No pics just yet.
“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.”
This looks pretty good from the pics.
“I have a 1942 Ford gpw. It’s a #s matching gpw. It runs great and goes anywhere It does need a wheel cylinder which I will buy if interested. It also has a snowplow attachment on it and it is power lift and does work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
The seller seems to be knowledgeable.

I’ve seen the name ‘Willys’ murdered, but maybe never as badly as this seller has. The title for the ad is “1941 jeep wyllis”
“exellent condition call for info or text 805 861 81 36”
I”m not sure if this runs or not.
“1942 Ford (Script) GPW, # 2029, DOD 3/2/1942. Stored in barn for last 12 years, in great shape with little rust. I do have 2 engines (1 mostly complete extra) I do have all 3 plates stored inside in fair shape but need cleaning. I have several pics and would gladly send. I will not deliver vehicle, you will need to make arrangements.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000.

“Runs good! May need new battery and carb flush.This is a 1943 U.S. Navy issue Ford Jeep. It is in good condition and has not been driven in lasts 2 years.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
Engine not original, but looks pretty good.
“1943 Army jeep, 4×4 , 1970s 4 cyl eng so its easy to get parts when needed rest is original. Restored for WWII reenacting and in tv/movies.Has a custom towing setup that makes it possible to attach to your hitch and go.Fun ride full of history great for off roading.Email with any questions.thanks”
It runs, but the carb needs some work. I love the old school roll bar.
“I have a running 1944 Ford GPW war jeep. Flathead 4 cyl, three speed and is 6 volt. It comes with 5 split open combat rims and operations/repair manual. Could be a great restore project or use it as a farm vehicle as I did. It will need a tune up, new carb or rebuild and probably flywheel reground and clutch plate. It does run but because of the carb it’s a little hard starting.
I’m looking to trade for an old ford 8n/9n or similar tractor with PTO & 3 point that I can use around the farm. Its okay if it needs a little work done, but should run.
If interested call and leave a message @ (541) 325-6613 or email.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
“have 1945 jeep been stored 26 yrs. military has canvas top and doors extra wheels 99 % all there will run (running when parked) 2700.00”
