1944 Video of European Invasion

• CATEGORIES: Features, videos This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This video documents destroyed vehicles and dead soldiers. At one point a soldier riding a horse passing by some destroyed vehicles. It’s a jarring contrast. A few jeeps appear here and there.

“Invasion Scenes Europe (1944)
Allied invasion of occupied Europe – France?

Captured German officer being driven off in jeep. Various shots wounded German prisoners being brought through British front line and put into trucks, a captured German medic appears to be attending to them. Various shots destroyed enemy artillery and vehicles. Various gruesome shots of dead soldiers lying on tank abandoned in road. Various shots corpses in street (not clear in civilian or military casualties). Shots of burnt out Tiger tank, soldier on horseback passes. Various shots American and British troops advancing through town reduced to rubble. More shots of burnt out military vehicles and equipment. More shots captured Germans being brought from front line.”

Article About the Purchase of a 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Bill shared this article about one author’s experience with buying a 1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. It’s a good read, though I don’t think the writer actually answers the question of the headline, “What I Wish I Knew Before I Bought a Jeep Grand Wagoneer”. I suspect the editor of the website where the article was posted created the mis-matched headline.

The author didn’t have much luck hunting through classifieds, so he decided to place a “jeep wanted” ad in Kijiji. That resulted in him finding a rust free Wagoneer. He eventually upgraded the powertrain to a Vortec engine and is very happy with that decision.

“1944 Willys MB with ¼ ton trailer. Sold as a set only.
Excellent condition, been garaged.
Serial # MB 340573
DOD: First week of June 1944
Clear Oregon title for both trailer and jeep.

Vehicle was purchased from a friend of mine in about 2002. I have records of its ownership back to the early 70’s and some correspondence back to the early 60’s. Between 2002 and 2003 the body and frame were separated, engine, transmission and transfer case removed. Frame and tub were sandblasted, primed and painted. There was some minor rust repair done, and the fuel tank well and the fuel tank were replaced due to corrosion. Front frame bumper brackets were replaced as well as the front bumper. Top frame and brackets are replacements.

The wiring harness was replaced with a period copy. The tires are aftermarket replacements, and the combat wheels were purchased as second hand items, sandblasted and painted. Seat covers are aftermarket copies. To the best of my knowledge the rest is original, save some fasteners and other small components. The goal from the beginning was to repair the major issues and re-paint to original military color leaving as much untouched as possible.

“1966 Jeep CJ-5 Tuxedo Park. This Jeep is not perfect but does run and drive. It is not an everyday vehicle. It is not currently tagged. I let the tags expire a few years ago. Does have a clean clear title. As you know, its not everyday you see one of these 60’s Jeeps for sale. Most of them rusted away. Pictures speak for themselves. It turns every head and sounds better than any Mustang. It has brand new custom dual exhaust with original barn find flow master mufflers. 3 speed transmission. Manual steering. A 1967 Jeep Wagoneer dauntless 350 V-8 (5.7L) was swapped into it. 33/14.50/15 Mickey Thompson tires. It’s low and wide. I do have soft doors for it (not pictured). I only have the bikini top because its just a toy. It was built for classic car cruising, small shows, and ice cream shops. I have piles of receipts. It is always garage kept. To clear a few things up. I am in no hurry to sell it and I only check my messages once a day. I am only taking best cash in hand offers after a few weeks listed.”

All the Willys with factory Jeep engines made it to the top without a problem. Breakdowns included a radiator vs. fan, and a broken steering rag joint. No one was left stranded.
