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.”
