This should be right up Wolf Fab's alley...

The tub doesn't look right for a GPW. In fact the only thing that looks GPW is the grill and data plates. Although maybe the pics just aren't good enough to see some of the detail.

[globallandrovers]

It is the correct and original tub, but someone has cut in a tailgate. The aftermarket top doesn't help the whole look of the thing.

It looks modified enough that to get full value out of it you would be better parting out all of the remaining Ford bits separately as some of those command crazy money. Otherwise I see the value as any other MB turned offroader.

maybe I should put mine on ebay UK and someone could trade me for a defender and we could each pay our own shipping.

A little too much of a project for me, but I've restored worse. It is the correct the body though, minus the hacked up areas.

Oh, and that's a F134 motor with Zenith carb. That motor was found in the post-1952 Jeeps, like the CJ-5 and M38A1 - not the CJ-3A or M38 (those had the L134).

What do you have ? I may be interested in a trade one day.

I have a 48 CJ2A. Go Devil motor is out and in pieces right now due to bad piston rings. It was running, but smoking badly. It will have new pistons and head gasket when I get around to it. Just no time right now to work on it.

the jeep market in the UK is mainly for nice WW2 jeeps and Vietnam era vehicles
