Vehicle Description One of the best GPWs on the market today.
Meticulously restored back in 2008, only driven 284 miles since then.
Purchased from a professional restorer in VA in Aug 2009, in storage since 2011 because current owner went back overseas.
GPW was started and driven on a regular basis during this 10-year storage.

Zero rust anywhere, including the undercarriage.
All original and period correct.
VIN (Vehicle Identification Number):
49587 July 28, 1942, delivery date with original brass nomenclature plates To be clear for those who are not familiar with the FORD GPW.
This WWII collector's 4x4 is a Willys Jeep made by Ford in mass production from 1942 onwards.
The US government compelled Willys to hand over the blueprints of their Willys MB to Ford so that production could be ramped up for the US war effort, and to better supply European allies and the Soviet Red Army who were our actual allies during the Second World War.
General George Marshall considered the Willys MB and the Ford GPW to be America's greatest contribution to modern warfare.
