SOLD

“This is a rare barn find!  It’s not often you find one of these untouched military jeeps.  You are bidding on a 1944 GPW with matching engine and frame numbers.  No data tags.  Jeep comes with bill of sale only.  Although the body is rough, this is a great restoration project.  Many original parts are still on the jeep such as spare tire carrier and support bracket.  You can still see the original seat cushions (horse hair)along with seat covers on the back seat and driver seat.  The jeep sits on four original combat wheels which I believe are still mounted to the original tires.  Original hood numbers are visible under the flaking blue paint (will try to uncover the complete number in the morning) All three original Ford seats are still on the jeep.  Original script bolts hold the body handles in place.  I am putting this jeep up for sale in as found condition; Engine, tranny along with all mechanical components have not been tested but appear to be damage free.  Since the jeep is sold as is, I recommend that all interested parties ask all questions and do all their research before placing a bid.  For our mutual protection I will except offers through ebay for our mutual protection but please do not wait until the end of the auction to make offers.  I will consider any rare jeep parts such as slat grill parts, GP parts etc. as patial trade toward the jeep as I have many other projects.  A $1000 non-refundable deposit is due within 24 hours of the end of the auction.”

UPDATE: Unclear if this sold or not. Was listed at $2000

(10/26/2010) Scott spotted this Ad.  It might be a real solid find for an East Coast GPW.  Note that his has a M-38 Grille.

“Flat Head Four original engine. Runs but needs work. Would make a fun off road vehicle or a nice restoration project. $2000.00 FIRM.”
