UPDATE:  This is likely sold. Was listed at $5000.

It appears that this could use a paint job, along with a was job.

“RARE!! 1957 Jeep FC170 4×4, Forward Control (Cab over) runs good, good body, no rust, just needs a wax job to shine! Has dump box & front winch. $5000”

It appears in decent condition and looks complete.  It might not be bad price.

“This is a one-of-a kind, hard to find jeep. It’s in good condition, does need some motor work. Call Larry at 270-268-3208 will take OBO”

Looks solid.  Includes a PTO.  Some rust in the rear.

“1959 Jeep Willys FC170 3/4 ton pickup. Cab is in great shape with original paint, all good glass, recovered seats, new brakes, new tires. Runs and drives good. The bed floor and tailgate are rusty. Factory PTO set up to run farm equipment. The engine smokes a little and has a slight knock from a spun bearing. The bearing was replaced but the crank is scored. I have another good crank to go with it. It has been in storage for about 5 years.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.

(04/03/2010) This will make someone a good project.

“Too many toys, not enough time left to finish… This little cab-over Willys 4×4 with some finishing TLC, could be a real show stopper… It has a 283 CI rebuilt Ford engine, with an added air tunnel for excellent cooling. It comes with near new tires, chrome wheels and a small lift kit. The bed sits on new mounts and comes with a side toolbox, the body is in primer with a minimal amount body work left before painting. The new re-wiring is more than 75% finished…. Due to health issures, questions are preferred and answered through my e-mail at: al3@velotech.net …However, my cell # is 5307393654 for the more serious inquirers…”

UPDATE:  Still Available

“THIS IS A VERY OLD AND ROUGH WILLYS FC-150 JEEP.  IT IS NOT ROAD WORTHY, AND MOST LIKELY NEVER WILL AGAIN. MATTER OF A FACT IT HAS ONE WHEEL OR MORE IN THE JUNK YARD.  I FIGURED BEFORE I TURN IT OVER FOR SCRAP I WOULD GIVE ANYONE WHO MIGHT USE IT FOR A FEW PARTS A CHANCE.  ALL THE RUNNING GEAR IS STILL WITH IT. THE WHEELS STILL TURN AND BY SOME MIRICLE STILL HOLD 30 PSI OF AIR.  IT HAS BEEN SITTING AROUND FOR A GOOD 10 YEARS THE BODY IS SHOT, MOST WINDOWS ARE DAMAGED. THE FRAME HAS HAD A WOOD REPAIR IN BACK, YUP WOOD. THE MOTOR COVER HAS BEEN REMOVED, SORRY I GAVE THAT AWAY.  THE MOTOR STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL OIL AND ANTI FREEZE AND MOTOR TURNS OVER EASLY BY HAND.   THERE IS NO TITLE, NO REGISTRATION, NO NOTHING.”

(03/08/2010) Based on the pics, this looks in pretty good condition for a East Coast FC-150.

“1957 Jeep Willys FC150 , CAB FOWARD narrow track , 134 Hurricane ?, 3 speed, Dana 18 transfer case, wooden flatbed. Bought last fall with the hope of frame off restore but no time and other project is neglected. Earlier restoration. That work is starting to bubble. Prior owner was a Jeep collector / enthusiast that rebuilt entire vehicle and worked it building a home in NH, motor and tranny also. Motor Runs great, drove good. Brakes need to be gone over (sticking). I drove it last fall around the block a few times. You could spend a few hours sorting out the brakes and be on the road the same day. Easy project, comes with abunch of extra parts that I have gathered but will pass along with the truck: Extra / Spare T-90 side shift tran, Dana 18, narrow track radiator (very rare), Replacement steel lower Cab corners and steel wheel well shapes, valance panel, extra dog house and more. Saturn Overdrive available but not included. It most urgently needs brake service / cleaning, driver floor patch (small flat), and door weather striping. To be really nice it will need some body work and paint. Wheels and tires in pic are not included as I want them for my other project. $1800”
