UPDATE: Was $1600. **Status Unknown**
(07/14/2014) Unclear if it will run or not.
“For sale : Super cool Jeep FC-170 4 wheel drive. Has been re-powered with a Ford 6 cylinder , looks like a 300 but not sure. Has Jeep trans and Dana 44’s front and rear. I bought it with the intent of restoring it or putting the cab on a late model GM van chassis, but have no time. I’ve been too busy to take a battery and gas can to it so I don’t know if it runs or not. Everything looks complete, body is not perfect but not junk either-minor rust in the usual places. Doors open and close nicely. The flatbed is wood with corrugated steel over,wood is pretty rotted. Frame has light scale but is real solid. Rolls nice and steers well. Have clear title but didn’t change it into my name.“
for what it is worth “didn’t change it into my name” is a danger signal in PA – I’d make the guy 1st title it before even looking. Open titles in PA are awful to deal with as both the former owner and the new owner MUST appear before a Notary to sign, you can’t just sign off as in the past – if the former owner has moved away or worst died you are done-for. Never leave a title open
Thanks Bill. I’d hope to find a page that helps people more easily find title rules in their own states, but I have yet to find a good page or site.

Yes, I can verify that if the seller and buyer are both in Pennsylvania and the title is not in the seller’s name it’s NO DEAL, beacuse you have to do the transaction with a Notary.
