1944 Movie Ford Gpw 99% original

The Vehicle:

Meet Tojo. a 1944 Ford GPW. Let us tell you why Tojo is so special.

Although the production of the GPW reached high numbers. today few jeeps remain in their original state. Most vehicles have been taken apart. destroyed and lost through time. It is becoming more difficult to find original parts. real matching numbers. and correctly assembled jeeps. This particular jeep is unique in that it is entirely made up of original and NOS parts.

Tojo is not your average hobby car. assembled in a garage. This GPW has gone through an intense restoration through professional mechanics. painters and critics. The entire process was handled under the supervision of a World War II veteran. who has driven the jeeps himself. Tojo. is one of a kind.

This 1944 GPW is rare in that it speaks to two types of collectors. In fact. Tojo is a World War 2 antique as well as a Paramount Pictures Hollywood movie star. The vehicle has been featured in several films including. “Hell is for Heroes”. directed by Don Siegel and starring Steve Mc QUeen. as well as “Is Paris Burning?” (screenplay by Gore Vidal and Francis Ford Coppola).

The vehicle includes:

1. Matching numbers on: engine. body and frame.

2. All metal undercoated for maximum corrosion protection.

3. Frame-off restoration using only original and NOS parts.
