UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Craig forwarded this ad.  I think the seller meant that he “un-seized” the engine.

“I have a RARE 1957 Jeep FC 150 4X4. It is a really cool old rig. It has a lot of surface rust and it goes through on the drivers side floor and the passenger side back corner of the cab. Otherwise solid. I have un-ceased the motor, torn it down and repainted it (not to be pretty but to keep from rusting) I have everything needed to put it back together and get it running EXCEPT : New Clutch, Muffler, and exhaust. The rest is there! I also have a gasket set, new motor mounts and the original shop manual! I have web sites to get all the parts you need to restore. I am selling because it has sat for over a year without me having time to work on it. Cool rig I would love to see it on the road. They go for about $5-7k when they are all done. HAS TITLE!”

UPDATE:  Robin reports that this has sold.  Was listed at $6000.

It’s a little rough, but I can’t quite tell just how rough.

“V6 4 wheel drive all original”

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $3000

(05/13/2011) I don’t see much rust on the driver’s side.

“THIS IS A FLATBED TRUCK W/SIDES. IT HAS HIGH A LOW RANGE. IT RUNS BUT NEEDS SOME WORK. I AM ASKING $3000 WHICH I THINK IS A FAIR PRICE C ONCIDERING AGE & SHAPE, BUT WILL CONSIDER REASONABLE OFFER. PLEASE CALL STEVE @ 719-761-1945.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

“Well I’m sure no expert on old Jeeps, but a friend of mine gave me this FC-170. His dad is 80 years old, and has had it for many years. This is what I would call  “Barn Fresh.” It has been sitting in a barn for at least the last 5 years or so idle. He says it was running and driving  when it was last parked.
Here is what I know about it. It’s a 63′ or 64′, and it says Kaiser/jeep Corp on the I.D. plate. It is a factory flat-bed, 1 ton with dual rear wheels. This thing is rated to cary over 2 tons! It weighs 3,720 pounds empty, and has a G.V.W. of 8,000 lbs. Delivery date was Sept of 1963. It has a 6 cyl. flat head engine, and a manual transmission. The rear end is a Dana 70 and the front end is a Dana 30. This jeep has 5:37 gears I’ve been told. This Jeep could be used for parts, or better yet… be restored.

The engine turns free, and I’m sure someone more mechanical than myself, could have it up and running again in fairly short order. I do not have a title for it, and can only offer you a bill of sale. The previous owner has alzheimers (he can not locate the title). I do have  the shop manual for it.

It’s sure not perfect, but it’s not real rusty like some I’ve seen. (I would say its 99% rust-free). This jeep is over 48 years old and being sold as is. I would much rather you plan for the worst and hope for the best, than be disappointed in any way. My opening bid is 950.00 with no reserve. Now all that having been said….. I can’t imagine finding a better FC170 for the price…I only want the buyer to be happy with it…Thanks.”

Unclear if it runs and drives.
