UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
Thanks to Brian for sharing this one.
“1961 Green Jeep, 4 wheel drive, FC-170. This is set up as a camper that has a tire rack, cherry wood floors & cabinets, motor & transmission in tact. UNIQUE QUALITY: retractable, double sliding roof that prevents leaks (No other one found on the internet). (Make offer)”
FC Retro camping.. what a great little motor home. Done up and restored, that would be really neat-o.
Dave,
Add the picture of the sliding roof for the archives.
Steve, thanks for comment, as somehow missed the other pics. I’ve added them. I’ve never seen a camper slider like that.
hahaha — THATS A FC-170 M.A.S.H. unit !! — looks like it was a flatbed , stakebody ? — I don’t understand the sliding roof ? — I have a vw westfalia pop-top , its not that mechanism — is it like an ALASKAN POP-UP camper ? —last year I drove to the town of Mendocino for a super rare north face ve-25 great peace march tent — where in MENDO COUNTY is this located ?
Barney, I don’t know where in Mendocino this is. The Alaskan popups are different than that. I’ve never seen one like it.
I remember a pickup camper (production?) from the 60’s that had a roof like that. I saw it in either Popular Science or one of the RV magazines in the mid/late 60’s. My parents had three different RV subscriptions back then. I wish they didn’t disappear when they moved in the mid 90’s. (I mean the magazines, not my parents.)
Blaine, I’m glad your parents didn’t disappear, too! 🙂
The map pin appears near Ukiah.
Aside: that white Korean truck was never federalized for the US market. Wonder how it got here.
Dan. Agreed on the white truck. It seems an odd thing .. never driven, brand new, lacking an engine and tranny?
Hello, is this FC-70 Camper unit still for sale? Please let me know, thank you.
Looks like this one sold. I’ve updated the post.
