A recognizable jeep that's appeared in several Steven Spielberg productions is up for sale in a new auction. The car has over 25,000 miles and is olive green.

An eye-catching jeep from popular movies and TV shows is about to hit the market this month. A 1944 Willys Jeep is being offered from TLO Film Services to Iconic Auctioneers in a Nov. 11 auction. The jeep is said to have been featured in Steven Spielberg’s "Band of Brothers," "Saving Private Ryan" and other hit shows, according to Iconic Auctioneers.

The vehicle was registered originally in the U.K. in 1977. 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 vehicle was originally developed by American Bantam for the U.S.

The Willys Jeep is expected to sell for over $19,000. Those interested in bidding on the unique find can visit iconicauctioneers.com for more information. For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle.
