    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.

    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!

    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!

    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. :tb


    I'm going to try really hard to get my old Willys finished over the winter.:deal

    It's in Cazadero, CA, near Guernville and the Russian River. Drop in on them and browse around.:D

    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?:tb

    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".
