Car location: Goulburn, NSW, Australia

Seller's notes: Very original WW2 Ford GPW - 2 careful owners before me - Aust Army and a farmer - and it starts. In service until jeeps demobbed late '50s. Many original details - some canvas seats, grease gun bracket, post war right hand indicator, D/D Army tyres, earth straps, shovel straps. Rust in usual places - near sidesteps, but otherwise body sound. Windscreen frame in excellent cond. Bumper missing, fuel pump needs recond and plenty of little things to tidy up - but amazingly strait jeep. Paint patina goes thru to bronze, then Aust drab back to US drab.

Bought this jeep a year ago from a farmer with the idea of not restoring it. but keeping it original - and simply getting it going and operational. However. we've moved house twice in that time and have not even had a chance to even look at it - and now we need other things - hence the (reluctant) sale. On bringing it home we turned the engine over by hand - changed the plugs and points - poured fuel into the carby and it started first go! Pumped the tyres up and they still hold air. The farmer I bought it from thought his Dad bought it from an army auction around 1960 - the paint is worn through in places and you can see the various layers of olive drab and post war bronze olive - and the factory colour. The chassis number says the jeep was built around DEC '44 - and the engine number is from early '45 - it has some late model features such as the extra bonnet catches toward the back of the bonnet and Aust Army reflectors on rear - as fitted to postwar service jeeps. Some of the canvas seating is still there - drivers seat. passenger back cushion. rear seat back cushion. Still has the manually operated yellow hand signal attached to the windscreen. I like it how it is - and every now and then thought of a body off resto - but I have other unfinished projects - including another jeep. It has rust through where the sidesteps are and some surface rust - and comes complete with a . 22 bullet hole presumably from its farming days. Amazingly the windscreen channels are still in excellent condition - normally the first thing to rust out. Missing the front bumper and needs new gussets. The ONLY thing I've done with it is clean it and coat any rust with neutra-rust to prevent any further deterioration. It is what it is. very hard to find a WW2 jeep in this condition today - I truly hate to see it go - but it must.
