  • 1975 Pinzgauer 710K

    1975 Pinzgauer 710K

    The Pinzgauer 710 was a military vehicle manufactured in the UK by Austria’s Steyr-Daimler-Puch (now Steyr Motors) from 1971 to 1985 and which was used by many a military around the world. This is also one of the best off-road vehicles ever made, although it’s not the best on-road vehicle, given four cylinder power and…

  • Super Rare (in US) Peugeot P4

    Super Rare (in US) Peugeot P4

    Celebrate the potential return of Peugeot and/or Citroen to the US market with an oddball, French military Peugeot product, which should also be a thoroughly capable off-roader.

  • Mid-Engine Military Volvo

    Mid-Engine Military Volvo

    We in the US didn’t see them often, but Volvo made some thoroughly impressive and interesting military vehicles over the years.  This C303 platform was under many truly a go-anywhere vehicles, and today’s feature is the “TGB 1111” variant, which means it’s the (sporty?) cabriolet version. The seller provides almost no information, but we know…

  • Psuedo-HMMWV Custom Off-Roader

    Psuedo-HMMWV Custom Off-Roader

    The seller claims this was built for desert warfare at a cost of over $100K; but doesn’t say by whom nor how that adds up to a $9,900 asking price today.  Regardless, it’s certainly odd. This was apparently built to be seriously durable and the images back that up, what with beefy axles and suspension.…

  • Cool Oddity or just Waste of Taxpayer Money?

    Cool Oddity or just Waste of Taxpayer Money?

    Supposedly, this “Baha style” (SIC) oddity was the result of SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) grants to the tune of $1.5M (click for link to one grant).  We don’t know exactly how that works, but it would seem that some sucker might call this a bargain at $16,500.  On the other hand, it’s not clear…

  • Munga means Mehrzweck UNiversal Geländewagen mit Allradantrieb

    Munga means Mehrzweck UNiversal Geländewagen mit Allradantrieb

    Which, in  turn, means “multi-purpose universal cross-country car with all-wheel drive”, at least if we trust Wikipedia.  This 1960 DKW Munga is super-rare in the US.  Be the only one in your zip code! The seller provides almost no information, except that an extra chassis is included in the sale (?!).  At a $1,200 asking…

  • If it Floats Like a DUKW and Drives Like a DUKW.  It’s a DUKW.

    If it Floats Like a DUKW and Drives Like a DUKW. It’s a DUKW.

    The DUKW, known as the Duck, was a World-War II amphibious 6×6 truck.  These often do tour duty, these days, so it’s not too surprising this was someone’s dream in Newport Beach, CA. The seller claims the hull was recently blasted and primed and that the engine was rebuilt, though hasn’t been started since (how…

  • Are you Considering a WWII Reenactment?

    Are you Considering a WWII Reenactment?

    If the answer is yes, then  you might just need this 1942 White half track! The seller claims this truck saw action in WWII and Korea and has lived in Northern California for quite some time. You NEED this in your collection! Click for Craigslist ad Studio City, CA $8,000 Here’s the front view.  It…

  • Meatball command?  VolvoTP21 Sugga Command car

    Meatball command? VolvoTP21 Sugga Command car

    Volvo had AWD/4WD vehicles long before Judge Reinhold climbed under one in the late 90s.  Here we have a Swedish military command vehicle which mostly speaks for itself. Are you a Volvo fan?  Might you be a huge fan of the Swedish military?  This could be the car for you!  The seller claims it doesn’t…

  • Land Rover 101FC

    Land Rover 101FC

    These beasts don’t come up for sale often, but they’re awfully cool.  This could be just right for an eccentric collector. This one has apparently been re-engined with a modern Rover 3.9L V8.  The seller goes out of his or her way to point out how fast this vehicle is, which is a bit odd,…
