JAN 2021 LIST

SUBMIT NEW GP LIST INFO HERE

DRIVES/STOPS SURVEY As an aside, I've been trying to update the list with photos and per request of some folks, to add a column that says whether a GP drives and stops. Thats it. So if you have a GP on the list and I don't have the "Drives / Stops" correct, please go to that survey.

Check out the GP Photo Gallery (on my website). It is a compilation of all the GP's that I could find either on the web or personally with additional help from fellow owners and Jeep collectors sharing their finds.

Thanks to all who have shared their photos as well as Ron Fitzpatrick for creating this venue that allows us to share our finds and knowledge in one centralized place. :)

David Well done, it was great to see your new photo page this morning and which I am sure will be of great interest to current and future owners as well as other enthusiasts. It was also great to see that my GP also features, “looking forward to receiving those photo copyright payments” !!!!
Keep up the great work which is very much appreciated over this side of the pond. :roll:
Cheers Richard

This looks great. Can you make a similar list for the slat grill jeeps?

Hi David
Just checking through revised build dates for the GP, I note that another Pygmy was built in 44 with a third Series of GPs constructed around 1945 ? if this is the case they are not as rear as first thought.

Richard, What the HECK? I don't know what happened. My EXCEL changed all the dates when I made the new list. How I missed that I don't know but I will fix it. GP's in 44-5? Pulling down the list to fix it. Thanks for the heads up.

Dont' forget to look at the photos. I am always ready to change to or add any photos folks might want to put up.

Guys- shouldn't the dates of delivery be changed to 1941. I note that you were informed in 2014 and would change it, but they still read 1945. Also, I now own # 9455 and # my old # 8853. I'll send pictures soon. Thanks

John,

Sorry. That darn Excel for some reason does this stuff. I don't know why but I will try to correct it asap. How I missed it, I don't know. The real list shows all '41 dates but the conversion to HTML somehow has changed it. :? So in the famous words of Richard Nixon, "I am not a GEEK!" :)

Hey David

I thought I changed it but guess not, GP 9547 is now in Washington, has been since 2013 and the motor is 8597 and has a service reconditioning tag on it dated 12/43. Great site.

Thanks

Wayne Estes
