UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
(12/20/2015) It’s a project.
“For Sale or Trade: This is a WWII GPW Ford Script Jeep manufactured on May 11, 1942 with a low production number. It has survived with it’s serial number and instruction plates still intact and will have a clean Kentucky Classic Car title. We just pulled it out of the weeds and don’t have it cleaned out yet, so I’m not sure what parts are there or if the serial numbers match. It does roll and steer and seems pretty solid. There is body damage just below the “Ford” script area, but I believe a good sheet metal fabricator could repair it. The metal is basically solid all around the tub. The floor pans are bad, I would say. As you can see in the pictures, there are small “fender skirts” over the rear wheels. These are very solid and appear to be factory but could be an add on. The dash and instrument gauges are intact and look pretty good. I’ll add more info and upgrade the pictures when we get it cleaned up. Asking $1450 for this unusual find…..Would love to see this rare piece of U.S. military history from the Great Generation restored to its war-time glory and rolling down Main Street America in a 4th of July parade!”
Looks like it could have been one of Pattons jeeps
Hello Hugh. What do you mean by “could have been one of Pattons jeeps”?
Mike, you can google Patton jeeps to see pics. of his modified jeep. Thats what is so interesting about jeeps, you never know who modified jeeps, when and why!
HA! I learn something every day. Very interesting. Thanks!
Post war rear axle.
Has the optional m38A1 Grille too! This would be a real challange to restore.
Frame is toast. GPW head on CJ engine.
I’m seeing real value here: body certainly looks like a Patton jeep… and it’s a Ford script tub, consistent with its serial number and date of delivery. It’d be a huge project, but so was my later ’42 GPW and this one has more potential “after” value.
NOW JUST $950 OBO… and I forgot to mention the early military solid rims (at least that’s what it looks like: the ones without slots, before the combat rims).
Wish this was in AZ… I’d ask for this as my Valentine’s Day gift 🙂
How do I contact the seller?
Scott,
Looks like it sold. I’ve updated the post.
