8X8 Amphibious Monster

[RIC-H0]

How's this for an offroad in the water monster!
Found it on a government surplus listing. It says it's a one of a kind! It also mentioned that the military only paid $1000 for it!?
I find that hard to believe!
It's for sale if anyone wants it!
Here's the link for more pics and info (http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=564199&convertTo=USD)

how does it run?
Is it diesel?
Is street legal

[RIC-H0]

I doubt it's street legal(No Blinkers!LOL)
I'm sure it doesn't run very fast!
The dash seems to be partially torn out, but it may be a case of upwardly mobile rats!
The engine looks to be diesel, but it doesn't say!
Why, you want it!?

I woould probably have a hard time parallel parking on the street in the city http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[RIC-H0]

Parallel parking is simple. Just park ontop of other vehicle. As long as you are parallel to the curb right! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

It looks like something based off the LAV. With the top part of the armor off, it might do 70mph. Has a 6 cyl diesel I guess.

Come on don't disrespect the LAV like that http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

This looks like one of those Dakar race vehicles. Cool race, that when you can ever get to see it.

I assume the wheels in the rear, mounted high, are to give it some pretty good departure angle numbers http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif.
