UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1395
(07/19/20100 Well, it’s a running, driveable GPW with the original engine and tranny.
“This 1943 Jeep is actually made by Ford, not Willy’s. It has the original engine and transmission, and both have been rebuilt; it has a dual, locking transfer case, with low-range for some serious climbing ability; it has fairly new 35” tires; it has a serious “roll cage” for great protection; it has a drop-down tow bar for easy towing; it has an “Ooga” horn; and it was recently painted the eye-catching black and yellow pattern shown below. It’s street legal and off-road ready. Call and buy it if you want to have some major fun.”
Odd frame extension out front. Is it just me or is the window frame too vertical?
The extension out front appears to be for the tow bar .. but unsure why that is there …
Regarding the window frame — I agree it is very vertical. There was another jeep in Boise like this that was all yellow — but I can’t find any pics of it at the moment. I think it was in a Boise suburb and I saw it while driving around one day.
Looking at the towbar contraption closer, it appears that the whole extension may come off at the bumper. Still rather odd. As for the window, maybe they built the cage and didn’t compensate for the angle of the window.
