UPDATE: Was $7500. **Status Unknown**
“Rare and interesting Foward Control Willys 1 ton truck with a 9′ cargo box. Inline six “Hurricane” engine and T-98 four-speed trans. 5:38 gear ratio 4 x 4 + Hi-Low transfer case and PTO winch. Said to be an ex-government truck.
Truck has been restored by an unknown party but appears to be a frame-off. Everything is redone top to bottom. Frame and running gear are clean and freshly painted. Interior is amazing, with fresh vinyl everywhere and even a complete headliner. Needs new door seals. (Available). Has new floor mats. New tires on coated rims. New gas tank. Must have been a ton of money spent on this.
Over $2000. in recent work by me with complete new brakes and tune-up, carb rebuild, etc. Has new electric wiper system that works perfectly. The body is very sraight and I can’t find a hint of rust anywhere, but there was a problem with paint prep, and the new paint is coming off. Will need prep and paint to be perfect.”
Is this thing still for sale? If so,please advise Thank You FDS
Denis,
I haven’t seen this relisted. I’ve updated the post. Should I see it again, I’ll drop you a note.

Dan had sold it to a guy in CO who then put it on ebay at the beginning of January for a really high price. I don’t know if it sold but the ebay listing was pulled and isn’t viewable. Expired listings usually stay up for 90 days. Steve E. may know more if he followed the auction.
Thanks Blaine
Steve E. knows nothing about it and the ebay link was on ewillys. http://www.ewillys.com/2015/01/11/1962-fc-170-denver-co-ebay/
It’ s a good think the site tracks this stuff, because my mind certainly doesn’t any more!
