My 1943 Ford GPW was the first automobile I ever owned and it taught me everything I needed to learn about maintenance and repair with some helpful tips from an old timer at the army motor pool. This video reminds me of my long drives in the mountains of Italy. It ran like a Swiss watch and took me anywhere I wanted to go, even in places where the newer civilian CJ5's would get stuck in the snow in the hills beyond Pescasseroli. Nothing I have ever driven since then has had the same feel.
This is awesome! This is exactly what I am looking for to restore. I would like to do this for parades and historical events, even the trailer. Congratulations on your Jeep.
It's like you told the story of "retiring in the countryside" for an old war veteran. Already I'm thinking about everything that jeeps headlights and wheels traveled over so many years ago. Best left for the imagination. Beautiful video and well done!
Great video, must get mine up and running for the spring, had it 11yrs now, great when your puttering round quiet lanes and across fields, and no-one shooting at you!
This is the BEST Video and The BEST representation of a Ford GPW I've ever seen and as complete as they come. THANK YOU! for sharing this with all of us. It brings back 30yr old memories of my father and I rebuilding ours.
Superb!! I am owner of Willys MB 174849 and always happy to go out with my wife!! Always an amazing experience... And you can feel something into your soul while driving...
A beautiful video that needs no words... In the one part at 44 seconds in, it would have been need to see 4 guys in complete combat gear from WWII.... only for that 2 seconds, then at the end those 4 guys walking through that field.. That would have been over the top... None the less, well done... well done....
This is an ABSOLUTE beauty of beauties!!! God, how I wish I could buy and/or restore one!! Unfortunately both are beyond my capabilities: I certainly don't have enough money to buy a restored one (with prices being from 8000 Euro upwards), and I dont't have the: knowlege, skills, tools, spare parts, instructions and workshop, to restore one ... Having one is my obsession (Willys, Bantam, or possibly, at the very worst, even a Hotchkiss M201), but it might be a dream unfulfilled... :-(
wow! what a jeep. i'm 52 years old. when i was young my neighor i one, ford gpw made 1942. that jeep should be mine, sold to somebody else. maybe some time i will have one!
verry, verry, verry nice jeep. the good engine ford coller ect but 1 thing get my attantion.. the key locker:P looks like a willys maybe an idea to look forward for a ford :)
sry, it is GPW 258801 (frame no.) with engine no. 177571 (I know, this is irrelevant for non-purist fans of the Jeep, but most owners/collectors want to know this). Keep them rolling!
the bottle opener is just a personal touch to show that the people who used these vehicles customised them in there own way.. i know because the guy who restored this jeep (the man driving) is my father.

After 14 years I came across this beautiful video... Ford GPW..👍👍
Wspaniałe uczucie, kiedy po kilkuset godzinach pracy odrestaurowany przedmiot oddaje choć chwilę przyjemności. To jest bezcenne !
The restoration appears to be just as artistic as the movie. Goregeous! Very well done indeed!
this video gives me chills and makes me smile.
what a beautiful vehicle.

Top notch restoration and video. You just have to be proud to watch this, no other way to describe it.
Great restoration! I had a '43 GPW that I just repaired mechanically and painted olive drab, very fun vehicle.
Awesome video. I try to watch it at least once per week to give me inspiration to finish my 1942 GPW project. Thanks for sharing.
A beautiful real pearl, a wonderful hero.
Superb!! I am owner of Willys MB 174849 and always happy to go out with my wife!!

@KaiserWillysJeep It's not a Willys, it is a Ford. Common mistake though.
GPW stands for General Purpose Willys.
