“jeep runs and drives needs brake work and gas tank engine is good and drive train the body needs either new rear panels or a new tub. Top is like new. My son and friend took the pics i don’t have a camera so this is all the pics that will be taken so if you’re interested come look, I was going to restore it because it was my dad’s but just don’t have time”
Interesting sun shade on front of the windshield. The sticker in the back driver’s side corner suggests this was a California jeep at one time.

“My grandfather restored the jeep in the early 80’s. Runs great.”
This is only 2WD for some reason. Maybe it is related to the automatic transmission?

Listed as a 1945, It appears later than that. No description provided.
It’s powered with an f-head. It appears to need work.

“Very rare! Runs and drives. Great project for someone with more time than I have. Brand new battery, brakes need attention, does come out of high and low while driving, (I use wire to keep it in gear while driving). First with cash in hand takes it away! $6000 or best offer, no low ballers, serious buyers only.”
It’s a project.

“Bought with dreams!! Had sandblasted and the metalwork is beyond my knowledge, and can’t afford to pay someone. Saddened, but want out of my site. Have lots of parts and has a super hurricane engine. No front windshield, but safelight makes one for it. Have the title. Bought as a rolling chassis and engine was in the bed. It is not locked up, but have no clue if it runs. I will get more pics today”
UPDATE: **Still Avaialble**
The 1945 has the correct windshield and rear free floating hubs for a 1945 model. The other is likely later than 1945.

Bill shared this Hagerty article about the jeep history: https://www.hagerty.com/media/car-profiles/the-appeal-of-the-willys-jeep-knows-no-borders-no-barriers/
As a general history it isn’t too bad, though the author mistakes patents for trademarks in several cases. One photo caught my eye that I don’t remember seeing was taken in 1944 in Paris France. In the photo, a jeep is parked in front of Restaurant L’Ambassade.
After some sleuthing, I figured out the address is 18 rue Norvins, 75018 Paris France. The restaurant changed names at some point to Restaurant Le Consulat. It’s located in the heart of France in the Montmartre area, not far from Moulin Rouge and the Arc de Triomphe. Google Earth wouldn’t let me get positioned where I wanted, but I got fairly close to the original camera angle.
You don’t get the sense from this photo, but the location is at a juncture of several roads. Here’s an overhead screen shot.
UPDATE IV: “J” was able to locate and purchase one of these rare sandman GPVs.

UPDATE II: After 10 plus years, we finally have a photo of an actual GPV Volkswagen-jeep! Thanks to Jay for sending this photo. I hope we can get some more!
=========================
UPDATE Jan 18, 2013: I found a second brochure that identifies this as a Sandman GPV
Has anyone ever heard of this Volkswagen/jeep model? It doesn’t seem to be a VEEP. Other searches yielded nothing about this unusual rig.

BROCHURE #2

Nate’s selling his 1956 CJ-5 Farm Jeep. You can contact him via email at natebms @ aol.com (remove spaces around the @). This includes a rare KS 0-8 speedometer, a ventilating windshield, and other unique items.
“The engine, transmission, transfer case and axles were all rebuilt by the previous owner. Brakes were upgraded to 10″ drums at the same time. I have a clean title in my name for it. Comes with some spare parts and original seats. I rebuilt the lift cylinder 3 years ago. Most of the original top bows are there. Also has a 90 degree belt pulley. Has the rarest of the three points lifts, a Stratton hitch.There is a Novi governor on the engine, which is not hooked up. The only rust is the hat channel behind the spare tire. Asking $18000 or best offer. Located in Massachusetts.”
Despite the sauna-like temps, and with ice-water-bottles in front of my sho- fan blasting at full speed, I nearly completed the wiring (a couple things left to do). The principal goal was to secure it to the firewall to limit movement while racing, which should keep connections intact and stop cables from rubbing to bare wire. (On the yellow race jeep I could see where the battery cable had rubbed through the protective outer layer at some point, then it had been patched).
I decided to add a second jumper connection which solely handles the lights. I’ve now got most of the wiring in place in case I want to later add headlights and turn signals. I still need to add a switch to power the gauge lights and rear driving lights (in case I need them for some reason). I also didn’t think about adding a fuse for the rear lights until just now .. oops.
Ann helped me put the body into place to make sure the wire dropped under the lip of the cowl from the rollbar:
This looks in great shape. It has the wrong grille lights in the front and a customized rear PTO bar. Includes a rear PTO, gear box, and part of a rear drum pulley(?).

Yesterday, we had our only heat spike of the season, with temps hitting, but thankfully nothing like 2021 and temps of 116! Today will be 107, followed by around 104 tomorrow. Saturday, the highs will drop to a comfy high 80s. So, without air conditioning in the shop, not much progress will be made.
I’m currently working through this rats nest and how I want the new wiring junction atop the firewall to be strung. The firewall top sits up to 1.5″ under the cowl in places, so no wires have to go through the wall. There’s also not much rewiring to be done, as I didn’t have to make many changes.
The remaining floors are about ready to be reinstalled, but I want to make sure everything else is in place before I add them.
Oops. I was 2″ short on my fuel line. I replaced a rubber hose at the fuel pump side, which gave me enough room to attached this valve.
UPDATE: I originally posted this being in NY, but it’s actually in Michigan. I assume that was my error.

Sounds like seller would prefer to trade. It appears to be 2WD. I see no reason to think this was a DJ-3A at some point, but I’ll add it to that category anyway.
