1959 FC-170 Austin, TX **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.

“Barn find – Vehicle comes with several areas of rust and has not run in several years by all appearances. The bones are there, but it does require a lot of work to get to daily driving again.

This is a project vehicle. It is currently in non running condition and in my opinion will require an upgraded drive train (possibly inline 6 from a newer Jeep) as the current setup does not seem to be in running condition. No transfer box present. Would make an excellent finished project, but will require work.

Vehicle comes with bill of sale, but not title present. Bonded title would be the best option.”

Berth Dupre and All-Black WAC Units

• CATEGORIES: Features, Old Images, Women & Jeeps This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Mark shared a story about the death of Bertha Durpe, one of the few women who served with the 6888th CPD Battalion, an All-Black WAC unit that went overseas to help the war effort. The photo below doesn’t show the former Master-Sergeant Dupree, but it’s still a neat photo.

You can read a little about Ms. Dupree here: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article226817444.html

Sponge Jeep(?)

Mike shared this older photo of what could be a jeep ‘dressed’ in a sponge. Anyone know any history about it? The photo is supposed to be from 1964.
