What a body on the first one!
So I'm guessing the nice one was found in the US since it has a Property of U.S. Postal Service box sitting on it but I'm unsure if it is an original unrestored GPA with some civvy overspray on it or a partial OD respray over a fully civvy painted body. Either way that sheet metal looks almost entirely original !!!
BTW what does the no.6 photo show us? I see a wood deck with ribs, folded canvas and a wooden box. None of that looks GPA?
Please don't keep us in suspense any longer!!!
Tell us how you found this gem and if it has seen any restoration other than the civvy paint.
