UPDATE: The GPW was reconditioned by Bechtel. It was listed at $7000 earlier this year. There also appears to be an early MB No-Glove-Box body.

I ALSO have early 41 or 42 willys that has the stamp on the rear minus motor and radiator i would sell as a bundle or i would really like to find someone who would like to have me do the restoration for them and he or she can decide what and how we should do everything.this would be better for me and you because i would sell it for less and you could restore it to your satisfaction and that would allow me to do work as this is what i love to do al;so 20% of the sale will go to DVOA thank you to all that have served and those still fighting today.call 918 966 3317 leave messg.call or text anytime 479 883 6839 Steven the 41 tub is one of the first 5k run”

This guy is a little off and quite rude. He says he’s going to put the tub and the gpw on eBay. He’s convinced he has a solid $5000 in the gpw
The frame is rusted out in one place and he’s not forthcoming with pictures of the front and back so I think it’s been modified for these bumpers.
Also the plates clearly give a 45 delivery date.
He told me I “either don’t know much or I can’t see the pictures.”
He wants half up front so he can do work on it and then sell it to you.
I’d stay away.
Thanks for the report Cole. The front frame rails look extended to me and the rear bumper has been replaced or altered with another piece of metal.
Hard to read, but to me the date of delivery looks like 02 15 43 and I believe that would be consistent with a vin of 95944.
The half up front thing sounds pretty odd.

This guy (Trent) is a con artist / thief and a total loser. If you give him money up front you are asking for trouble. NEVER give him money until you see what you are buying in person or you will get ripped off! He is also hot headed so do go alone or unarmed.
