New jeep owner!

Post by mav1942 » Sat Dec 05, 2020 7:12 am

Just picked up my first 42 GPW. In pretty good shape, a few mods to the starting system that I'd like to take back to stock, some other wiring issues, little carb work.
Engine- GPA 2977 and 1182111

Care to share the date of delivery on your data tag. I'm thinking early July 1942. Does your jeep still have the Ford script on the back? Best wishes;
