Buying Tips

Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $13,000

(07/15/2018) Hasn’t been run in 3 years. Includes a matching trailer.

“1957 Jeep FC150.
– Been in the family for about 30 years
– Rhino lined truck bed and interior about 20 years ago
– New exterior paint about 15 years ago
– Original engine (Hurricane 4 Cylinder), transmission (3 Speed Manual with Overdrive), etc. with some modifications (overdrive and locking hubs added before initial purchase)
– The engine turns over but it won’t completely run on it’s own. I suspect that the fuel pump is the issue but I’m not certain. The engine isn’t seized though. Last started and ran about 3 years ago.
– Comes with a matching trailer.
– I have some original manuals and sales material that I would provide with it.
Please call, text, or email with any questions.”

This looks pretty nice, but why are 75% of the FC150s for sale narrow tracks!? 😑

A fact I too lament!

My theory: The narrow tracks were so tippy they got left in barns for the last 60 years.

The reality might be that 1957 accounted for a huge portion of all FC production. According to FC Connection, it looks like 1957 and 1958 (narrow track years) accounted for ~1/2 of all production.

Jeff –

Haha, well, that explains it. 🙁

The hunt continues!

Good point! At one point I loosely tracked the number of 2As for save vs. the number of 3As for sale over a multi year period, and it came out of be nearly 2 2As for every 1 3A sold. It wasn’t to far off of the actual ratio of 2As built to 3As built, with was approximately 3:2 (210,000 2As to 140,000 3As). So, Jeff’s theory would be consistent with what I found.
