Vehicle Description
This 1944 Willys MB Military Jeep is a genuine piece of American
history-an original World War II-issued 4x4 utility vehicle that
represents one of the most iconic machines ever to serve in the
U.S. Armed Forces. With a documented Serial Number 331168, Chassis
Number MB266885, and a Date of Delivery of May 10, 1944, this
Willys MB was built in the heat of the Second World War and
embodies the rugged reliability and utilitarian design that helped
shape the outcome of the conflict.
Still outfitted with its all-steel body, this Jeep remains faithful
to its original form, showing off its battle-born lines in proper
drab green military paint. Its appearance is completed with tan
canvas upholstery, a matching canvas windshield cover, and a full
canvas top enclosure, making it suitable for both display and
open-air driving. The folding windshield, 16-inch steel wheels, and
original-style jerrycan mounted to the rear bring unmistakable
authenticity to the vehicle.
Power comes from a correct-style 134ci inline-four engine, though
it is a non-original motor, mated to a three-speed manual gearbox
and a dual-range transfer case, ensuring capable off-road
performance through all four wheels. Manually-locking front hubs
provide extra traction when needed, and the mechanical simplicity
makes this Willys easy to maintain and enjoyable to drive-whether
on pavement, in parades, or over rugged terrain.
Though born for battle, this Willys MB is now at home as a prized
piece of history. Its condition reflects careful preservation
rather than full restoration, allowing the authentic character of
its service heritage to shine through. The steel body, strong
mechanicals, and practical design are all reminders of what made
the MB the backbone of American mobility during WWII. It's a
vehicle that helped liberate Europe, patrol the Pacific, and shape
the legacy of off-road vehicles for decades to come.
This Jeep is being sold with a clean title, making it a ready
candidate for historic registration, reenactment use, military
vehicle collections, or weekend adventure drives. Whether you're a
collector, veteran, history buff, or simply someone who values the
legacy of freedom and ingenuity, this 1944 Willys MB offers a rare
opportunity to own and experience a true icon of the 20th
century.
With authentic details, historical documentation, and timeless
military styling, this Willys Jeep is more than a classic-it's a
tribute to the Greatest Generation and the machine that helped move
it forward.
