    Just got this email looks like you guy`s can't leave your car any where,
    Sorry it`s an O/T car but every set of extra eye`s help.

    Well here we go again my 1933 willys Vicky was stolen from the Wall Mart parking lot in Torrance Ca. 8-11-11 while parked only a few moments to pick something up. They also got my 2001 gmc truck and trailer but they found them that night they took very little from truck as we were packed up for the Big Bear Car show more to follow.

    The car belongs to my friend Ray Fields from So. Bay area. Fucking thieves need their hands cut off!!!:mad: Good luck Ray, I hope you recover your ride! A bit late but there's a good buy on Lo Jack, about 60% off. How much is your ride worth? Stay proactive, not reactive... desperate times ahead! :confused:

    Good luck on reuniting the owner with his Willy's ...... If the guys that stole it are any type of professional that car is prob on its way to some Cuban drug lords mansion. All though with all the title hacks selling " Historical Docuements" out there it would be easy enough to switch that car up a lil (Vin number and color ) and move it to the east coast . Ive always wondered if that has ever happened?

    I didn't even know that 33 Willys Vickys existed unless that is a one off so that makes it pretty hard to get rid of. That car is either headed out of the country or it's in some shop being taken apart for parts for another car.

  7. Factory never did make a Vicky model, but there have been a few (very few) one offs out there...if it is not parted out, that should make it a bit easier to spot. Very nice looking car...I like the '34 front end, and they did a beautiful job of stretching the door and eliminating the opera window look. Hope the owner gets it back. Had a 60's Mustang stolen (way back when)...you'd like to get your hands on the guy!!!!

    Did you ask the folks at walmart security if they had cameras pointed in the area where you were parked??? If so, ask if you could view the film!!!

    Never a factory model but someone did make a phantom glass body - which this is. There are very few of them out there, so even with a re-paint it should be easy to track if it shows up in one piece.

    This really sucks though and I hope it is recovered quickly. The HAMB has one of the strongest Willys followings in existence, so let's hope for a happy ending....

    I just got back from a weekly cruise where everyone knows the owner. What I heard is that the car wasn't insured for theft. Witnesses saw a guy jump into the cab and start the truck. The thief drove off the curb with the trailer in tow,

    My dad had one of these vicky's. They are made in Florida just north of Tampa. The guys name is Ken. He made the mold from a 4door sedan body. Last i heard maybe 10 were built but if i'm wrong there isn't anymore than 20 out there.
