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”

1962 M-170 Corte Madera, CA on eBay

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

The seller spent time refurbishing this USMC M-170.

“for sale is a 1962 willys m170 or mda.
this rig was decommisioned in 1978 from the USMC.
i rescued this vehicle from oblivion in 2005. it had been sitting in the sierra nevadas under pine needles for 25 years.
i brought it home and went to work.
i went through the vehicle nose to tail, but here are the highlights…
the original f-head motor has been professionally rebuilt and runs as well as it will with the carter ys carb.
i rebuilt the t90 3-speed and dana18 transfer case and they both work great.
i built a custom wiring harness and did a 12volt conversion(pertronix distributor, one-wire alternator, lights and gauges)
i completely replaced the braking system, master cylinder to the shoes.
it currently has 5ea. 31×10.50 street tires on 15×8 american racing wheels. i also have 5ea.original willys rims for NDT tires.
i did not have the ability or the room to take the body off the frame.
they only made approximately 12,000 of these. one run in the mid ’50’s, then again in the early ’60’s.
i shudder to think how much money i’ve dumped into this thing. but i don’t have the time or space to finish what i had planned.
i’ve got well over 10grand into her. i’d like to get around $4000, but no reasonable offer will be refused.
i will add a couple of more pictures soon.
thanks for looking.
buyer responsible for shipping.”

I like this one.  It has some early Civil Air Patrol stickers on it.

“1962 Jeep Willy Stretch M170 Ambulance. Government called for 6000 M170’s to be made. Production between 1953 and 1963. The government stopped production at 4155 M170’s, so I have been told by some sources that I have spoken with. The motor is a 4 cylinder F Hurricane Flathead 134. It has a 24 volt system, transmission is a T90. A model 18 transfer case and is equipped for a fording system. The jeep is all original and runs very good. There are no mechanical defects known. It is in good condition, even the tires are original. It was used in the Air Corps and still has original stickers and original Government plates (located under updated DMV plates.) Vehicle has a clear DMV title. No registration issues. The jeep has 32,288 miles on the engine as of date of listing. I drive it periodically to keep engine from sitting. It has a new rebuilt radiator, new water pump, new thermostat and housing and hoses. It also has a new master cylinder and fording spark plugs.”

The bidding for this has already reached $18,000.  This is an extremely detailed restoration.

This runs and drives. It also comes with a lot of parts.  I think that’s the original paint, too.

I have most of all the parts needed to put it back to original US military condition. Windshield is correct, four rims are correct and one is a later 60’s era wheel (front left), radiator holds coolant, brakes inop, tires hold air, has some rot. I do not have the top bows, top, nor upper litter rails. No title but I will provide a bill of sale. Delivery possible if not too far away. Calls ONLY due to scammers & their lousy emails.
