    Ford GPW on eBay

    I spent quite a bit of time driving a '42 Ford GPW at a farm where my dad worked when I was about 14. This one is kind of a basket case, but I thought you guys (especially Bill H.) might enjoy taking a look. - Bob

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    USGI,
    BUY IT!
    I passed on an MV a number of years ago... and knew I was missing an opportunity.... and still regret it...
    Remember that they aren't making any more of these critters!

    Guys from what I see I don't believe it is worth the asking price unless there is a whole lot more information the seller is not listing. There is a great start there but it is missing crucial photos like the dash, underside (especially the hat channels and tub rot), data plates, flooring and really nothing of detail is mentioned. The black out drive light is an M series type for later MVs like an M151 or M38A1. The wheels are civilian. Air cleaner is incorrect. Hum, $4500.00 tops with current information. Now if it has a matching serial numbered engine to frame to tub??? Oh yeah, it may very well be worth the asking price! JMHO

    No, it's not for me. The only Jeep I ever owned was a CJ2A, and I sold it in the late 60's for about $450. I put the money toward a new VW beetle that was about $1850. Wages and prices seem to be approx. 10X now what they were then, so I think Bill has the price pegged pretty close. The close-ups under the hood and of the body don't look that encouraging to me. I've got a Marmon-Herrington Ford (not military) that I've been tinkering with for almost 40 years - it and the M1icon Carbines are enough to keep me busy! - Bob
