Your looking at a great running and driving example of a 1943Ford
GPW Willys Jeep manufactured specifically for the war effort. In
the early 1940s, Ford jumped into help Willys MB with manufacturing
to keep up with demand. All the parts between the Ford GPW and
Willys MB jeeps are completely interchangeable. This is a very
original, history rich Willys with the original canvas coverings
and almost all original sheet metal and floor pans. This is the
most iconic vehicle of WWII and earned a reputation of toughness,
durability and versatility in the war. This vehicle almost single
handily replaced use of draft animals such as horses because they
are just so versatile. This Jeep still runs and drives very similar
to how it did back in 1943 to give the driver a taste of how
soldiers traveled in WWII. Overall this Willys has a clean
undercarriage, and is mostly rust free with all the body panels
being very straight and original.
