UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was eBay

This seems like a fine little jeep that’s a solid driver.  However, I’m not seeing the follow-me theme.  Am I missing something?

“1942 Ford GPW World War II military jeep. Yellow Follow Me Jeep.  1/4 ton 4×4. Serial number 65055. Build date 09/15/1942. Runs and drives with clear AZ title. Located in Mesa AZ. Has been in Military show and 4wheeling in desert”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $600

(08/07/2010) Brett found this project.  This jeep has seen some action (though not sure if the war or the owners caused more damage).

“RARE FIND!!! This is a 1943 FORD GPW Jeep. Serial #110254. It is missing the hood, grill, gas tank, and glass out of the windshield frame – otherwise complete. Worth a great deal more and a lot if restored. Body damage is minimal – normal for the age. It has a Willys Flathead motor. Motor turns over with a wrench – have never tried to get it fully running. Bought it as a set with a 2nd Ford jeep that I am using and so don’t need this one. Call for more info. Asking $600 OBO.”

Christian spotted this jeep with its unusual ‘battery box’.

“This posting is a 1943 WWII era jeep. Rare find for this particular year group. Drive train is in very god mechanical shape. Starts up and runs with ease and is frequently driven around our property. Specs on this jeep are: L-Head 4 cylinder Willy’s Jeep engine. 3 speed transmission w/reverse, Serial # – DPW111455. Gross weight 2,430 lbs. Date of Delivery to the War Department: 5-26-43. Included is the original fuel tank although it is not shown in the photos.

Willing to trade for an equal in value pontoon boat. Email and I’ll answer questions or give directions.”

UPDATE:  Dexter confirms that the seller is correct; it is a slatgrille.  However, it isn’t a GPW and it has the wrong grille.  That threw me off.  Dexter says the G503 site discussed this.

“I have a 1941 Ford GPW ( Ford made Willys MB). It has a lot of Slat Grill parts left on it and I verified this through G503.com a few years back. This Jeep is a little bit beyond my knowledge and experience for restoration but no doubt saveable. It has typical floor rust and will need a new pan. Its solid enough to stand on though. Has a CJ engine that ran and drove before I started tearing it down and it still cranks if you hook up a battery.  The rear end grenaded before I got it but it is Ford stamped. I’m slowly working on restoring it to a condition of one used in the field and will continue to but I don ‘t think I can do it justice. Its a Slat grill and should be restored by someone with more experience. Its got some typical “bubba” mods and additions but Ive already removed most of the hard stuff.”

UPDATE: UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“The title says the identification number is GPW118786. According to my research that makes it an F4. The date of deliver is 6/6/43. The serial number on the data plate, and the frame, and the title all match. The body is in very nice condition. It has a few dents here and there but nothing major. There is some rust under the drivers and passengers opening, but its not bad. Looking under the vehicle, the only rust that I can see is on the floor support channels where they installed wood inside, those are rusted, the rest of the floor however is not rusted through. Under the mats there is some rust but it cleans right up with some pitting left. The front bumper is a heavy bumper and is not original as far as I know. there is a heater installed on the passenger floorboard.

The engine is an F head engine, not original to this Jeep. The previous owner left a note with the titles that stated the engine was new and not used much. The engine is spotless, not a bit of oil build up on it. I had the engine running but the distributor bound up and broke. I have a brand new distributor that goes with the Jeep.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

No engine and little description.

“No engine, body is in fair condition.”
