UPDATE: **SOLD** This is an early GPW sold on eBay.

“this Ford GPW was the 10,584th GPW built, and is one of the last ones made with a Willys frame. It has just been completely restored and has only four miles on it, it runs good but is some missing items like seat cushions, filterette, pioneer tools, oil can, canvas top, one J hook and some of the radio suppression straps. Most of the big parts are original and correct, and it has the original floorpans though they have been patched a little and the fuel tank well was replaced. The significant reproduction items on the jeep are the rear seat, spare tire rack, front bumper, air cleaner, horn, speedometer, oil/temp/amp gauges and data plates. Fenders, hood, windshield, fuel tank, front seats, radiator, grille, regulator, generator, fuel strainer and starter are original. The battery is new but not an antique style, it also has either period or new bolts in about three dozen places there should be F marked bolts, other than that this jeep is very correct. The jeep is registered non-op and has California plates and a clear title, it also comes with the original speedometer that should be repairable. The headlight switch is an original and has been not working correctly, it may have to be replaced if I can’t fix it in the next few days.

The tires are the repop Firestones, and all of the rims are original combat type, I do have a couple more radio suppression straps that are not in the photos that were installed later under the hood.

This is you chance to get one of the rarest GPWs made, in nice shape and ready for parades, reenactments or with some modest amount of parts and work a factory show jeep. If you have questions or would like more photos please ask, thanks for looking!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500

The jeep runs, but needs some work. It’s been used in movies.

“WW2 / WWII Army Jeep GPW. This Jeep runs and drives but still needs some work. It has 4 new tires, new seat covers and new gauges. This Jeep has been used in many movies and driven by multiple stars. It also comes with a spare tire, axe, shovel, jerry can and a pyrene fire extinguisher.”

(12/11/2012) The tool box covers look MB to me.

The engine is a 134 cid 4 cylinder flathead with new rings on standard bore.
Has 4 new wheel cylinders and master cylinder and new DOT5 silicone brake fluid
Has 12 volt alternator and battery
Engine starts and runs very well and holds 50 psi oil pressure and doesn’t’ overheat.
The grease seals have been replaced in transfer and front and rear differentials with new 90W
Replaced heat and fuel gauges and tank unit.
Has 5 combat wheels. Tires are weathered.
Repacked front and rear wheel bearings with new grease seals.
The Jeep body hasn’t been restored and needs hat channels under front floor. Also rust in the rear tool boxes.
All hoses and fan belt are new with anti-freeze in radiator. New water pump.
Has new fuel pump and tune up. All lights and horn work also. Has one electric wiper
Has new seat cushions front and rear.
The cab has cracks in one side window and right door; otherwise cab is solid

The transmission, transfer and 4 x 4 shifts and works good

This should make a good restoration. Lots of closeup pics; the buyer should have a very clear idea of what they are getting.

“Selling my 1943 Jeep GPW (at least it’s titled as a 43) Check VIN#, Frame # etc. to judge for yourself.

Engine # 95385
Frame # GPW 48799
Body # not found since glove box door is missing

This Jeep was sitting in a dry barn for the last 26 years
99% rust free

Rolls freely, all shifters work fine and clutch works. No brakes!I think the engine is just stuck from sitting so long. (I never tried to free it)

Check pictures closely, they tell the story.

I will include to the winning bidder a spare front 1/2 of the body for parts from another jeep.(has glove box complete in it, no tags) Sorry, no pictures of it.

“You are bidding on a 1943 Ford GPW Serial Number 95032 with a DOD of 2-1-1943. The jeep has matching frame and glovebox data plate. The motor is actually out of an amphibious Ford GPA jeep.

This jeep found it’s way to me a few years ago and came out of the Reno, NV area where it had sat in a hanger for the last 20-30 years. The jeep was incredibly intact and complete. Nearly all the hard to find parts were/are there including the original tandom tow bar, original f script rear seat, f script top bows, and a ton of the little stuff like the oil can bracket. Really it was kind of an unrestored barn find of a gem. Unfortunately it did not run, needed a couple of body repairs, and had a few extra coats of paint with the last coat not catalyzed properly leaving it with a cracked and gooey texture. So, it needed some work and paint . . .”
