German made Pinto 2000 CC engine?  Looks more like a Ford Pinto 2000 CC engine to me.  How about that updated side step, too?

“Willys Jeep- original non restored condition except has been converted to Pinto power- 2000cc German made engine. Runs and drives, but needs work. Needs lights, windshield, bell crank, brakes sticky,”

1957 FC-150 Dubuque, IA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $1200. This was for sale earlier this year.  It appears to have a new owner who is selling it.

(02/16/2012) It runs, but has rust.

“For Sale is a 1957 Willys Jeep FC150 or Forward Control 150, serial number shows that this is the 68th one made out of only around 30,000 units made bewteen 1957 and 1964.
Runs and drives, 4WD, 3 speed manual, 2 speed, single stick transfer case, 4 cylinder engine (Hurricane 4 I believe,) I believe it has around 24,xxx miles. has engine driven hydraulic pump and lines still attached. Did have snow plow attached before I bought it.
Tires are dry rotted but hold air, have tubes in them but will need to be replaced soon. The transfer case does shift into all ranges but the front hubs need to be replaced, the front driveshaft spins but the hubs don’t engage. I bought it this way
and never had the time to replace them. Needs driver side window replaced, all the guts are there and you can get a window cut at any auto glass store in town. Needs a lot of body work, paint, weatherstripping, etc. Basically needs to be restored.
The headlights, tail lights and beacon on top all work but wiring was cobbled together by previous owner. Could use a new battery as well, and a choke cable. Hard starting in the winter, carb needs rebuilt but will throw in a rebuild kit that I bought. I will include the front bumper that is in the back and the big gas can as well. This is a rare truck and a good project,
however is not roadworthy so you will need to bring a trailer. Selling due to relocation out of state. Has a title and will throw in a service manual as well. Asking $1200 obo”

Year? CJ-2A Schuylerville, NY **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500

”  Up for sale is my Willys flat fender Jeep. I’m not sure of the year; my amateur research shows the body maybe 1953 or around that time. The chassis appears to be maybe from 1970-1973 due to the fact that it has power steering and full spring shackles. This vehicle has been used on my property for the last 10 years, and has been a most reliable tool for the tasks I needed done here. It has no paperwork, and is really the culmination of several vehicles. It has a Chevy 4cyl engine; I think a 2.5 liter. It has electronic ignition and a new carbureter. There are two batteries; one for the chassis and one deep cycle for the 8000lb Smittybilt winch. They are switchable, so you can use either one or both together depending on your needs. I added new military leaf springs ( 12 leaf M38) at all four corners, and a limited slip in the rear differential with 4.88:1 gears. It has brand new tires with less than 1 mile on them, new brakes, new GM internally regulated alternator, and recored radiator. Sorry for the long post but wanted to include as much as possible so phone time isn’t wasted”
