A few years ago I posted a message looking for information on my Grandfather`s 1961 FC-170 which I sold in 1997 to two brothers from the Syracuse area. I never heard anything and thought the Jeep was gone forever. Friday my wife and I were coming home from the Syracuse Nationals Car Show and we were taking a back road when she said there was a Jeep in a garage we just passed. I turned around and there it was, My Grandfathers Jeep. It was 15 years since I last saw it. The curent owner just bought it for parts for his 61 FC-170 that he was working on. After giving him the history on my former FC we dicussed if I could buy what ever he did not need and he said yes so I plan on cutting the nose off (before your stone me to hard for this let me say the old girl has seen better days) and I plan on restoring the front end it to hang on my wall in my garage as a tribute to my Grandfather. Initally I was sad to hear he was going to part it out but after thinking about it I am glad that some major parts (engine , driveline etc.) of my Grandfathers FC will once again power another FC and for that I am very happy. Thank you. Mark.
