Nobody can say no to a face like that.
It’s amazing how affordable many classic Jeeps models still are these days, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see their prices start to climb. After all, the Jeep brand has become a darling not only for Americans but many people around the world. That’s why grabbing this 1960 Jeep FC-170 DRW Forward Control isn’t a bad idea, whether you’re just looking for an investment vehicle or something unique and cool to drive to events.
Just under 2,600 of these were made for the 1960 model year, so it’s not like they’re growing on trees these days. As the public starts to become more aware of these snub-nosed pickup trucks from Jeep, and the fact likely there won’t be anything like this again because of modern government regulations, values should climb rather steeply.
While not perfect, this Jeep FC-170 is in good overall condition. That beautiful yet rugged Champagne body has a nice luster to it, with only minimal scratches. Straight panels both sides also feature even gaps. Steel wheels painted white add a throwback look, matching the white tailgate, plus there are duallies in the rear. That snub nose features the famous seven-slotted grille and round headlights, plus the Jeep logo, as if anyone would mistake this for anything else. A nice brush guard adds a tough edge to the front end, while a front skid plate makes the capability of this ride quite clear.
Powering this ride is a 226ci Super Hurricane inline six-cylinder engine tied to a four-speed manual transmission. Being a proper Jeep, this truck comes with four-wheel drive, if you choose to hit the dirt or need it for any other situations.
Appropriately Spartan in appearance, the tan interior looks almost blemish-free, just like the exterior. Factory controls and gauges are in their correct places. In the bed is a drop-in liner, providing protection for the paint, so you can still haul car parts, outdoor gear, or whatever you like.
