I just picked up this 1942 GPW, and was wondering were to start to see if I can find out history on it if any at all S/N GPW 34023. It has never been titled or registered since the military owned it. The person I got them from used them on a farm, and never on the road. They stopped using them and It has been sitting in a storage shed for about 30 years. It has been repainted OD green a couple times, but is in good shape.
I picked this one up this one and two other MB's and couple weeks later dug another 42' GPW tub out of the NV desert. I ended up selling both MBs the red on and white one. I'm keeping my GPW and the tub I found as well. I just changed oil, new 6-volt battery flushed fuel tank, and it fired right up. I had the top folded up under the passenger seat.
Red one is MB, Green one GPW
This is the tub we found in the dirt, still has the data tag too.
