Highlights
- A partial list of notable currently installed equipment reported by the seller includes black-out lights, a folding windshield, a folding soft top, and cloth upholstery. Several spares and accessories, including a shovel, headlight covers, and a non-firing .30-caliber Browning gun, are included in the sale.
- The American government asked Ford to start building the GPW after it became evident that Willys couldn't manufacture enough Jeeps on its own. The GPW was nearly identical to the original Jeep, though there are a small handful of Ford-specific parts scattered throughout. GPW production started in 1942, and Ford ended up building nearly half of the Jeeps used during World War II.
- Power comes from a 134-cubic-inch 4-cylinder engine, rated at about 60 horsepower. Output is sent to the rear or the four wheels via a 3-speed manual transmission and a 2-speed transfer case.
