Description
Lot #1512 - Original 78hp 4 cylinder engine with 3-speed manual transmission, 5.13 geared Dana 44 axles front and rear. High and low range 4-wheel drive. Brand new reproduction Firestone 7.00-15 military lug tires on factory 15" steel wheels. This is a rust-free California desert truck with less than 33,000 original miles and less than 500 miles on a body-off restoration. These trucks were built on the CJ-5 platform and featured a cab-forward body and a small pickup bed. Only 1,298 1961 FC-150's were ever built. Beautiful Mountain Green poly and Palm Beach Ivory two tone with beige interior. Very reliable, top speed of about 55mph, but will pull a house down the road. This is a nearly 50-year-old classic 4x4 built by the legendary Willy's-Jeep. These trucks were rare when new and a great many of them were used in northern climates and are now long gone. This truck spent its entire life either in the desert or in a dry garage.
