Old MB/GPW Rusting Away
UPDATE: JW correctly pointed out there are TWO Prince of Wales Islands in the world (perhaps more??). The jeep shown below is located on the Australian Prince of Wales Island, which sites just south of Papau New Guinea (I erroneous thought it was in laska)
This old right-hand appearing jeep was found on the Prince of Wales Island in 2013 and published at Going Strait. Not much salvageable here.

1944 GPW St. Louis, MO **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
While the seller believes this is the original hardtop, according to the bottom of this 3B page the hardtop below was specifically built for civilian jeeps. It should have a tag identifying it as an “Arctic Top” and the manufacturer as Metro Engineering and Manufacturing Co. of Detroit, Michigan. The jeep sure appears solid.
“It has an original hardtop on it. It has 4 combat wheels with new 600-16 military tires. It runs and drives good and stops good. Frame and body match and motor stamped gpw. The body isn’t terrible but has a few places that could be fixed. All in all it is a nice jeep. It has a clear Missouri title. If you have any questions please call.”
