UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“I have had many requests to sell the entire Willys FC150, so after discussing it with my son, we would be open to selling this and focusing our efforts on my late fathers 1974 F250 4X4 HiBoy with 30,000 miles so please email with any questions and I can send additional pictures if needed.
This Jeep has been stored in a concrete building since 1965 and I dug it out this past weekend so that I can start a restoration project of the body with my son. It belonged to my grandfather who owned a local shortline railroad and he used the FC150 as a service truck to repair locomotives. He had taken the engine out and rebuilt it but never reinstalled it due to a health issue. Over the past month, I have replaced the seals and painted the engine. I have also rebuilt the transmission and transfercase so the engine, transmission, and transfer case are completed, painted and ready for install.”
Dave, Dave, Dave….. My New Year’s resolution was to get rid of some of my excess stuff, not buy more. How can I not go look at this! It is only 2 hours away and looks great! I don’t have a FC-150 to put it on but I guess I could build a truck around the bed. This sickness I have is worse than I thought!
Hey Craig,
If you or Dan get it make sure to get the gas tank. One of a kind. If you do look make sure to get pics of the tank. Looks like it would only fit on a narrow track truck without having the wheels sticking out of the back.
It now looks like the whole truck is for sale. Hey Dan H., it spent it’s life servicing locomotives, hint, hint!!!!! I can go get it and store it for you if you wish.
If it had 8 wheels on it, 4 of them small steel ones I would own it. Funny it looks like a narrow track but the vin is a 59.
Dave I think it’s Missouri not Virginia !
Thanks Buz and Craig. I’ve updated the state and updated the post to reflect the potential sale of the entire rig.
