1945 Ford GPW $10,000 Las Vegas, NV
Craig sent this over via email, it is cross posted on Willys for Sale and there is contact info on that ad see below for link to that. It’s a pretty cool rig that has been with him since he was 12, so its been through some adventures with him and his family along the way which is really cool. The modifications make sense for a trail rig that they used to explore all over the CA Sierras and then moved to Nevada. The rig will need some work, brakes and rough idle. If you needed additional info I can pass that on email, you can email post@ewillys.com Thank you for checking this one out.
Information from seller:
This “sporterized” GPW has been in my family for 60 years. I learned how to drive this jeep when I was 12 years old in 1968 and drove it when I was in high school. We used it for hunting in the Sierras and my father kept it until 2010 when he could no longer drive. I’ve had it since, first in California and now in Nevada. I’m now too old to work on it, so it’s time to let another MB/GPW enthusiast take it!

Engine: 1973 Ford Pinto 2.0 liter 4-cylinder
Electrical: 12V conversion throughout, tachometer, new battery and starter solenoid
