'63 Willys Jeep
I have a 59 FC170 but it doesn't look this good. I rolled it back in the 70's. I cut 30" out of the frame behind the cab to shorten the wheelbase and removed what was left of the top down to the dashboard. I welded a 60 Ford Convertible windshield on it, did the bondo work, and painted it a camo green. While I was at it, I rebuilt the Continental 226 Hurricane engine and put 5:88 gears in the front and back. Top speed is about 45 mph but it'll do that almost straight up. I do have to watch about mud puddles though as there are no doors and the wide mud grips will throw a lot of mud. They are a hoot to drive.

^x2! I wanna see that!
These old Jeep trucks are so quirky looking, I love 'em. How rare are they? Or does anyone know the number(s) produced? I figure it's pretty low
