Sold from 1965 up until the early 1970s this is the most popular of GI Joe's vehicles. It is also known as the Five Star Jeep.
It is actually a jeep and trailer. The main feature of this is the 106mm recoilless rifle which fires the projectiles seen in the back of the jeep. It also has a working searchlight. Morse Code is molded onto the back of the searchlight, it makes a handy reference source.
There is quite a bit to this set, I think it may require a second post.
I'l let the boy comment when he gets home. He's gone for the weekend with Shaun to a military vehicle festival. What's fun for some.....!
A military vehicle fair sounds like fun. When there is one here I will be there.
Thank you

I too had the Jeep with my G.I. Joe!! Though, I didn't have the gun, trailer or search light. This is really cool!!
Excellent Jscott0. Sounds like you had the Adventure Team version.
Thank you

Thank you SEAN68.
Woah! You know I've been looking for any GI Joe, hell, ANY jeep big enough for Joe at a good price. But I'll keep the search up. But anyway very cool item, it must be pretty big. I remember seeing that in a commercial. BUT THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!!

Thank you very much Vincent. There is a Hasbro Willys jeep made around 2000 and the Soldiers of the World/Formative jeep. That may possibly be in Austrailia. Good luck.
Thank you kyratango.
