UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. **SOLD**

Route 60 runs between Apache Junction and Globe Arizona. After taking the time to ponder the exact location of Canyon inn on highway 60 if it still existed today, I came up empty. Anyone know where they Canyon Inn might be or have been?

The green FC-170 appears in two Canyon Inn postcards, leading me to conclude it was a regular fixture there for a while. Note the colorful wagon in the first postcard.

1) “VINTAGE ARIZONA, USA POSTCARD

This pic would have been taken n late ’50s, with Mercury wagon being newest of the lot. Neat Jeep FC, a couple of old Chevys and another Jeep, a station wagon.

The inside of this looks very nice. I think the outside might look better than the pics show.

“1957 Jeep FC150
This is an outstanding example of the rare Willys Jeep FC150.
Willys build only a few of these between 1957 and 1961 and this is a good one.
It runs and drives well and looks good.
Everything has been gone over and renewed as needed.
Engine fully rebuilt by a professional classic engine builder.
No rust problems on body as car came from the dry west.
Was painted 4 years ago to a standard Jeep red color and trim.
Interior is clean and standard.
Body is in excellent shape.
Not a high speed vehicle, has 5.33/1 differentials front and rear.
This truck will win its class in most car shows, it is very rare and will likely be the only car in the class.”

1946 CJ-2A Arlington, WA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000

This appears to be a good price. The pics are small.

“It’s hard to even write this add. Six years ago my son and I rebuilt this Jeep with our own bare hands from the ground up. The motor, transmission and transfer case were rebuilt professionally, so no worries there. Most if not all bolts and nuts are new and stainless steel. It has the original L134 engine, original 3 speed transmission and dual stick transfer case. I also added a Warn Overdrive that was rebuilt by Herm the Overdrive Guy in Battleground Wa. The rear end is an offset Dana 44 with a locker, and the front end is I believe a model 27 which is stock. It has new Warn hubs as well. It has new 31 x 10.5 x 15” tires, with Ford Bronco wheels with beauty rings. Body work and paint was accomplished by my son and I, so it’s not a Barrett Jackson restoration but a great little rig. She’s hauled several elk out of the woods for us and also picked up beer and bread. She is an all around great rig. It does not have a top but I made a bikini top for it just to keep the rain and snow off of us when hunting. Otherwise, she’s topless. I have a pile of receipts and months of work into this rig. You can go buy a Yamaha Rhino but you can’t go to town in it, plus you’ll pay double of what I’m asking. I’m sure I’ve left out a few things. Oh, and it’s registered for life as a collector plate. Clean, clear title. The original color was “Pasture Green”. Thanks for looking and a good day to you all. $6,000

Doug spotted this ad (http://limaohio.craigslist.org/pts/3736548170.html), which led me to Rudy’s CJ Website: http://www.rudys-cjs.com

Rudy’s is located in Findlay, Ohio, and specializes in 1976-1983 CJ-5s, CJ-7s and CJ-8s (scramblers). They sell both complete jeeps and parts.

According to the website, Rudy’s forte is “selling originally rot free, unpatched CJs for you to take to the next level or personalize or enjoy in it’s original glory as it sits.  Our philospophy is that all the mechanicals can be easily resolved but it is only original metal once.  We do not do any fiberglass Jeeps nor do we ever patch frames.”
