43 gpw for sale SOLD SOLD
For sale is a 43 gpw in need of restoration. Front bumper was replaced with the usual iron piece. Rear crossmember was also replaced with a heavy duty piece. Front floor will need to be replaced. I bought it for the MB engine but it turned out that the vin is too early for my MB. Comes with three seats and new seat cushions as well. Was in storage for many years, although cracked it still has the original ford glass. Located in Albany, New York area. First best offer takes it. Paper work done should have title. PM or email me if interested. I will consider a MB motor in the range 552109-560500 or any cool accessories as partial trade. I also have a repro front bumper for it.

Re: 44 gpw for sale
Thanks for posting. Lots of potential on this one.
Some quick follow up questions:
Can you let us know the serial number? I have 240019 (December 1944) and would be interested to see if this GPW is close in age.
Are the seats, top bow parts and other small items in the photos originals or reproductions?
Are the transmission, transfer case, and axles original Ford components that came with this vehicle or do they look like they have been changed out tin the motorpool?
Also, are the data tags included? The photo shows the glove box door is missing.
Again, thanks for posting. Looks really interesting.
Sincerely,
John

Re: 43 gpw for sale
FYI...a GPW with a frame number of 51136 would be a late July or perhaps an early August 1942 GPW, not a 1943!
My GPW-19763 4/24/42 happens to have a GPW motor #51122 in it by the way. Close, so VERY close...but no cigar as they say!

Re: 43 gpw for sale
So this GPW is just barely post-script series. It would make a nice project and I’d be interested if I wasn’t in the middle of buying another GPW from another esteemed member on here.
Hey Chuck, maybe the buyer will make you an offer you can’t refuse for your motor ....I know I would to get a motor within 14 numbers of my frame number!
