777 AAA

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I would ask the Jeep specialists you are.. what do you think about this Jeep? How much does it worth and can you estimate the date of delivery? It a Ford GPW. Number engraved on the left inside the motor compartment is 203798 (see last picture). The Jeep is entirely rebuilt as new! Except for the rear lights.

From the pictures it looks like a good jeep, but pictures only tell half the story.

 

GPW203798 DOD approx 05/25/44.

Now price really depends on how original it is, how much you're willing to pay, and if the restoration has been done well or not.

 

Do you know if it has a composite body and the body number. Or is it a repro?

Is the engine, gear/transfer box Ford?

Are there lots of 'F' script bolts and parts? This will mean as a Ford it's a little more original, unless it's a dodgey repro part.

 

The rear lights aren't correct the E brake handle is er...not to sure. The temp gauge looks like a repro and from I can see or the others they look like Stuart Warner so they would be correct.

From the angle the picture is taken from the hood looks like an early Willys one.

I'm not to sure why there's an exhaust clamp on the exhaust though.....mabye it's been repaired.

The wind screen inner and outer look correct and it seems the have 5 combat rims.

 

I would say from the pictures it's a good jeep just a few small things to be done.

 

Have you seen the jeep or are these pictures you have been sent?

I saw it today.

 

Looks like new. But I dont know the Jeeps. I'm a GMC and Dodge owner and I know them better. No idea of what is repro or not. Seller says it was rebuilt with all Ford pieces. I haven't checked for samll "F" stamped.

 

How much do you think it worth?

Hmmmmmmmm I hope I'm not putting my neck on the line here. If it's got a Ford engine gear/transfer box and a composite body with plenty of Ford parts in it's condition from the picture..... about £8k to £9.5k but don't take that as gospel.

 

If it got a repro body and I would pay at least £500 less.
