1945 Ford GPW $10,000 Las Vegas, NV

Craig sent this over via email, it is cross posted on Willys for Sale and there is contact info on that ad see below for link to that. It’s a pretty cool rig that has been with him since he was 12, so its been through some adventures with him and his family along the way which is really cool. The modifications make sense for a trail rig that they used to explore all over the CA Sierras and then moved to Nevada. The rig will need some work, brakes and rough idle. If you needed additional info I can pass that on email, you can email post@ewillys.com Thank you for checking this one out.

Information from seller:

This “sporterized” GPW has been in my family for 60 years. I learned how to drive this jeep when I was 12 years old in 1968 and drove it when I was in high school. We used it for hunting in the Sierras and my father kept it until 2010 when he could no longer drive. I’ve had it since, first in California and now in Nevada. I’m now too old to work on it, so it’s time to let another MB/GPW enthusiast take it!

Here are the modifications:

Engine: 1973 Ford Pinto 2.0 liter 4-cylinder

Electrical: 12V conversion throughout, tachometer, new battery and starter solenoid

Drive train: T90 with Warn overdrive, Cutlas Power Lock Hubs in front (turn rotating screws with screwdriver to engage FWD), 4:11 gears in rear differential

Fuel: Electric fuel pump, 20-gallon custom gas tank under rear seat, original fuel tank was removed due to corrosion. Valve in place for switching between front and rear tanks.

Brakes: Wheel cylinders and lines have been rebuilt; Tow bar has mechanically activated brake cylinder to add jeep braking along with tow vehicle.

Tires: BF Goodrich LT 235/75R15 tires and spare are like new

Accessories: Warn winch, Sun tarp and full soft top with frame, motorized windshield wipers, AM radio, Ash tray, Gun rack, Roll bar, Seat belts

Known issues: Master cylinder needs rebuild; brakes work but need fluid top-off every year. Carburetor needs rebuild – rough idle.

GPW

Information from seller:

1943 Willys MB GPW! This is a legit WWII GPW, it’s a project as the engine is currently seized and needs to be replaced. (Facebook doesn’t have an option for Willys)

It has a F-Head engine swapped in from a newer Jeep, but its locked up tight. The drivetrain is stock, otherwise.

It has a custom half-cab from a ’31-32 Ford pickup, custom hard doors, a bench seat and hood bump to clear the carburetor on the F-Head. The body is in pretty decent condition, despite looking pretty poor. There is some rust in the floor out back.

Comes with a near new GM 181 4 cyl industrial engine, it’s a torque monster and would fit with a factory hood. Along with the 181, I have a GM SM465 manual transmission. It would be a more modern, powerful engine with a deeper geared, beefy transmission. Great combo for a Willys!

I’m reluctant to let this one go, you don’t find GPW’s very often anymore. I do have a title for it, no trades, price is firm. Located in Grand Junction on the Redlands.

This is a running project.

UPDATE: Still Available.

(9/21//2023) I expect the seller is offering to sell a title left over from another jeep for $300.

“1943 Ford GPW with a stuck ford 6cyl. Original body frame and data plates. Comes with bill of sale, title available for an extra 300”

This seems worth a look. It could use a few more parts than just a starter (like air filter parts).
