Description
We proudly present this fantastic 1942 Willy FORD GPW Jeep.
During WWII, the Ford GPW Jeep played a powerful role in increasing the efficiency and mobility of the US Army, adopting distinctive features, some recognizable even today, that would continue to influence the design and silhouette of the modern “sport utility vehicle”. Soon to become the ubiquitous, world-famous jeep, the Willys MB & Ford GPW models were very effective on the ground, with many standardized features such as 6. 00x16 tires, 60 horsepower at 4, 000 rpm, a gasoline can bracket on the left rear, provision for trailer lights, spark interference suppression, a blackout light system, twin top bows.
Presented in stunning condition, having undergone a very detailed restoration by renowned Willys Jeep Specialist Andrew Purshall. This particular Jeep was built by Andrew for himself , the engine has benefitted from the crank and conrods being balanced during the engine rebuild, which makes for the smoothest running Willy`s Jeep we have seen to date.
The restoration has been carried out with close attention to detail.
The work included a full Strip down to the chassis & Full body off repaint
Period correct accessories include Side mounted shovel, Side Mounted Axe.
Comes complete with the canvas roof and has been fitted with rear lapbelts for carrying children which can easily be removed if not required.
The detailed restoration carried out by someone who really knows how to restore a Willy`s Jeep.
