“This GPW was purchased in a fundraiser auction in Creston, MT in 2006. It was a mismatched pile of rusty parts, winning bid; $400. When my Dad saw that the delivery date of this GPW was Monday, May 4th 1942 and his delivery date (birthday) was May, 25th 1942, he had to have it. After some repairs and a quick camouflage paint job, the Jeep was back on the road for the first time since 1976. He drove it in parades and be-bopped around town, using it to raise awareness of MIA/POWs around the world.

In the fall of 2011, my Dad gave the GPW back to me and what started as replacing rusted out sheet metal became a complete tear down and reconstruction. There are two histories represented here; the WWII military history as well as the early days of recreational
off-roading. It has been a careful balancing act to stay true to both.
When soldiers came home from WWII, they loved the Jeeps that had served them so well. Since there were so many, the US Goverment began selling them as surplus. A Jeep could be purchased for as little as $99. This Jeep was probably stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Mt. It was sold to a farmer in eastern Montana.
In the surplus years, these little Jeeps were used for everything from plowing fields to taking the family to town. Soon competitions began to see who’s Jeep could climb the biggest hills, fiord the deepest streams, crawl through the stickiest mud. Many were used as trail rigs or for hunting. The Jeeps began being “upgraded” to perform better.
This Jeep was most-likely an early off-roader, as the 60hp Go-Devil 134 L-head engine was replaced with the Hurricane 72hp OHV 134 F-head engine. The old “bell crank” steering system was replaced with Saginaw power steering from a 50s Buick. A “full-range” overdrive was added to enable the Jeep to be driven faster than 50mph, plus giving the Jeep 21 forward gear combinations along with 3 reverse gear combinations. All of these changes are consistent with the early days of recreational off-roading.
At some point this Jeep had been rolled as the windshield, hood and grill had been replaced with CJ2a parts (stamped “Willys”). The correct “9 slat” GPW grill has now replaced the
(7 slat) CJ2a grill.
During the winter of 2011-2012, it was decided that the build should be restricted to just replacing what was broken and repairing what existed. The floor pan was replaced as well as any rusted through spots in the body. No dents or body damage were repaired, an attempt to stay true to off-road history, so no body filler was used. Due to 70 years of poorly executed welding, all 4 frame corners were cut out, fish-plated and reinforced and a new front bumper was built. The charging system was upgraded to 12v and lighting to HID headlights and LED tail lights.
The Jeep had been painted many different colors over the years, from the original OD green to tan, to blue to red and then camouflage back in 2006. The original OD green was chosen for this rebuild. After many hours of research, the correct hood numbers were obtained and stenciled back on the hood and stars placed in the correct locations on the body.
The aftermarket wheels were retained and painted OD green like the military counterpart. The old school “terra” tires were replaced with modern steel belted radials of similar height as the military NDT (Non-Directional Tread) tires but the width of the “terra” tires I purchased it with.”
