheriff vehicle. runs great, and always starts, may need to have the piston rings replaces, but all the seals were just redone. cheep to insure, and a great vehicle, some custom work was done to the back seats to turn them into side benches. this jeep has all original parts, except for 1 missing rear seat, but i have the replacement in storage.”
