UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

The floor boards on this look pretty solid.

“This is a very complete 3-4-45 MB. Serial number is 422765. I have the original data plates as shown in the photo. Jeep is out of Wyoming so it has minimal rust. An easy restoration project! Engine is an MB engine but does not have a matching serial number. Correct T84 transmission and model 18 transfer case. Engine compartment is very complete and original. Strong running engine, carries 40 psi oil pressure at idle. Transmission and transfer case shift smoothly and do not make any funny noises.
The frame is in average condition for it’s age. Left rear upper shock mount is gone and a gusset plate has been welded in place. Looks to be an easy removal and there are two upper shock mounts included in the spare parts box to make the repair with. Front frame horns are in good shape. Have been boxed in but again, easy removal. Rear crossmember is damaged and will need replacing.
The steering bellcrank that should be on the axle has been converted to a cj3a type on the upper crossmember. Looks like it could be removed without to much difficulty.
I have installed a number of new parts to make it run and drive reliably. Here is the list: new deep mud exhaust system complete with a correct hanger kit, pedal shaft A495, Fuel pump and hose, fan belt, oil hoses, spark plugs, points, rotor, condenser, starter switch, z tube with seal kit, clutch link rod, generator pulley and a new battery. I have installed 4 new tubes and tires on original combat wheels and will include a 5th for the spare rim.
I will also include a new US made crossmember kit, a new US made front bumper and gussets along with the correct steering bell crank and bell crank repair kit.
All of the spare parts you see in the photos are included.
Clear Minnesota title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer

At the very least there appear to be some good parts here.

“Jeep (Willys) truck. Been sitting for a long time. I’ve done some research and found out these were built by Jeep (Willys) from 1956-1964 the models were FC150 & FC170. All were 4×4. Don’t no if it’s a FC150 or a FC170. Has motor, tranny and all the drive train, has everything. No clue if the motor could ever run again ( I would take an educated guess and say probably NOT). I will say it again IT HAS BEEN SITTING A LONG TIME. The interior is real rough. Some windows are broke out but some are’nt. It’s some what rare from what I’ve been able to find out.”

1945 Flattie Portland, OR $700

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $700.

(09/05/2012) This was a 1945 GPW, but it now has a CJ-2A body and some other mods, including some Desert Dogs.

“$700 OBO.  The value here is in the parts. It does not run and will take a lot to get it running.
It pretty much needs everything gone through or rebuilt to get it street worthy again.

The Jeep is titled as a 45 Ford Jeep, but it doesn’t look like there is much left of a 45.
Body is 2A, frame is 48 or newer.

This was going to be a project but just too much for me to tackle. The motor has two cylinders that are rusty and I don’t have the
time or resources to pull the motor and rebuild it. There are some good parts on this Jeep that someone will want.

MB Grill
T 84 Transmission (Needs Rebuilt)
WW2 water pump undrilled
WW2 carb (maybe)

Buyer must take it all. I will not part it out. Trades considered, unless I get too many calls with people offering me garbage…..

Call or text Dan at five zero three – 380 – nine three six six”

My ‘New’ FC-150s

I have been meaning to get a couple FC toys so that the next time I show up at a FC event I can be an official FC owner, even if they are FC-minis.  A couple weeks ago I finished up eWillys early, so I trolled through a variety of FC toys on eBay.  I came across two low priced, imperfect Corgie FC-150s out of the UK that would fit my minimal budget. I figured if I bid on a couple of them I’d walk away with at least one of them.  Instead, I guess no one else wanted them.  Thus, I ended up with two FCs.

These toys are a nice heavy weight metal, much heavier than I thought they would be. In fact, they feel heavier than some of the plastic Tonka toys I’ve seen.  Both toys could use some TLC, but I think I’ll keep them just the way they are.

Here’s an example of how the FC w/ the conveyer belt ought to look like.  Mine works, but the conveyer belt is missing.

Here are some more Corgi Jeep Toys on Flickr, too.  Apparently, Corgi made all kinds of vehicles.  A wide variety of Corgi vehicles have been photographed and placed on Flickr.
