The only problem with that Red, some military "gadget nut" will buy it up. I do work for a guy who has one of these. The difference between this one and the one he has, this guy can put real guns on it, no fakes here. He wants me to cut the swing axle out of it and go with a side shift 6 rib and maybe put a echo tech in it. They are real heavy and way under powered for what they are suppose to do. |

Heavier than mine even?.?.?  You are right though Mike. An army toy collector will probably pay that for it. |

My buddy stopped at an army museum in Illinois a couple years back and they had an awesome turbo outfront subie powered, a arm long travel border patrol buggy with all the goodies sitting out with the deuces and stuff on half flat tires... Can't wait until they start giving those away for pennies on the dollar...

Not surprised there under powered, military vehicles seem to be under powered a lot, really a 6.5 in a humvee, we could have done a lot better than that exapecially when soldiers lives count on it. |

The vehicle he has looks pretty correct, but his biggest problem is that he's got no history to showing the pedigree or provenance of the vehicle. If it's a real Fast Attack Vehicle that came from the Army, then it's likely worth it to a collector. The problem is that I've seen several very good clones over the years and very few actual FAV's. The military dune buggies were built off of commercially available chassis's back in the day, so it's not hard to do one if you have the dedication. Like anything of historical value, if you don't have the papers, there's no way to prove the legitimacy. Very good clones typically sell for $10k or less. I saw one about 70% of the way to completion sell for under $3k in Idaho. Make fun of someone for wanting a piece of history, but we all have our hobbies and some are willing to pay for it. Painting it camo and getting 3x the value doesn't work out that way. It's why you can build an M1D for $1000, but a legitimate one showing it's real (not a clone) sells for $5000 when they're auctioned off through the CMP. It's also why people buy a Willy's MB versus a CJ2 or an M38 over a CJ3 - it's all about what interests us. I've got both a Chenowth Desert Patrol Vehicle (3 seats, 124 made) and a Chenowth SEAL "Squad" Vehicle (6 seats, 12 made) and can prove the history and pedigree of both of them. In my case, these vehicles were free, but I've had several museums call offering very tempting offers on them. They're more fun than I'm willing to get rid of at the moment and they might be handy to have around for retirement or the kids college fund one day. |
