I’m wonder if this is part of Andy’s former collection.

” I have a WW2 era 1942 Willies jeep/Ford that was originally purchased by my grandfather. It was handed down to my dad and then me. It’s been kept in great shape for its age 82 years of existance, mostly garaged. Everything works, including the new battery, distributer, fuel pump & fuel lines, brakes and brake lines as well. The PTO driven winch was just swapped out for an identical 10K lb rebuilt. You could literally winch yourself straight up a tree. Windsheild can be lowered all the way down. TUBE TIRES, with extreme mud tread makes it almost impossible to get a flat. Added flood lights with a bank of auxiliary switches (for adding on whatever your heart desires; PA, ect.. No rust and starts and drives right now. (Dont forget to double clutch since they didnt have synchro gears way back when.) Asking 12,000 o.b.o.”

Blaine shared this GPW that just sold for $28,500! You can see all the info on Bring-A-Trailer’s website:https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1942-ford-jeep-gpw-5/

This has a variety of mods, but still has GPW tool box lids.

“1942 Willys jeep.Front end of Jeep has a 8000 pound warm sidewire, winch. Front end has been completely rebuilt. It has a V six motor with throttle body Injection. It has disc breaks all the way around and hubs all the way around. Transfer case is brand new is a 29 tooth instead of 26. The rear end has a floating rear axle. To lock in hubs and to tow. And lots of stuff that go with.”

It’s a project. It appears to have a Ford frame, but it has MB tool box lids.

“1943 Ford GPW. Needs a new starter, oil pump, oil filter and radiator. Other than that runs great. I have 4 Denman tires and a winch that goes with it. Send me an offer!”

It’s a project.

“2 Ford GPW, too many projects. GPW engine, capstan winch that works off the front of the engine, F marked seats, no rear seat, 5 combat rims the two front are new from Joes moter pool, they are DOT approved, new tires and tubes, new windshield, and glass, new fuel tank, and fuel system new wheel brake cylinders, new brake master cylinder, new brake lines. 1942 title.”

This needs to be assembled, but may be in good shape. Looks like the body may be a replacement.

“A rare jeep made by Ford in great shape, but needs to be reassembled. It’s organized and ready to be delivered in a call hauler. Owner passed away before he could assemble it”

“This is a ford jeep. Engine starts runs.”

Looks parade ready.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1318544812877122

“Museum quality WWII army Jeep. Frame of restoration. Runs and drives as it should. Very original”

There could be some value here given the parts. The tub might be a replacement body rather than a GPW body.

(9/21//2023) I expectthe seller is offering to sell a title left over from another jeep for $300.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/165495793196397

“1943 Ford GPW with a stuck ford 6cyl. Original body frame and data plates. Comes with bill of sale, title available for an extra 300”

I would think that this could go quickly.

“Ford Jeep, runs, drives. Call for more information”

UPDATE: **SOLD**

“Registered as a 1946 Willy VIN# on pink slip and registration:GPW52643.
The title is registered to the motor which is a GPW block with a Willy’s mb head.
Clean title & current registration in my name
Toe board gusset serial number:9869
Data plate serial number:113589
DOD 1-20-42
All three original data plates intact, but missing Frame tag
Gpw motor
Correct axels
Original transmission
Body has bondo but overall in good shape for early production slat grille.
Runs and drives
New break lines
New master cylinder
Carburetor rebuilt with nos rebuild kit
12v system

Overall this Willy’s is a perfect candidate for someone who loves WW2 jeeps. Will make a great restoration project for someone. Body does hold some bondo but to be expected with the original body. Floor plans are solid. Frame looks good. Very little rust on the undercarriage, minus the usual gussets.

Very rare only 25,000 of them produced.

UPDATE: **Sold** Was $7500.

John shared this GPW. It will need lots of love!

“1942 Ford GPW Script Jeep with matching serial numbers on the frame, motor and data tag. Definitely a project but pretty rare with the matching numbers. Missing parts include grill,lights,rear seat, air filter, spare tire and carrier, 2 combat rims. Most parts are F marked. Those that aren’t F marked include the windshield and passenger seat. Engine needs one valve tappet freed up. More we’re stuck but we’re freed up with soaking. Engine turns free 1 1/2 turns at which time the stuck tappet stops the rotation. Have not removed head yet but the cylinders, pistons look good and move freely. Body is as shown and the frame will need work on the front rails and rear. Hood needs a patch as shown.”

UPDATE: Still Available.

(09/30/2023) Looks solid witha few updates.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2184897448374112

“Runs and drives great. You can drive this rig in parades or cruise in the evening. All original look with axe/shovel. Rare M1 windshield gun rack. The tires are original type, matching spare and tow bar on front. Very solid jeep…needs nothing! During World War II, Jeep could not keep up with the demand needed during the campaign, so Ford contracted with the government to make 300,000 Ford GPW Jeeps using Jeep parts and design. Own a Piece of History!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

Could be worth a look.

“This a Script Ford GPW in need of a lot of work. Definitely worth saving, however I’m not the guy for this one. It was part of a bulk purchase I did in order to get the one I wanted. It is crusty, but has a motor trans and transfer and axles. Haven’t turned motor, and don’t have paperwork. It will take some research on your end, however It did come from an old timer that has had it forever, so its long off the books”

Unclear how much value is here.

“Ford cj1 1945 project have engine and transmission”

UPDATE: Still Available.

(10/07/2023) This has a new body. If someone wants to purchase this, but doesn’t want the engine, In trade for the engine and steering column, I would consider going up to get this (way at the top of the Peninsula area), bringing it back, and holding it until someone comes to pick it up. email me if you are interested: d@deilers.com. I think the engine would be good in Biscuit.

The free-spinning gear-driven motor has a Ford GPW cylinder head on it and a rebuild tag as shown. All the parts, including a brand new clutch and pressure plate shown go with the Jeep”

It’s project that likely won’t be for sale much longer …

1942 Ford GPW tub, fenders, hood, grill, windshield frame, seats and modern repair panels as shown with the ripples dents, dings, and poor patch repairs you would expect after 80 years of use. The floor and hood were cut for a larger F head engine and transmission and some point in the part along with some rough riveted patches. However all the repair panels and parts (tother than simple flat patches) are included to bring it back. Full front floor pan with hat channels that costs more than $700 dollars on its own plus repair parts including the drivers side pioneer kit area, inner rear fender/tool box panels. Inner windshield frame. Bensinger wheelhouse pockets to move the seats back for more leg room if desired. It has its original F marked seats and side grab handles. All original parts have been soda blasted and weldable primed. Rerpo repair patch parts are factory red primed. Pickup preferred but could work with buyer to arrange shipping in a crate at buyers expense. Was going to build as a LRDP jeep and keep most of the imperfections. Bill of sale only. Asking $3,500. Located in Quakertown, PA.
