1942 GPW Central Oregon $5500

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

UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500.

(12/11/2012) The tool box covers look MB to me.

“This jeep has an Arctic Cold Weather Insulated Cab with Heater – A RARE FIND!!
The engine is a 134 cid 4 cylinder flathead with new rings on standard bore.
Has 4 new wheel cylinders and master cylinder and new DOT5 silicone brake fluid
Has 12 volt alternator and battery
Engine starts and runs very well and holds 50 psi oil pressure and doesn’t’ overheat.
The grease seals have been replaced in transfer and front and rear differentials with new 90W
Replaced heat and fuel gauges and tank unit.
Has 5 combat wheels. Tires are weathered.
Repacked front and rear wheel bearings with new grease seals.
The Jeep body hasn’t been restored and needs hat channels under front floor. Also rust in the rear tool boxes.
All hoses and fan belt are new with anti-freeze in radiator. New water pump.
Has new fuel pump and tune up. All lights and horn work also. Has one electric wiper
Has new seat cushions front and rear.
The cab has cracks in one side window and right door; otherwise cab is solid
This is not a restored vehicle and still needs some body work, but is fun to drive and use as is
Has a good Oregon title. Hasn’t been licensed in several years. Has tow bar on front bumper.
The transmission, transfer and 4 x 4 shifts and works good
Would consider selling the arctic cab alone for $500. This would lower the price of the Jeep
541-447-4647”

Bantam Trailer Lodi, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: News This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600

I thought this trailer might interest someone.

“I bought this trailer several months ago with the intent of doing a factory restoration. But its cutout tailgate was perfect for hauling dirt, gravel and those occasional Saturday trips to the dumps. So that’s what I used it for, but now I no longer have any use for it.

Email me your phone number and we’ll talk. Otherwise, don’t bother. I’m not being an ass, just simply trying to avoid scammers and tire kickers.

– Current Registration to my name
– Stored indoors for 50 years based on info from the previous owner
– Tows great
– Solid body, no rusts or holes
– Solid frame
– Modern hitch welded to the frame, but can be cleanly removed
– Tail gate cut, but original panel was used
– Solid Military-style Kelsey Hayes rims
– Frame and underside of body have untouched and unpainted original OD paint
– Exterior body has been primered, but a quick pressure wash revealed the original OD and what looks like a surplus number painted in yellow
– Attempted to reveal the USA number, but stopped. I’ll let the new owner bask in that glory.”

Year? GPW Secaucus, NJ $3000

UPDATE: Still Available

(10/17/2012) This ran a few years ago.

“Military Jeep (title reads “Ford”) circa World War 2. Kept dry and clean for the last 30 years,… but not before that, so it has, if better than most, typical rust issues. And we had it running just fine a few years back. $3,000 or trade for whatever. Tom, 201 406-5050.”

Roberto forwarded this link that appears to show the rebuilding of a wrecked M-151A2. My vietnamese is pretty weak (ok, non existent), so I have no idea what the thread’s text says.
