UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200. This was for sale earlier this year. It appears to have a new owner who is selling it.
(02/16/2012) It runs, but has rust.
“For Sale is a 1957 Willys Jeep FC150 or Forward Control 150, serial number shows that this is the 68th one made out of only around 30,000 units made bewteen 1957 and 1964.
Runs and drives, 4WD, 3 speed manual, 2 speed, single stick transfer case, 4 cylinder engine (Hurricane 4 I believe,) I believe it has around 24,xxx miles. has engine driven hydraulic pump and lines still attached. Did have snow plow attached before I bought it.
Tires are dry rotted but hold air, have tubes in them but will need to be replaced soon. The transfer case does shift into all ranges but the front hubs need to be replaced, the front driveshaft spins but the hubs don’t engage. I bought it this way
and never had the time to replace them. Needs driver side window replaced, all the guts are there and you can get a window cut at any auto glass store in town. Needs a lot of body work, paint, weatherstripping, etc. Basically needs to be restored.
The headlights, tail lights and beacon on top all work but wiring was cobbled together by previous owner. Could use a new battery as well, and a choke cable. Hard starting in the winter, carb needs rebuilt but will throw in a rebuild kit that I bought. I will include the front bumper that is in the back and the big gas can as well. This is a rare truck and a good project,
however is not roadworthy so you will need to bring a trailer. Selling due to relocation out of state. Has a title and will throw in a service manual as well. Asking $1200 obo”
Nice dash switches, top notch.
I called the owner and its sold.
Thanks Joe
