Does anyone out there know where I can find a Military Jeep for sale in the Omaha Nebraska area? I would like to restore it. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help.

Sounds like something that Hemmings Motor News might be able to help with, catman. My advice is to send a private message to dstrohl. He might be able to point you in the right direction.

Craigslist or Ebay. I surprise myself with the stuff I pull off Ebay sometimes. Maybe Autotrader or cars.com too. You should also be open minded about travelling to find the perfect one. Not sure how much salt is used in your area, but a rusty example could prove to be a royal pain to restore whereas a clean southern vehicle could save you 100's of hours.

Southern US is okay, but it should have not been a beach vehicle (same/worse than salted roads up north). Good luck!

The best place that I know of for used military vehicles and vehicle parts is Memphis Truck and Equipment. We have used them to rebuild some old military trucks. You can reach them at www.memphisequipment.com If they can't help you, they should be able to steer you to someone that can. Good luck. Send pictures.

I don't see any MBs or GPWs in your area right now, but you I track and update early jeeps for sale across the United States at my website eWillys.com (I get them from craigslist, ebay, & readers). You can see what's available near you by using my map. http://www.ewillys.com/?page_id=3301 Best of luck or contact me with any questions, - Dave
