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.”
