The Ford GP is a prototype-series Jeep made by Ford to compete with the
Willy's MA and the Bantam BRC for the Army contract in which the Willy's
got the contract.
Ford made about 4500 GP's??. A good GP is worth (in Europe) between
$12000 and $15000, even more for an excellent example. The chassis number
and delivery-date sound o.k., also the "Ford" script rear but as far as I
know
they didn't put many "F" parts in it, they started doing that with the GPW
(I
could be wrong on this one). A $1000 GP couldn't be wrong in my opinion
you can spend some money on restoration, although parts are not easy to
get.
