1945 GPW Lumberton, TX **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000

‘I have for sale a beautifully restored World War II original Army jeep. This is the real thing! Not a civilian version but an actual war production jeep! It is a GPW made by Ford on a contract during the war using the Willys design.
This jeep needs nothing but a driver. I’ve owned it for 6 years now and enjoyed ever minute of it. The ONLY reason I’m letting it go is because I need the money for another project that I’ve found.
This jeep has everything! It has a new canvas top hot summer days. It has a new canvas windshield cover for blackout operations, along with new canvas headlight and mirror covers for blackout operations. The blackout light do work. This jeep has all of the accessories: fire extinguisher, oil can, first aid kit, shovel, axe, gas can, water can, rifle rack, and tow rope. The tires are so new they even still have most of the rubber nipples on them!
I also have a 37mm anti tank cannon axle that I was going to build a replica of and tow behind the jeep for display. These are very hard to find because most of them were cut up after the war. This axle is complete from hub to hub and only had couple of brackets cut off of it during the demilitarizing process from the government. I also have 2 wiring harnesses to go with the axle that were used to clamp the tail lights onto the barrel of the cannon during transport.
If you buy the jeep I will add in the axle and wiring harnesses with clamps and tail lights at no additional charge. Other wise I will sell the axle for $700 alone with the harnesses.
I d have a free and clear title for it in NC.”

1942 GPW on 1947 Chassis Arlington Heights, IL $15,000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, GPW (Ford MB) This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Looks like a good parade jeep.

“1942 Ford Script tub on a ’47 CJ2A frame and motor. The hood number is an educated estimate appropriate for an early GPW based on reference materials.

* New brake systems: rebuilt master cylinder, wheel cylinders, all new steel lines, flex hoses, and shoes/hardware.
* New distributor, cap, rotor, points, condenser, ignition coil, spark plug wires, spark plugs.
* New Solex carb.
* New wiring harness. ALL NEW WIRING. Everything works the way it’s supposed to.
* Lots of misc.: Horn, new gas tank sump well and all new fuel lines, fuel filter (correct type), frame bump-stops, glove box door data plates, re-packed wheel bearings, new oil filter housing, new black out lights, tail lights, light switch, ALL NEW GAUGES, hand brake works, dash lights are correct, ignition. switch correct, new glass for windshield frame, F-script on most major parts, NEW SHOCKS, & more….

This is a turn-key restoration. The tub is still rough in spots but it is an original Ford script – VERY RARE tub. Perfect for re-enactors. There is a summer top for it as well.

Asking $15,000. Runs like new and very spirited.
Serious inquiries only. Can deliver locally within reason. Jeep is in NW suburbs of Chicago.”

Jeeps @ the California Automobile Museum

• CATEGORIES: Features, GPW (Ford MB), Museums This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The California Automobile Museum (location) in Sacramento has at least three. I have been there yet, but it might be a potential stop on our California tour in March. The M-38 and CJ-2A were photographed by Jack Snell in August of 2013 (more great jeep photos by Jack in his photo stream).

This 1951 M-38 looks good:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.

(04/02/2013) This is supposed to have an early serial number: #19984.

“1942 ww2 jeep gpw-19984
Have pink and is currently on non-op
Still has original style T-84 transmission
Tub is pretty rusty and someone skinned the back half with sheet metal, I removed the back part
Previous owner said the motor was rebuilt shortly before he bought it and he didn’t get much use out of it before the brakes went out
Brakes need to be gone through and fixed, currently it is rigged up where just the fronts work
Oil pan was dropped and cleaned out (which ended up being pointless) when I got it before I got it running
Has been converted to 12 volt, just put a brand new battery in it
Starts, runs, and shifts great
Would make a great restoration project
$2700 obo”

Not perfect, but may be a good entry GPW.

“945 WWII Jeep GPW
Almost all original 1945 Jeep GPW, this Jeep has all it’s extremely hard to find original drive train and it runs great and drives. The Jeep is in good shape for being 73 years old, I was in the process of restoring it to all original but the garage is getting too crowded with 6 Jeeps so I need to thin the herd out a little.
This Jeep is perfect for an all-out off the showroom floor restoration or the way I was going to do it where it is back to original but with some original patina so you’re not afraid to take it out and play with it.
It has a New reproduction fuel tank in it, New pinion seals, New paint, New hood blocks, New reproduction shipping plate, all New oil’s, New battery and New windshield catches.
It also has the original mounting in the floor/frame for the .30 cal machine gun mount.”
