UPDATE:  Still Available

(12/16/2012) This appears solid.  I think this might have been given a camp-style paint job that was then covered with some cheap green spray paint.

“1954 Willys M170 Jeep CJ6

All stock running gear but not sure if everything is original to the jeep. F134 engine, T90 transmission, D18 transfer, dana 25 front and dana 44 rear. Replaced all fluids, battery, motor mounts, plugs, wires, steering parts, exhaust parts, master cylinder and fuel pump. No rust and all corners are solid. Very good start to restore or with some work would make a nice trail rig. Starts right away but I don’t know much about the drive train. Was not running when I got it but after replacing all the parts above it runs and drives. I bought it to fix up but I don’t have the time. PLEASE do some research on this jeep or know what it is before calling. This would not be a good daily driver. It is almost 60 years old and only goes about 50mph.

The M170 is a very rare jeep. They only made around 4000 of them from 1953 to 1964. These were originally used as front line ambulances or radio trucks. This was the CJ6 before they started making them. It was originally 24volt but has been switched to 12.

4,000 OBO or trade
Please call or text Charlie at 602-79one*two6one1”

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**

I like this one.  It has some early Civil Air Patrol stickers on it.

“1962 Jeep Willy Stretch M170 Ambulance. Government called for 6000 M170’s to be made. Production between 1953 and 1963. The government stopped production at 4155 M170’s, so I have been told by some sources that I have spoken with. The motor is a 4 cylinder F Hurricane Flathead 134. It has a 24 volt system, transmission is a T90. A model 18 transfer case and is equipped for a fording system. The jeep is all original and runs very good. There are no mechanical defects known. It is in good condition, even the tires are original. It was used in the Air Corps and still has original stickers and original Government plates (located under updated DMV plates.) Vehicle has a clear DMV title. No registration issues. The jeep has 32,288 miles on the engine as of date of listing. I drive it periodically to keep engine from sitting. It has a new rebuilt radiator, new water pump, new thermostat and housing and hoses. It also has a new master cylinder and fording spark plugs.”

This might be restorable.  It appears solid.

This runs and drives. It also comes with a lot of parts.  I think that’s the original paint, too.

“Up for sale here is my M170 US Army ambulance jeep. It runs & moves under it’s own power. It originally had a 24 volt electrical system but was converted to 12 volt. I have most of all the parts needed to put it back to original US military condition. Windshield is correct, four rims are correct and one is a later 60’s era wheel (front left), radiator holds coolant, brakes inop, tires hold air, has some rot. I do not have the top bows, top, nor upper litter rails. No title but I will provide a bill of sale. Delivery possible if not too far away. Calls ONLY due to scammers & their lousy emails. Call 708-3six3-five eight eight seven. NO BROKERS WANTED; I can sell it myself!”

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $3750.

Runs and drives, but needs polish at the very least.  Looks like a good foundation for a restoration.

“this is a very rare willys, only 4500 ever made. based on m38a1. runs and drives, has lots of original and hard to find ambulance only parts. would be a great full restoration project.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

It might be worth a look.

“I have a real nice jeep just to busy to restore it. It has very little rust out on it just one spot about a quarter in size. The engine supposedly runs when we bought it. We have never tried to fire it but the older gentleman we bought it from said he started it weekly. The oil in it was very clean and turns over. It was originally a 24 volt system but now a 12 volt. I have never tried firing it as I have been to busy. This vehicle will make an awesome dunes vehicle as its a real nice jeep that is a long wheel base. It can hold 2 or 3 rows of seating so a large family could use it or lots of storage room. It was originally an ambulance then radio jeep for the USN as its longer wheel base. It needs a good home that will either restore it back original or turn it into a jeep for a family fun. I have 5 projects ahead of it currently so it would be a few years for me to get to it so my lose is your gain. This jeep is so nice I wish I had the time to put into it but my other military vehicles are first. I have 2 spare rims for it also and a military pintle. The tires on it where the ones it came with but have swapped them for non flat ones.”

It looks a little rough. The seller has listed it poorly, so it has been available for a while.  A buyer can probably pick it up cheaply.

This might be restorable.  I don’t see any obvious rust.

“1962 M-170 Frontline Ambulance Willys Jeep for Sale. F-Head engine put in about 20 years ago. Needs lots of restoring and a good home. All extra parts go with it – not sure if all are useful.

This looks pretty good.
