UPDATE: This sold quickly for $5000.
This looks like a great candidate for a restoration.
“This is a 1945 ford gpw military jeep. As far as I know it was only issued to the navy.It belonged to my grandfather who lived in northern Nevada (home of the top gun naval air base) where this jeep spent it’s entire life.It is a dry western vehicle as the pictures show,and has only a few rust-outs along the axe and shovel mounts.this was a radio jeep and so it has a power junction box on the pass. side.Has many accessories intact including: spare tire and mount,jerry can and mount,axe and shovel mount, ball hitch, pintle hitch, antenna power socket,rifle mount tabs,hand-operated windshield wipers, all gauges,data plates and knobs,black-out fender light,original jack,tire iron,and aux.starter crank and tow bar. also there are some new in box spare parts including timing gears and tune up kit.Unfortunately,there is a small crack on the water jacket side of the engine but all other parts of the running gear are good and as the pictures show most of the body including the floors, tool boxes, dash, seats, fenders, and wheel wells are almost immaculate. With a little work this jeep could be show quality. Send message through e-bay or call 1-775-442-0142. Also,I have a friend who is a pro auto shipper and has shipped this jeep before.He is very reasonable and can ship anywhere in the U.S. Thank you for looking!”
Wow, who ever bought this got a bargain for a complete, unmolested GPW!
I was quite pleased with this find 🙂
Dave you bought it?!
No no .. I meant I was pleased to find it in on eBay. Someone was selling it in an ‘other’ category, so I figured most people looking for jeeps wouldn’t have seen it.
I didn’t buy it. I have no room for extra jeeps at the moment.
