Post; Where to buy a Willy's Jeep


Does anyone know a place to buy an old World War Two Willy's Jeep? I'm getting close to sixteen and when I try and get my learner's permit I promised myself my first vehicle would be either a Willy's Jeep or a Humvee and I wanna know how much a Jeep would cost. Any information is greatly appreciated.

I just took a look on eBay -- there were a few listed on there just now...you may want to give that a try when the time comes.

Humvee or Hummer 1, for the civilans, costs a lot of money than Willy's Jeep, FYI.

I was talking to my stepdad about it. He said that I need to get an updated engine if it still has the old one in it. And I HAVE to get a roll cage which really bums me out. I'm not too savvy about the humvees anyway I just thought it could be used when me and my stepdad play airsoft. But crud..... I hate roll cages!

Hmmm... weld a box on the back and stick on fake antennas to make it look like some kind of "Command" Jeep.
Or turn it into an ambulance.

Willy's MBs were also made by Ford. A correct WWII Willy's MB will run you about $35,000. Check out the MVPA (MILITARY VEHICLE PRESERVATION ASSOCIATION) http://www.mvpa.org They have tons of info on here and how to purchase one. You can get a old rust bucket and rebuild yourself or you can buy a rebuilt one for more cash.

My friend drives a MB as his everyday car. Took him six years to get it to it's current condition.

Wow. That's a real well done Jeep.
Is that a real .50 or is it a realistic mock up?

There used to be a left hasnd drive Willys Jeep about 1 mile west of Tangalle, south Sri Lanka, that was in pretty good condition, haven't lived in Tangalle for a couple of years now, so don't know if the bloke is still driving it aroud or not. Probably a lot cheaper than in America.
