This looks pretty solid. One of the commenters believes this might be an early GPW.

“Up for auction is my Jeep Willys MB in very restorable condition. Very solid body and no rust on frame.(Don’t let the pictures confuse you) The only rust on the body is on both sides of the head channels, approx. 4” long. Can be repaired without removing panels. 5 Original Combat rims with all new tubes & tires. Engine turns by hand. Tranny, 4 wheel drive, Hi/Low levers move freely as they should. Vehicle stears nicely and rolls freely.

My opinion is that this is an easily restorable project. The vehicle is 90% there, all original including almost all original E C marked bolts and early zipper style cushions. (see pics) There is the original front bumper and wooden filler. I believe that the body was never taken off the frame. Vehicle has clean transferable title. It is titled as a 1943 Jeep Willys Ut, which I’m not sure is accurit, since I don’t have the original data plates. Vehical originally came from California.

Please examine all pictures closely, so you can see what you’re bidding on and all that is included in this auction. Here is a link to the photo album of 90 pictures:

“Due to financial dificulties, I am putting my WWII Jeep up for sale that I have owned since 1967. It was delivered to the Army in April 1945. That is the only history of it prior to when I purchased it that I know. I have tried to keep it as original as possible. I spent over $6000 in parts in 1997 (canvas top, seats, tires, lights, gauges, brakes, exhaust, carburetor, etc.). This past fall, my son and I installed all new leaf springs, shocks and shackles. It runs good and is very reliable. Never fails to get attention wherever we drive it. Has CLEAR title. Asking $6000 obo.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.

Not perfect, but looks pretty solid.

“What you are looking at is an original restored 1945 WWII Ford GPW Jeep. These have become quite rare. Nearly all parts are “F marked” from the factory all the way down to almost every bolt! This Jeep is nearly complete from top to bottom and is mainly all original. All that you see on the Jeep goes with the Jeep. The body is in very good condition. The front floor has been repaired along with all the hat channels. The rear floor was replaced. The bottom of the floor and top of the floor has been coated in bed liner to protect the metal from future elements. The transmission Is the original T84. For a 67 year old vehicle, this Jeep looks great and is ready for you to hop in a go. Its ready for that around town drive or that WWII reenactment. The engine runs perfectly with great oil pressure and no smoke and is an original WWII engine top to bottom. The brakes have been reworked, and all the electrical replaced including the gauges. The tires are new 600-16 6 ply military NDT tires; thats the original style from the factory. The data tags and frame are number matching! The Jeep has a clear title! Sold as is.
