This runs, has been switched to overhead pedals, and appears to have a solid body. This might make a nice project.

(04/30/2012) This has an old jalopy look to it.

(04/09/2012) To quote the seller, “Be the envy of your neighborhood”.
“For sale is a one of a kind “Willys high hood” replica Jeep go cart. I custom built the body out of 20 gauge sheet metal with an inner steel support frame. It’s based on a riding lawn tractor frame and running gear, with hydrostatic forward and reverse drive. I changed out the drive pulleys so it goes plenty fast now. The motor is a 16 horsepower 2 cylinder that runs great. Comes complete with functional head and running lights. It’s all around a fun go kart. Perfect for your kids, grandkids, parades or to cruise around hunting camp. You could even put the mower deck back on it and be the envy of your neighborhood!! It does have a tow hitch on it for small utility/lawn trailers.Please call for more information, I’ll entertain REASONABLE offers. I do have a lot of time and a good bit of money in materials building this thing. No text messages please. $850 o.b.o Pete @ 503-830-0834 P.S. I can possibly modify your riding lawn mower, call for details.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(02/15/2012) It starts and runs, but needs some work.
“Jeep has a rebuilt engine, but has been sitting for a while. The body is in decent shape. The engine will fire up and run, will have to poor gas in the carb. Tires are decent. It is an original 1950s CJ3A willys jeep. The jeep also comes with a later model rear seat and 2 front seats.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9950
This looks good. It looks restored as a M676, though it probably really is a FC-170.

Ann and I are back in Seattle tonight awaiting Dad’s surgery tomorrow. He is having his aortic valve replaced. We expect things will go well, but there are a few complications, so it’s no simple surgery.
Therefore, just a few updates tonight. More tomorrow.
Also, I will be signing books at the WAAAM Museum in Hood River, Oregon, this Saturday. So, stay tuned for more on that later this week.
Like a bear emerging from it’s cave after a long winer, Paul temporarily removed his custom M-38 from its Alaskan lair.
He writes, “The garage was opened and the Willys was pulled out into the early morning light today. The poor Jeep was coated with sanding dust which I removed by blasting the body with high pressure air and followed that with a water rinse so you’ll notice the water droplets clinging to the sheet metal. Anyway, with all the glass installed, the stainless wiper arms and blades mounted and most all of the major work done this project is looking pretty good to me. I need to work on the frame welding up the extra holes, finish the radiator mount and double check everything before the frame gets sandblasted one more time before getting powder coated glossy black.
When my new sheet metal brake arrives I’ll finish remaking the fuel tanks, I wasn’t happy with the first set I built so I scrapped them and started over with a slightly different design. Viewing the Willys outdoors from a distance is so different from the usual close up view in a packed garage I’ve become accustomed to and I get a better idea of what the finished Willys will look like. I think this Jeep will cause people to stop and take a second look but that might be wishful thinking on my part. Either way, I’m happy with the progress (I’ll admit I’ve taken much longer than I’d originally planned) and there’s more to do but I’m still a happy guy.
Over 4,000 hours of fabrication time to get to this point and still many more hours of work are necessary to complete this rebuild but I’m not tired. I’ve learned a lot along the way and I’m reasonably pleased with my quality so far.”
