I've never heard of these, but one is up for auction near me.
From what little info I can find, they were built on the old Jeep frames and drive trains.

Not that I have any need, but for now it's just 5 dollars! 😜

I could use that! I had a Ford GPW Jeep growing up, sorry I sold it. Still have some parts from it.

I would cost me $5000 to get it down here where I Live.  :smiley_nah:

That's my bid. Don't figure it will go that cheap though.

Unique machine for certain. The bidding is closed now. Anybody know what it finally sold for?

I did a little more research and found that it sold for $3000. Not a bad price for what one is getting. Probably would not take a lot of work to get it running again either.

Yep, $3100 and they said they'd got it running the night before the auction. Didn't start at the auction, guy flooded it.
