A buddy of mine called to tell me he's located another GPW. He let me
talk to the friend of his who actually saw the jeep. This guy has owned
two GPW's in the past. He got to look at it, and noted the willys
crossmember and scripted body. He saw the engine was out of it and it
appeared to be undergoing a restoration of some kind. He checked the
data plates, which were somewhat hard to read but he believed original.
He could not read the serial, but the date of delivery was 2-4-42--4 Feb
42. He did not think to check for the frame stamp because he didn;t
think willys framed GPW's had the stamp.
We are planning an expedition this weekend to go see it--maybe I can get
some pictures of it. The guy who looked at it has owned two GPW's in
the past--so he isn't exactly a novice at it. I will post information
as I discover it. I don;t know if it is for sale or not--we'll know
more this weekend I hope.
Amazing huh? Tim
