For sale: 1942 ford gpw jeep

[JEEPBOY]

This 1942 GPW F-scripted Ford Jeep is a new-build and is currently marked in the colours and unit markings of the Canadian Lincoln and Welland Regiment as it would have appeared in Holland when attached to the 10th Canadian Infantry Brigade of the 4th Canadian Armoured Division during the bloody battles at Bergen Op Zoom and Kapelsche Veer as part of Operation Veritable in February of 1945.

This Jeep is in immaculate condition and has only 4000 miles on the clock since being purchased 6 years ago. This 1 owner Jeep has been faithfully serviced, winter-stored and run. It has NEVER been off road; NEVER been driven over 50 miles per hour and NEVER driven further than 100 miles at any one time. Starts and runs perfectly – drives like a 70 year old Jeep – a real workout!

The engine is the 4 cylinder GO-DEVIL, 55 HP version and the electrics are 6 volt. No turn signals; no disc brakes, no seatbelts; no cup holders – but there IS a holder on the windshield for your rifle of tommy gun.

The wheels are like new with the four rims being the harder to find two-piece combat variety – the spare has never been used.

The canvas (on roof and seats) is solid with no tears or rips and it will come with a great variety of accessories to truly make it look like a veteran of WWI battles and campaigns.

• Windshield cover canvas
