“1943 Ford GPW 1/4 ton military (jeep). Ford body, frame, and engine. L134 flathead Ford engine has been recently rebuilt by certified shop specializing in WWII military vehicles. The engine was balanced during the rebuild process. The gearbox, clutch, and drivetrain was rebuilt. New electrical system. New tires. New brakes. New steering arms / knuckles. New cooling system rebuild. New gauges. Over $13,000 USD was spent in the rebuilding process. The body was left unmolested because this jeep is famous…This jeep was used in the following films: Pearl Harbor, Windtalkers, Flags of our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima. The film history is documented. This is a special surviving jeep that is real, not a fake one with a fiberglass body and parts from older model jeeps or from Asia. This is not a trailer queen and can be started and driven with no problems.”
I know this jeep. The young guy who owns it has shown it here at several events. The engine purrs amazingly… the proverbial “sewing machine”: best I’ve ever heard. And while I’m not an expert, he does have provenance to back up the claims about the movies this jeep has been in.
Nice jeep but, without combat rims and original 6-volt military style voltage regulator, generator, a little high in my opinion.
