2013 Military Vehicle Show at Falcon Field

• CATEGORIES: Event, Features, GPW (Ford MB), M-38, MB This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Major Joe forwarded some pics from the 2013 Military Vehicle show at Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ. There were quite a few jeeps at the event.  Thanks for sharing!

He wrote, “I attended the annual Military Vehicle show at Falcon Field here in Mesa Saturday (had to find another way to get my Willy’s/Flat fender fix since your site was down!). Anyway, I thought I’d share the pics with you (attached). It’s a great event, and included military motorcycles, dozens of non-jeep vehicles, a half track, helicopter, and many aircraft (always on display since this is the home of the AZ chapter of the Commemorative Air Force).”

I’m generally pretty good with match, but I can’t figure out how the matching numbers on this jeep match. The rear of the body looks dented inwards.

“Great Project
Matching numbers
Frame # GPW183017
Body # 17539
Engine # 1830172
New Battery
Four 15 inch Rims included ( Odd ball 13 inch on the jeep now)
I got it running but it’s been sitting for a few months, had to use a gas can because tank is rusty but could be repaired.
Previous owner had the running gear gone thru, you’ll have to look at it to decide.

This has matching numbers.

” 1942 Ford GPW, 4X4, Clear title. Matching Numbers.
Jeep has been parked inside a attached garage for nearly 20 years. Runs and drives. Windshield in good condition with no chips or cracks. Transmission has recent rebuild.. 4×4 works great. There is a noise while in first gear still not sure whats causing it. Quite in second and third.  Exterior body has been sanded down to bare metal to search for bondo and rust except for rear of the jeep, and then sprayed with primer to prevent surface rust. Two small rust areas on each side and in tool box area. Comes with brand new shocks, and a bumper bracket to replace one that is broke (Pictured). New fuel pump. Rear diff has been removed cleaned resealed and painted and reinstalled. New U Joints in front drive shaft. Tires hold air but will need to be replaced. Transfer case was separated and inspected while trans was out, and everything internal looked good. Leaking gear oil slowly I believe it is at a gasket on the transfer case.
Any questions call or text at (254) 749-8837″

UPDATE: This is listed on eBay.  More pictures added.

(02/01/2013) With the dogs and the cage, this could have been an old racer.

“1942 WW2 Ford GPW (Jeep) with matching S/N# GPW 82585 on frame, engine, and title. Clear Ohio title in my name. Needs restoration. The engine does turn over. It has a T90 transmission with the original syle transfer case. I bought it to restore but I’ve can see I’ll never get to it because I have too many other of projects. The tub needs new floors and sheet metal work. It’s been cut out for a tailgate. Obvious rust for its age. Front end, hood to dash look pretty good. From dash back will need work. Many “F” marked parts. I do have another better GPW tub that I am including in this auction. In the picture it is on a running gear that has been sold. The sale includes the red tub (only) and the 1942 GPW.

These are pictures when I bought it. I cleaned it up some and took off the roll cage and most civilian parts. I’ve got more pictures but couldn’t find them right now. The jeep is in storage, and I’ll have to pull it out to take more pictures.

I am selling this as is and am happy to answer any questions and send more pictures. Call: 937-862-4182

I can load this on your trailer.”

2 Modified GPWs Big Island, HI **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000

Another couple of Hawaiian ‘boat-like’ jeeps, built to carry large loads near Kona and Captain Cook, HI. These may be the same ones listed here for $950 two years ago.

“Have a pair of jeep willys. They were made by ford, gpw, but same as jeep willys. One has a title. My plan was to restore them using, but we have no time. It will be a big project, there is plenty rust and body work will need to happen. I have loads of extra parts, leaf springs, axles, carberators, axle housing, generators, steering column, water pump, buckets of bolts, odd pieces, think even a transfer case, and maybe transmission; enough parts to fill a pickup bed. Jeeps ran when parked, stil on 6 volt system. Have been covered along with parts. Were used in Kona on a coffee farm since sold to civilian. I bought them 2 or 3 years ago. Then wife decided to have me build a home and start farming. Just no time. Would be a great project. Check out the value thes hold once restored…crazy prices. Just need to get rid of them. They are not driveable, will need trailer. I have trailer but not much available time”

This project is a fiberglass body on MB/GPW running gear.

“I have a 1942 cj2a for sale. It has a buick v6 motor with a sm465 transmission and a dana 20 transfer case. It is a fiberglass body with a nice red paint job. it is a little bit of a project, the electrical is 90 percent done all that is left is all the wiring for the gauges. the motor turns over and it will start. the linkage for the transmission and pedals still needs to be hooked up and it needs a gas tank, I have a gas tank that will go with it but its not a direct fit. the shallow exhaust manifold is mounted so it clears the steering rod. i bought it from a guy who had 5 other jeeps and didn’t have the time to work on this one. it has 32 inch bfg all terrains. The vehicle is currently non-op. with a little more time it would be a head turner. i am entering the chp academy soon and this is my third vehicle. feel free to come look at it and make an offer. 530 906 4645”

1942 GPW Eastern King County, WA $1400

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

UPDATE:  Price now $1400.

(01/18/2013) There appears to be some value here.

“1942 Ford GPW, made 9/’42. I’ve had this a number of years thinking I might want to restore or build one more flat fender jeep, but it’s time to move onto other things. I’m selling the last of my jeep stuff as one lot.

TO BE CLEAR. I WILL NOT SELL THE COMBAT RIMS OR ANYTHING ELSE SEPERATELY, ALL OR NOTH42.

The frame is uncut, and straight. The frame horns are in good shape front and rear. The axles look to be the originals. The torq reaction plate is also still there. The front tow bumper is just bolted on, and the frame horns and gussets are OK underneath. It will come with a new repro front bumper also.

The Tub is solid and straight, it’s NOT a perfectly fully restored tub, but the work that was done in its past left it with solid metal floors, solid straight quarters, and tool boxes. good fuel tank well, there is a skim coat of bondo in various places, but it’s a good useable 71 year old tub, and the dash isn’t all hacked up..

The bad news is it’s pretty much a rolling shell, no drivetrain, no title (bill of sale) electrics, etc. . .. It’s how I got it. But if you have a rusty or wrecked donor this would make a restoration or build up much easier.

All the parts included are in the pictures. There are 3 original 16″ combat rims, a good T-90 transmission, 5 gallon fuel cell, good f-134 head and crank, original steering wheel, a good 1945 GPW frame,. . . etc. I HAVE NO OTHER PARTS FOR SALE

$1,400 ………… I would trade for 1958-66 VW bug project, Fiat 124 spider or coupe project, or Diesel or gas powered military generator , working condition (must make both 1 & 3 phase AC 110/220, 10 to 20 KW only) . The type of car I will take in trade is relatively solid and straight, mostly complete, and with a clear title, I am willing to deal with some rust and body damage, dead or alive. NO OTHER TRADES WANTED. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .

Thanks,
Call 425-591-5473 or e-mail….”
