UPDATE: The winner is Anonymous at $200. Thanks for the unexpected response everyone and a special thanks to Steve Vogelzang for making it happen!
Steve sent me this original 1960 FC-170 manual in the hopes its sale would raise a little money for eWillys. One of the unique things about this brochure is that it appears to have been in a Chevrolet engineering library. There was one of these available on eBay for $45, but that one is now gone. I’ll start the bidding at $30.
Along with the brochure is an FC-170 brochure. These run between $5 and $10 on eBay.
I can’t resist!
Common guys, bid it up, Ewillys alone is worth it……………………………………….
I already did. Im sure Bill from Lime Street will be interested by it but i will not let it go so easy.
haha… I hear that Pascal has all the money today!
Does it say anywhere on it that it’s a 1960 (other than the pen mark on front?) Both of my 170 DRW’s are 1959s by VIN#. Just wondering if I would need an exact year book. My 150’s are 1960, and they don’t have books either.
Bill @ Lime Street
Bill, on page one it states a copyright date of 1959. I can only assume that was for the 1960 year based on the printing on the front?
On page two it shows two trucks:
A Forward Control ‘Jeep’ Model FC-170 Truck Pickup Body
&
A Forward Control ‘Jeep’ Model FC-170 Truck Stake Body and Dual Rear Wheels
Very impressive!
Two things; either this owner manual worth more than i think or im not your biggest fan.
Let see what kind of money i can find tomorrow.
Well, I spoke with my financial minister (wife) and we decided that the royal canadian money is not enough strong to go forward.
Congrats to the winner!
Just speaking about big money for an owner manual;

Really?
Pascal: Thanks for the bids! Wow, that’s a pretty pricey manual.
