UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500

“M-170 is the long wheel base ambulance version of the standard military Jeep. This Jeep is in excellent running condition with a freshly overhauled engine, new clutch and battery. The body is in good condition with no rust issues. Is is under a “non-op” registration but is street legal. It needs a windshield. The tires are new but the wheels and tires are not original military. An excellent candidate for restoration or use as is for running the hills.”

Has some rust issues, but runs.

“For sale is a 1955 Willy’s M170. This is the ambulance that the mitary used along side the M38A1. The only difference is the frame is extended to accommodate stretchers. It has the flat head four cylinder motor and a three speed transmission. It has hi and low range with four wheel drive hi and low. It does run. The only problems are on the passenger side floor board and fender as you can see in pictures have started to rust and the floorboards will need replacing eventually.

“Description
Up for sale is a unique collection of the span of the military jeep generations. Our founder has been collecting these Jeeps for decades and has decided to sell his collection in its entirety.

Over the past decades, our founder collected the cream of what came by our doors, and stored them away in his personal collection. As we are also one of the biggest Jeep Parts distributors in the USA this was a relatively easy task, both to find these jewels and to refit them with whatever parts that were needed. Part can be found at Jeeps Surplus in Oroville, CA. The only vehicle in this collection not running is the “1960 AMC M422A1 MITY MITE”, which hasn’t had any engine work.

The purchase price for the entire jeep collection is $100,000.00. We will not be selling these jeeps individually.”

“I have for sale my 1962 Willys Jeep m170 ambulance. It is basically like a military Willys m38a1 except it has a longer wheelbase. Being military it has the dana 44 axles and heavier duty leaf springs. It currently does not run as it needs the wiring harness reattached. It ran and drove great 3 summers ago before I ended up parking it and and pulling the harness for another vehicle. The harness is there, it just needs hooked back up. It is a universal harness I ordered because the original wiring was a mess. It has no top. I have the original harness and a few extra manuals and parts to go with it also.”

“1955 Jeep M170, post-Korean war vintage, was in service as an ambulance Jeep. Now it is like a CJ 6. Previous owner “bubbified” this jeep, so much of the specific M170 details were not included.
The GOOD:
Jeep has original 5:38 axles, original suspension including rear sway bar.
I believe the transfer case & transmission may be a transplant, as the engine is the Jeep V6, great engine, but non-stock. Bell housing is clearly transplant for the V6. Rest of driveline is original & in good shape. Has 3-sp tranny. Transfer case appears to be Dana 18 twin stick. All seem to work fine.
V6 engine is in excellent shape, runs perfectly, no issues at all, original carb, oil-bath air cleaner, distributor.
Body condition is excellent, only very minor surface corrosion seen anywhere, including all the hidden & storage places, no rusted areas at all. The body condition must be seen to be believed.
Brakes appear to be recently serviced, the parts are not rusted or frozen. Brakes have been bled and work fine.
All lights, blinkers, stop, wipers, heater, all work fine – even BU light works! I attempted to retain the original wiring and labeling as possible, but needed to fix the “bubbified” electrical.
Gauges have been replaced with non-military, but similar. Speedo is NOS, however the cable needs to be replaced. All gauges (except speedo) work as expected.
Suspension appears to be original & in good shape, has zerk fittings everywhere for lubrication.
Emergency brake works and has reworked original bracket & parts. The previous owner had hacked this up.
Includes recent complete CJ6 softtop with doors. All parts in great shape.
New NOS type windshield & gasket, New NOS style cowl gasket
Non-original heater installed, but does have working defrost & heat.
NOS style seat brackets, but retrofitted non-original seats. Have not found original style M170 seats
Jeep starts & stops nicely, runs well, gas tank is excellent shape, everything works.
