1942 GPW + GPW Body Waynesville, OH eBay

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

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.”

1948 CJ-2A Versailles, MO **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Still needs work.

“Selling a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A. This Jeep has been partially restored but still needs some wiring done, a windshield replaced, fuel tank cleaned and repaired, tires, and misc. The engine was running recently but has been sitting. It will turn over. I have not tried to start it. Most of the parts are there. The brakes are not working and may just need fluid. The origional wiring is still in place for the most part. The front floor is made from fiberglass and is strong and has been covered with carpet. There are some rust spots in a couple places but the frame appears to be solid. This vehicle was made 65 years ago and I can,t guarantee that all the parts are in perfect condition. I’m selling The Jeep “as is” with no promises. The running gear seems to be in good condition and rolls freely. It’s a good start on a nice little vintage 4X4 Jeep that could make your summer or winter much more fun. ”

1945 JeepRod Temecula, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Jeep Rods • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7995

“1945 Willys CJ2A. First civilian modle after the war. The body and chassis are OEM. On the body the front fenders are cut to allow for steering and the rear wheel wells tubs are shortened to allow leg room. The body is channeled 5″. The windshield is stock on the bottom and about a foot removed from the top, the pivot glass works, and it’s plastic not glass.
The chassis is lengthened 18″ and a 75 pinto front suspension attached. The cross member is the original cut out of the donor car and welded in and all the rest is stock pinto.
The engine is a Ford 302, I think out of a 78 T-bird, unknown actual miles (I bought it used out of a 27 T sedan), Trans is a C4 with a shift kit. The rear axle is a Ford 9″ from a 62 Galaxy.(it needs a posi to do good burnouts) It does have a burnout valve under the dash.
Steering column is a 63 Pontiac tilt. The brake pedal & master, shifter, parking brake are from the donor car. After market cruise control.
I’ve put 4300 miles on it and have fixed a few things as they showed up, mostly beefing thing up.
It weighs in at 2000 pounds, the engine is stock with dual fours (mostly for looks) home made zoomie headers and it runs very well. I’ve had it to 110 and ran out of cahonies not power. It also has a more conventional exhaust system if it should get ticketed, see pix.
There’s a lot of other small things about the car, to much to cover it all here. If you have questions please ask. If you want to see something specific I’ll send pix of what ever you want. I have pix of most all steps in the build.
This is a Traditional Hot Rod, aka: Rat Rod, no body work, no bondo, rust holes, chipped paint (what there is) and it’s all in flat black
600 miles is the longest road trip I’ve made, it gets about 16 mpg and no issues. Cruise control helps.”
