My 1942 GPW has got to go away. ;-(
It's a composite ('42 Ford frame, "Auburn" body, Willys motor) - older
restoration that
needs minor TLC and someone who can work on her. It's not the best, but
she served me
well until I broke my back.

Carries an Indiana assigned VIN – Colorado valid title (Horseless
Carriage)
older restoration (1980’s) purchased 90% done.

Mechanical Needs:

It used to be pretty

more. $8500 OBO
