1954 M-170 Phoenix, AZ $4000

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

UPDATE:  Still Available

(12/16/2012) This appears solid.  I think this might have been given a camp-style paint job that was then covered with some cheap green spray paint.

“1954 Willys M170 Jeep CJ6

All stock running gear but not sure if everything is original to the jeep. F134 engine, T90 transmission, D18 transfer, dana 25 front and dana 44 rear. Replaced all fluids, battery, motor mounts, plugs, wires, steering parts, exhaust parts, master cylinder and fuel pump. No rust and all corners are solid. Very good start to restore or with some work would make a nice trail rig. Starts right away but I don’t know much about the drive train. Was not running when I got it but after replacing all the parts above it runs and drives. I bought it to fix up but I don’t have the time. PLEASE do some research on this jeep or know what it is before calling. This would not be a good daily driver. It is almost 60 years old and only goes about 50mph.

The M170 is a very rare jeep. They only made around 4000 of them from 1953 to 1964. These were originally used as front line ambulances or radio trucks. This was the CJ6 before they started making them. It was originally 24volt but has been switched to 12.

4,000 OBO or trade
Please call or text Charlie at 602-79one*two6one1”

1948 CJ-2A Chippewa Falls, WI **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  Was $1400. **SOLD**

(10/19/2012) This may be worth a look. I love the looks of those Ford Flathead motors.

“I have a 1948 Willys CJ-2a that is in decent condition. The body is pretty sound, there are a few rusty spots here and there. The main area of concern is a few spots in the front toeboards. If you have the capability to weld, these repairs should be no big deal. Overall this Jeep is very fixable. The master cylinder and slave cylinder need to be rebuilt, and this thing could be drivable.

Someone retrofitted a late model Ford flathead v-8 motor into this thing many years ago. The motor runs excellent, and has 50 pounds of oil pressure. Clear title to the Willys. I can’t tell you anything more than what I wrote here, you’re going to have to assess the vehicle with your own two eyes in person.”
