1942 GPW Temecula, CA **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(01/02/2011) This appears to have an unusual bar on the passenger side spanning across the rear wheel well.
“I have the title in hand, with current registered black plates.
This is a nice old jeep. It has a Willys MB hood. This was one of the first Ford keeps made. The frame serial number is GPW 10792* (yes it is a star, not a missing number) The body does not have a serial number, which is correct for the early 42 jeeps. The motor serial is 171304, so it isn’t the original motor but it is still the correct L134
It has a Volvo gas tank behind the seats in the cargo area. The steering column and seats are vw.
The body and undercarriage are solid.
I had the starter rebuilt last year.
Has locking/non-locking front axle so it can be towed. Also has light hookup like a trailer for towing.
Has a black top and doors that come with it.
The bad- I had ezlube change the oil and 2 months later, I found out the oil had been leaking out of the drain plug. I found out when the motor stopped running. This just happened in mid August. Prior to this, I had put a new battery in it and used it daily for a 12 mile commute. Tranny and 4wd work great.”

“1943 Ford GPW This is in great shape NO rust holes all original . I have a regestration for this that came from California in 1961. I restored a 1942 for my daughter and thought I would do this one too, but I am more into the Willys jeeps, So this one has to go . You won’t find one this nice !!! The problem is the motor is set-up. I got the head off and haven’t gone any farther. The more time I put in to it the price goes up. Please serious calls only. $ 4750.00 Or best offer. (989) 576-1351. Thanks. Chris. Pictures will follow soon.”
