1943 GPW Arnold, MO on eBay

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This should make a good restoration. Lots of closeup pics; the buyer should have a very clear idea of what they are getting.

“Selling my 1943 Jeep GPW (at least it’s titled as a 43) Check VIN#, Frame # etc. to judge for yourself.

Engine # 95385
Frame # GPW 48799
Body # not found since glove box door is missing

This Jeep was sitting in a dry barn for the last 26 years
99% rust free

Rolls freely, all shifters work fine and clutch works. No brakes!I think the engine is just stuck from sitting so long. (I never tried to free it)

Check pictures closely, they tell the story.

I will include to the winning bidder a spare front 1/2 of the body for parts from another jeep.(has glove box complete in it, no tags) Sorry, no pictures of it.

1943 MB? Northern California Make Offer

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB), MB This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

A woman named Deedee contacted me on Facebook saying she was interested in helping sell this MB.  It is her boyfriend’s jeep.  He inherited it from his grandfather, but it has sat for years.  It’s located in Northern, California (close to Hopland I think).  The serial number is #MB212201. I have asked for more information (does it run, how is the body) and pics.  If you’d like to contact her directly, you can reach Deedee at ddwiley73 @ gmail.com.

1943 GPW Boise, ID **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was on eBay

“You are bidding on a 1943 Ford GPW Serial Number 95032 with a DOD of 2-1-1943. The jeep has matching frame and glovebox data plate. The motor is actually out of an amphibious Ford GPA jeep.

This jeep found it’s way to me a few years ago and came out of the Reno, NV area where it had sat in a hanger for the last 20-30 years. The jeep was incredibly intact and complete. Nearly all the hard to find parts were/are there including the original tandom tow bar, original f script rear seat, f script top bows, and a ton of the little stuff like the oil can bracket. Really it was kind of an unrestored barn find of a gem. Unfortunately it did not run, needed a couple of body repairs, and had a few extra coats of paint with the last coat not catalyzed properly leaving it with a cracked and gooey texture. So, it needed some work and paint . . .”

1944 GPW Sugar Hill, NH eBay

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The seller notes this was purchased a few days ago for over $10,000. The grill and bumper aren’t original, but the rest looks solid. The paint on the dash appears a little rough.

“serial #176801 This Jeep was manufactured in by Ford February of 1944 using the Willy’s-Overland design. The vehicle has been nicely restored and wears fresh paint including “USMC / 58282” . The engine runs strong and the electrical system has been converted to 12 volt. The frame shows no evidence of being welded and seems very sound. The headlights along with the fuel, speed, amp and temperature gauges all function properly. The tires are all excellent and the vehicle comes with a spare tire, gas can, GI ammo crate, shovel and axe. It is currently registered as an antique vehicle in the state of Maine. This true classic represents one of the very first Jeeps made in the first three years of production and before a civilian version was even developed. The ultimate addition to your WWII military collection!

I bought this jeep SIGHT UNSEEN yesterday for over $10,000.00 at a gun auction in NH. I know nothing about jeeps. The description aboves comes from the auction catolog as does the pictures. Below is the auction link-PLEASE CHECK IT OUT FOR MORE PICTURES!

1946? Flattie Carmichael, CA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB), MB This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This is a mix of military and custom parts.

“Up for your consideration, is a very nice 1946 Military Jeep. It has a 327 Chevy engine with a 2 speed power glide automatic transmission. It has brand new Goodyear Wrangler LT 255/70 R 16, load range C, mud and snow tires, brand new rims, Warn Hubs, and a new Edelbrock carburetor. It is equipped with a tow bar and a rear tire mount. The hood is fiberglass. There is no rust-out on the body, and all the floor panels are very straight. It has an electric fuel pump and an 18.7 gallon gas tank sitting where the back seat would be, and a roll bar. It needs to have some electrical finished, i.e.; headlights, missing front turn signals, and windshield wiper. It also needs a sending unit installed in the gas tank. Three of the five gauges are also new. It is a very nice driver with a powerful engine. I bought the Jeep with intentions of finishing it off, but due to a crippling degenerative back condition, and a pending second back surgery, I am forced to sell it. I have tried to describe the Jeep to the best of my ability.”

“This auction is for a 1943 Ford GPW, NOT a Willys MB. This vehicle has been CHANGED to appear as a UTV. Not much is stock on this little jeep. It has a custom rack on the back, extra fuel tank in the back, new seats, Ford Falcon dash(?), and a V6. The engine runs very strong. See this video for footage of it running. The jeep is really quite cool. The only real work it needs is a broken left shock bracket. That’s it.

If you want to see the jeep in action go to youtube and type in “Bad ford GPW”. It should pull up a video titled “bad ford gpw in price, utah”. Watch it.

“1942 Ford GPW army jeep. I bought this jeep 6 years ago. it has no title but i will give a receipt. Wanted to restore or simply make a toy for 4-wheeling but times are tough. I bought a new carb, oil pump, fuel pump, and some other stuff. Needs lots of work like a radiator and gas tank and much more as you can see. I started it a few years back and it smoked like a train but no knocking so I beleive the motor is rebuildable. I beleive it has a nissan transfer case which I understand is in high demand.”

” Ford Script GPW #7258 D.O.D. 3-20-42

Still has an original T-84 Ford transmission, Ford transfer case and parking brake assembly, I pressure washed the frame and it is in excellent condition. It is a Jeep Willys frame with a GPW serial number 7258, original leaf springs are still intact along with the original rears. The engine does not turn over by hand but is full of oil.
The body is in fair condition and  is restorable in my opinion.
This GPW also comes with a Maryland title!!
If you are going to be an International bidder you are %100 responsible for the transportation and shipping of the vehicle.
I hope it gets into the right hands for a proper restoration any other questions just ask I will try and answer them to the best of my knowledge.”

1944 GPW LIttle Falls, NY eBay

• CATEGORIES: GPW (Ford MB) • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  I got this confused with a 1942 GPW from Little Falls that was on eBay last week.  My bad.  

“For auction is a Willys jeep. This jeep started life as a CJ2A, but was totally redone about 6 years ago to be a WW2 MB. It has the MB2A complete body and grill. This was done over exactly like an MB. It has the Willys 4 cylinder engine, but does retain the T90 CJ transmission. It is currently set up with a 12 volt battery, but does have a 6 volt wiring harness so would be easy to convert back to 6 volt should you choose.  Comes with the SCR-510 radio with antenna, and the gas operated .30 cal machine gun and mount. This gun does not fire real ammunition and cannot be made to fire ammunition. The ammo box in the bustle basket is for carrying the oxygen and propane to operate the gun. This is an older project so it is not in show room condition, but is a great jeep for a re-enactor or for driving in parades. It turns a lot of heads.”

This is rough.  The body seems like a GPW, yet lacks a glove box.

“This is a 1944 GPW WW2 jeep made by Ford. It’s OD green, neat with a straight tub and body work done. Has GPW WW2 engine (but it does not match the frame). I had this engine inspected by an expert restorer who said it’s a good block. Has GPW tcase. Missing trans and data plates. Has a post war rear axle but i know of someone selling one for a reasonable price. This one has a post war heater added but i will include part of a dash from my parts tub to replace the glove box area for free. Many free parts will come with this. No title. I bought this with a bill of sale. Wife says it has to go so no more restorations for me. But this is an excellent candidate for a quality restoration. Has some rust in the hat channels. Will provide some replacement hat channels free. Serious inquiries only please. Will consider partial trade for bantam, world war II or korean war era 1/4 ton trailer. No texts please; my phone won’t support it. call or email, thanks”
