A 1944 Willys Jeep featured in various Steven Spielberg movies and television series is going up for auction. A 1944 Willys Jeep is being offered from TLO Film Services to Iconic Auctioneers in a Nov. 11 auction. It had three former registered owners before it received a full rebuild of its original engine in February 2023.

The engine rebuild cost over $5,000 — but the highest bidder for the Jeep will receive it fully serviced, Iconic Auctioneers pointed out.The original prototype in 1940 did not meet the Army’s requirements — as the engine was deemed "insufficiently powerful." After losing faith in Bantam’s ability to create what it wanted, The Pentagon then let Willys and the Ford Motor Company take over the responsibility, according to Iconic Auctioneers. Willys created a powerful engine that would later go on to be produced as the Model MB — ultimately being produced by the millions. Iconic Auctioneers car specialist Richard Grenhalgh said in a media statement that the company is excited to be auctioning off the item.
