UPDATE: **SOLD ** Was $2000

The tub appears to be from an M-38.

“1944 jeep willys military model in the middle of a restoration, one of the earlier models that was produced by ford. All the parts are there. Got the jeep from a friend who had it running a couple months ago, then tore it apart to start restoring it. I got it in a trade and have no interest in jeeps. The tubs in great shape no rust and mostly original parts. It has the original flathead 4 cylinder. Will throw in black steel rims for right price. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This appears to have a fairly rare Higgins remanufacturing data plate. The seller doesn’t list a location.

“If you’ve been looking for a great project, you’ve found it. I have a very nice 42 GPW for sale. Although not matching numbers, it does have the original data tags on the glove box that match the frame vin on the frame. The jeep is titled under the GPW vin on the engine. Excellent project if you are looking for an early jeep. It does have some rust but very little for its age. Jeeps in this condition with very little modification are getting harder and harder to find. Just came out of about two decades of storage. I will consider slat grill parts as partial trade. Please ask all questions before bidding.”

It’s a project.

“This is a 1944 ford GPW, which needs a total restoration. It has been restored several times before, looking at the different layers of paint I see evidence of a bright green and red paint job under olive drab layers. Possibly a “follow me” jeep from the local air base but I have no idea. It does have a grey GPW motor, which is interesting in that motor pool motors were painted green so this may be original. There are no data plates on the body but I did purchase a set that will go with the Jeep. I would replace the floor in this Jeep at minimum, but a replacement tub would be the easiest way to go. I have some small parts that the winner is welcome to.

It is missing the radiator and air cleaner stuff also grab handles and the like. What you see is what you get. and of course this is as-is where-is. I can deliver in New York or Penn for a fee, I can assist in loading.”
