Rosie the Riveter National Park in Richmond, Ca … Seeking GPW
Dave contacted me today about work he is doing with the Rosie the Riveter National Park. They would like to have a GPW as part of the exhibit.
He wrote, “We’re designing the Rosie the Riveter National Park in Richmond, CA, right next to the Ford plant that outfitted Jeeps for WWII. I’d like to include a 1940-1943 jeep in the exhibit; we could do some restore, but the really only need to have the shell/chassis…might even set it up to be in process of being outfitted (no wheels/tires, seats out, etc. Any leads on an appropriate example or someone you’d suggest contacting? Anyway to know if a vehicle came thru Richmond? Any help or suggestions helpful. Quite frankly, for our needs, it could be a repro shell as well…. not sure if they were painted in Richmond or whether there was a standard primer, etc.”
Based on his request and this link to olive drab, http://www.olive-drab.com/od_mvg_jeeps_overseas_shipping.php, I suggested he buy a non working GPW and dress it as a crated jeep, because, according to Olive Drab, 70% of Richmond’s Jeeps went out in crates.
If anyone knows more info about GPWs at the Richmond plant or knows of a non working GPW near the Bay area who might want to donate/sell to the project, leave a comment or email me and i will hook you up with Dave.

1953 CJ-3B Sheridan, WY **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
It is a project, but there may be some value here, especially if the engine starts after being wired correctly. There is also a parts CJ-3B for sale, too.
“I have a 1953 willys jeep here I was working on it for about a month and decided that I wasn’t one of the best people to work on it. The engine turns over but it doesnt start because I didnt have all the electrical hooked up. The transmission shifts into 1st and reverse but not 3rd or 2nd. The transfer case will need work to have the rear drive line put on but it shifts into high and low and in and out of 4wd. It comes with two brand new seats that were redone. The windsheild has a chunk missing out of it.”
