There is one for sale right next door to me. Probably not running , probably too much money. For 500 without motor I would drop a small block in that thing and rat rod it.
nice thread vtwin (that place is mecca for any willys fan, thx for posting) mark883 - those working examples in mexico are very cool kurt - very nice rig
The FC van sticks out to me as well. Especially in the beautifully faded psychadelic Olive Drab. As far as I can tell it's an FC-170 that someone did a nice job of customizing into a panel van. As a extremely enthusiastic Jeep junkie before I got into motorcycling, I can't say I've ever even seen a pic of such a beast before. It's beautiful. Thanks for posting this collection. Unbelievable!

I don't think it sold, but since I can't read german... http://cgi.ebay.de/Jeep-III-FC-150-Bauj1961-Hurricane-exPost_W0QQitemZ270588474441QQcategoryZ29750QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8071175811472238377 Thanks to all that responded, it was a fun day and gave me more inspiration to get mine drivable.
Impressive! Where exactly is that? Being a 'Jeeper', I'd love to see all that old stuff. I really like the unrestored ones. They have a lot more character. Love the CJ-3B. The FC170 ambulance is pretty damn cool as well. Those are kind of rare since they were for the Military and had a Cerlist Diesel engine. Thanks for sharing!
former jeep addict here as well. I had never seen a van liek that before either. :eek1 awesome collection
Why was I not told of this open house? :ddog The four door Willys is incredibly rare, maybe a dozen were made. It's the holy grail for Willys nuts. I'm going to try really hard to get my old Willys finished over the winter. She's been sitting much too long.
It's in Cazadero, CA, near Guernville and the Russian River. Drop in on them and browse around. http://www.willysamerica.com/restorations/index.html Check out the cool Glennwood Green pickup in the video. Mine was originally this color with Seafoam Green highlight, a $19 option to two-tone.
Wow! Thanks for the link! This is definitely an Advrider chase vehicle. Who needs a Pinzgauer, Mog or a Land Rover FC when you could have this?
If you ever see one in person you'll know why people use Mog's, Pintz's and Landy FC's. The FC150 is tiny. It's built on a modified CJ-5 frame with a 81" wheel base. The FC170 is a bit longer at 103".
Ok, for those in the Pacific Northwet, here's your chance to check out FC's, they're having a meet later this month. http://www.willystech.com/parts/messages/31847.shtml
