“For sale is my 1942 GPW, serial #16501, DOD 4/8/42
Jeep is about 95% restored, 100% cosmetic restoration with a few mechanical issues to resolve. Ready for whatever final markings you decide.

I bought this jeep from a friend’s dad that purchased it from the Gov’t post war, so I guess I’m the 3rd owner, I’ve owned it since 1993. In the early 2000’s I started a restoration. In 2004 I had the transmission and transfer case rebuilt , (At that time I purchased an overdrive with PTO that I did not install that is also for sale). In 2005 (after my 4th kid was born), I took the jeep to two jeep buffs for restoration. They both live near me in Northern Ca.


Over a period of about 4 years they completely restored the jeep to be correct per the date of delivery as far as possible (and $ allowed). After I got the jeep back in 2009, I did some touch up painting on the bolt heads, etc. but other than that the jeep has sat in my shop. I drive it up and down my street every month or so, but I’d really like the jeep to go to a good home that will use it and appreciate it.

    Wow… VERY nice. The only thing I could ding it on is an incorrect radiator… but that’s being picky on such a great GPW.
