UPDATE: This appears to have sold. Was listed at $5000.
(07/15/2012) Still plenty of work left.
“You are looking at a 1942 Ford GPW military jeep. Restoration was started over 10 years ago and never completed. Motor, trans, transfer case, and axles have been rebuilt. The body is an aftermarket piece and sits on a very nice straight and rust free frame. Have most parts to complete (some not pictured) and will be included with the sale.”
Looks like a very early pre-war engine block
looks like this sold. Yeah, I agree; that does appear to have indents in the block.
