UPDATE: **SOLD** $6000 on eBay

This runs, but needs some work and isn’t entirely stock.

“This is an April 1942 Ford script GPW jeep. This is a good vehicle to enjoy as is, for reenactors, or do a Restoration on. I bought it as I just wanted something to drive instead of rip apart and never be able to finish. Makes a good combat class looking vehicle. The engine is out of a 1949 CJ 2. The transmission is still the original t84 and bell housing when I looked underneath still has a big ford script. The data plates are the original data plates delivered April 1942. The frame number matches the data plates. This has a clear clean Colorado title. The Jeep has been converted to 12 V charging system. All the gauges except fuel gauge work, even speedometer works. Included with the auction Ari set of original gauges that just have not been put in yet. Read more on eBay.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was eBay.

The engine runs.

“This is a rare Ford GPW script Jeep that has been here in California since going into active service in 1942. After stripping the paint off of the body I was pleasantly surprised to find an extremely straight and almost rust free body. The fuel well was rusted and will need to be replaced and a new fuel tank should be purchased also. The engine runs well with 40 pounds of pressure at idle while cold. It drives and shifts well but the brakes are dragging and will need to be gone through. Someone has cut a small area on the passenger side body as can be seen in the pictures, a steel plate was welded in place. Why that was done is a mystery, there’s no evidence of damage, just that this small area was cut out. Since stripping the paint off a few months ago there is minor surface rust which has formed on the bare metal that can easily be taken off. I had originally thought about doing a complete body off restoration. I decided to keep the minor ding on the leading edge of the front drivers side fender to keep some character showing that it had been there and done it some where many years ago. One thing is for sure that with a minimal amount of work and cost this rare WWII survivor could be back on the road in short order. I don’t know where or if it would be possible to find a better unrestored example of an early Ford GPW Jeep. I have a clear California title. The original ID tags have gone missing so assume that new ones will have to be affixed to the Jeep.”
