There was one of those for sale on the west coast, Portland Oregon on Craigslist a few years ago and it had a Ford tractor engine in it with about 40hp. You have to remember back to when the government put out the original specs they wanted the weight at about 1800 pounds like a model T so they kept making things lighter trying to make the super light weight. Willys finally gave up and decided to make it stronger and keep thier advantage of having 60 hp, about 20 more than Ford and Bantam. Bantam actually made the first Prototype but you probably already know that. Really nice to see machines that have everything they should have before everything got swapped around over the years. My 42 GPW still had the axe and shovel mounts, and the body grab handles which was rare even in 77 when I got it.

How lucky you are. Great vehicles. My Uncle who served with Patton had a 1946 Willys. He was a dedicated hunter and used it a lot. It was pretty much original as I remember. He owned an upholstery shop so he kept it nicely fitted with canvas seats and top so it had that smell. In the 1960s he let my brother have it and we spent many fun days testing it's climbing ability and taking it hunting and fishing. Maybe ten years ago my brother sold it to my regret.

@harryrimmer68303 жыл бұрын
The primary reason that the GP has so few "finished" qualities is that the GP was a prototype vehicle and the competing manufacturers had to meet the 1850 lb. weight restriction indicated by the U.S. Army in the contract specifications. Finished body edges, reinforcing channels, etc., all add weight. The final MB/GPW design was specified by the U.S. Army so the final weight was not a consideration.

Fantastic mate thanks! I'm a ww2 armour modeller I'm building a scale replica so was great to see the red primer coming through obviously they weren't baked like the shermans fornthe paint to wear off like that so everything from these will be going in to my model for October's show! Need to get the wiring and fuel lines run and a distributor added as its missing from my scale engine but everything else is spot on!

Remarkable. My first jeep was a 1943 Ford GPW my brother and I bought in 1963, We were 16 and 14 years of age, respectively.Unfortunately, it had been fairly extensively altered from original. Not anything like yours. I recommend you do not change anything. Don’t even clean off the grease underneath. Just do what needs to be done to deserve it and its current condition.

If you look closely at the Ford GP headlights starting around 4:25 you'll see that the headlight supports are hinged to the grill and held down by wing nuts at the back. The idea was you could use the headlights as work lights by undoing the wing nuts and flipping the headlights over to shine on the engine compartment. It was the sort of cute but impractical idea you find on a prototype that gets discarded for production.

Very very nice Matt! One question, I thought the blue hood markings were only until 1943? My may '45 GPW was unrestored as well but missing some details like the capacitors at some places so will definitely use your video during my rebuild! But indeed not all parts F marked on late ones. The fenders did not have any, like many bolts were just flat. But my firewall pad, horse hair radiator deflectors, straps etc were still there. Interesting that they used OD paint after assembly only. under the firewall pad I got to the red primer. As you know, found my hood number on it as well, confirming the data from Tom W. Very very helpful video, thanks a lot.
