Description[]

This casting depicts a heavily modified 1942 Willys MB Jeep with a crate V8 engine and a parachute.

With a roll bar, a parachute, a blown V8 engine and rear paddle tires, this Jeep eats up the competition! Being a modified version of the '42 Jeep CJ-2A from World War II, this truck has an oversized engine sticking through the hood (something we've come to expect from Hot Wheels) and four exhaust pipes protruding from the each side. Imagine if this vehicle were in WWII!

The casting was retooled in 2020, with the base modified slightly.
