“YOU ARE LOOKING AT MY 1964 JEEP FC170. IF YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE AND STUMBLED ACROSS THIS AUCTION CHECK OUT THEFCCONNECTION.COM. I HAVE ONLY SEEN ONE OTHER OF THESE TRUCKS IN PERSON AND IT WAS A FC150, SHORTER BED AND SOME OTHER THINGS. ONCE I SAW IT I KNEW I HAD TO FIND ONE. THIS FC SPENT MOST OF ITS LIFE IN CALIFORNIA WHICH IS WHY IT IS SO PRESERVED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A CAMPER WHICH IS WHY IT IS IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE. MILEAGE SHOWS 25K AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE FAIRLY ACCURATE BUT CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT. IT HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY CUSTOMIZED.

THE ORIGINAL OWNER ADDED SOME FUEL JUGS, PROPANE TANKS AND A GENERATOR FOR CAMPING. FRONT BUMPER HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO ACCEPT A WINCH BUT THE WINCH WAS STOLEN WHICH CAUSED GRILLE TO BE BENT. ONE OF FEW IMPERFECTIONS OF THE FC’S BODY. IT COMES WITH A STRAIGHT SIX SUPER HURRICANE THAT HAS BEEN RECENTLY OVERHAULED. RUNS MINT. HAS ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP AND IF YOU PULL CHOKE WILL START IN 10 DEGREE WEATHER NO PROBLEM. HAS 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH OVERDRIVE. ALL LIGHTS WORK, TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND SPEEDO. FUEL GAUGE DOESNT WORK AND WIPERS DONT. I HAVE ELECTRICAL MOTOR FOR CONVERSION. WINDSHEILD IS BROKEN BUT YOU CAN GET FROM THAT FC SITE FOR 300 BUCKS. BODY IS IN AMAZING SHAPE AND TIRES HAVE PLENTY OF TREAD EXCEPT SPARE. HAS DRUM BRAKES WHICH WORK AS GOOD AS DRUM BRAKES CAN. ONLY RUST WAS ALONG TOP OF ROOF WHICH HAPPENED WHEN LEAVES TRAPPED WATER UNDER THEM ALONG ROOF LINE. EVENTUALLY WATER CAME THROUGH ROOF AND POORED DOWN A-PILLARS. WATER WAS TRAPPED BEHIND LINING CAUSING RUST, THIS IS WORST AND ONLY BAD THING ABOUTH THIS WHOLE TRUCK. PROBABLY THE BEST CONDITION UNRESTORED FC YOU WILL EVER SEE. THIS IS THE TYPE OF TRUCK YOU WOULD WANT IF YOU DONT WANT TO OWN A LIFTED JK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS PLANET. IF YOU WERE SHOPPING FOR A CJ, FJ, DEFENDER BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE MORE ORIGINAL THAN A JK THAN CHECK THIS OUT.”

    After looking at all the pictures, the front and rear plates are matching. The CA black plates were issued ’63 through ’69. I’ve seen some ’69 cars with black plates, and some with blue plates, depending if the DMV office ran out of black ones. Looks like this FC has a good, solid body.

    Hi Jerry,

    I haven’t seen this relisted. I’ve updated the post. If it reappears, I’ll email you.
