This is a 1943 GPW Ford army Jeep circa WWII. When this Jeep was puchased, it was badly rusted and in severe need of a restoration. I want to stress that this is NOT a true to 1943 restoration, but its close. The body was lifted off the frame. The frame was sandblasted and painted with enamel paint. Everything was inspected and replaced if needed. New brake lines and shocks have been installed. New brake pads, wheel cylinders, etc. The wheels were basted and new tires from Coker Tire were installed. The body was also sandblasted and any rust found was cut out and new panels weled in. The floor is new, front to back and sealed with bedliner. This was not a restoration to make this Jeep look new. We wanted a look of an active duy Jeep, so any small dings were left and minimal body work was done. The body was sprayed with the correct Green enamel. New glass was installed in the widshield. The seat were recovered in Army green canvas. New guages were installed, new steering wheel, and new wiring with late model type fuses. It has been converted to 12V. We DO NOT have the shovel and ax. This Jeep was finished about 1 1/2 years ago, and has had roughly 450 miles put on it. The engine runs great with its new Solex carb. Trans and transfer case work great. This would be great for re-enactments or parades. if you have questions, please call me at 641-682-8469. Good Luck.On Jul-15-10 at 12:35:39 PDT, seller added the following information: Check out the other GPW on ebay. Yeah, it has all the bells and whistles. You could actually save money buying this one and piecing together the rest of the add-ons. Plus, to the winning bidder of this auction I will offer a WWII trailer you can pull behind this machine for the special low price of $500. I do not have pictures of it at this time, it is descent and I pulled it home!!!!! The hitch has been changed over to a ball type, but that is nothing a man with a welder can't tackle.
