Item Description
Original Item: Only one available. This is an original WW2 Ford GPW (Willy’s MB) Jeep. The serial number is GPW-87079 and was delivered to the U.S. Government on 12-22-42 (December 22nd, 1942). It had a frame-off restoration in 2007, runs perfectly, and is 90% comprised of original parts. It has clear current title, starts with ease, runs beautifully and is simply a pleasure to both own and drive.
The serial number GPW-87079 can be found on the frame and that matches the number listed on the original data plate, increasing the conductibility of this particular example. The engine serial number which is F script stamped, is GPW-84590. This mis-match was almost certainly done at the factory before delivery as the number are so close in sequence.
The engine wartime and was recently given a very thorough inspection and testing. It withstood over 20lbs of pressure (the cap only is rated to 7lbs of pressure).
Additional accessories include-
- Non-firing Resin .50cal MA2 Browning machine gun.
- M25 pedestal mount with correct fork head cradle and travel bar.
- Original U.S. WWII full Size Infantry Shovel
- Original U.S. WWII full Size Infantry Axe
- Original U.S. 1940’s Era brass fire extinguisher mounted driver side.
- Original U.S. WWII dated gasoline can.
- Original U.S. WWII Garand/Thompson rifle rack on inside of windshield.
- Non-Firing Thompson Machine Gun
- Reproduction Data Plates mounted on Glove Box (originals are framed and included with purchase).
The electrical was converted to 12V, the starter was converted to use a key on/off with push button. This aids in security of the jeep. Some of the gauges are post war as are other bits and pieces, but the main most important parts are genuine WWII.
There may be other WWII Jeeps on the market but very few that run as well, have as many authentic vintage parts without loads of Bondo, multiple wartime accessories, a correct 1919A4 mounted on an M25 mount, or that borrow from the historically accurate regiment like the 9th Infantry Division. If you ever wanted a WW2 Jeep this is the one!
Transport cost is included in the price (depending on location ask for locations that are remote or outside the contiguous US 48 states)
