UPDATE: **SOLD** Was  on eBay

(05/18/2012) Nice looking jeep though.  There is another rolling chassis behind it, too.

“I have known this jeep since 1971. High school friend of mine drove it when we worked at Kroger’s (1971-1974), he drove it to High School. I rode in this Jeep many times when I was younger. His family owned it from the late 1950’s until my Dad bought it around 1998-2001. Body, motor and all major parts are original to this jeep. My friend’s dad bought it from the WV Dept of Highways Surplus sale in the late 1950’s-early 1960’s and used it on his farm. When he bought it, “Corry Naval Base” was stenciled on the cowl, this is how it was when the State of WV received it after the war. I believe this Naval Base is in Florida(Pensacola I believe). I have receipts of paint and body work alone, that total over $16,000…not counting other work, that was done to the jeep.”

This isn’t entirely stock, but looks solid.

“WW2 Willys Jeep 1943. Nothing but the best for this beauty, it has always been under cover, 95% original parts and 100% original paint, very little use. It has been running constantly the last 20 years. Please write if you are interested. Asking Price $16,000 or Best Offer.”

“I have a WW2 1942 Ford GPW for sale. The overall condition is good but this is a restoration vehicle not a turn key. The engine and most other components were rebuilt last year and it was running until recently when the distributor failed. There is a new distributor include with the vehicle and all that remains is for the timing to be set. The vehicle comes with 2 combat rims, a brand new grill, original gauges, and several other restorable parts. There are small spots of rust but nothing that compromises the integrity of the vehicle.

This has a MB block with a GPW head.  It has no title.

“Take a look at this beautiful 1945 Ford GPW, serial number 247613, date of delivery January 1945. This jeep has undergone a frame off restoration and is perfect for parades, re-inactors, and collectors. This started out as a hunting camp jeep rescued from a camp in Gettysburg Pennsylvania two years ago.

It underwent a frame off restoration done by me over the past several months. I have owned over 24 jeeps and have restored about 17 of them, several MB’s, GPW’s and CJ’s have sold successfully on e-Bay.

The frame was in good shape but needed new front frame horns. It had the wrong body on it and the previous owner put in a civilian flat head L-head engine. The body and that engine were removed and a professionally rebuilt MB engine with a GPW head was put into this jeep as well as a new reproduction DL Bensinger Body.

Everything has been gone through on this jeep and everything has been cleaned, repainted, or replaced with new, NOS, or repro parts.

The title lists this as a Ford, but the wheel well lids don’t look GPWish.

“I am listing this military jeep for a friend. Asking price is $17,000 obo. Runs great, has been used the past few years in 4th of July parades in Baraga, Houghton, and Marquette (among other locations).  Please respond if you are interested or have any questions.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

This could have been purchased for $7000 on Craigslist, but the seller worded the ad title oddly (and the ad didn’t show up until this evening when I did some odd searching combos).  Now it’s on ebay and it has already hit $6744.

“Chassis no. 37594

Although forever associated with Willys-Overland, the original Jeep military vehicle was developed by American Bantam, formerly American Austin. Designed to meet the US Army’s requirement for a rugged, go-anywhere, four-wheel-drive vehicle capable of surviving on the barest minimum of unskilled maintenance, Bantam’s prototype Jeep was up and running by 1940, meeting the US Army’s requirements apart from the engine, which was deemed insufficiently powerful. The Pentagon, though, doubted Bantam’s ability to meet the military’s post-Pearl Harbor demands so the major contracts went to Willys – the only other firm that had submitted a tender – and the Ford Motor Company, which would be responsible for the Jeep’s trademark slotted radiator grille.

Willys made various modifications to take advantage of a revised maximum weight requirement, which meant it was able to use its relatively heavy but adequately powerful ‘Go Devil’ engine. It was in this revised form that the Jeep would enter volume production. Willys-Overland’s final production version was the Model MB, Ford’s being designated the Model GPW.

There were subtle differences between the two versions, Ford’s having its components marked with the letter ‘F’. After extensive field testing, the Jeep’s off-road capability was first publicly demonstrated early in 1941 when one was driven up the steps of the United States Capitol by Willys’s test driver, Irving ‘Red’ Haussman. Produced by the million, the ubiquitous Jeep saw service in every theater of the Second World War and continued in military service with armies world-wide for several decades thereafter. Today the Jeep remains highly sought after by discerning military vehicle enthusiasts.

This fully equipped GPW was the recipient of a frame-off restoration and has traveled only 750 miles since. Finished in USMC drab green with Navy/USMC markings, its has everything one could possibly need to storm Omaha, or East Hampton, beach. If the cell service is poor, fear not as a full radio, with microphone, speaker, headphones, antenna, and storage bag is installed on the driver side gunnel. When the going gets rough (or it cools off in the evening and a fire pit is needed), just grab the axe, shovel, rope, and jack stand to get the job done. And should an opposing group require some extra convincing, one need only point out the presence of the M31C machine gun mount with M1919A4 cradle or the M1 Garand (stock only, though) stowed in its leather scabbard along the windscreen.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

I’ll have to check my history, but I’m pretty sure ‘completely restored’ jeeps don’t have electric fans.  Looks in great shape though.

“1942 Ford Jeep. A special car for a special collector. This vehicle is completely restored. Must See to Appreciate. Add this gem to your collection! USA”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9200.

Looks like a solid GPW.
