FORD M151A1 MUTT, US ARMY 2N 4813, US$25,000.00
http://bcoy1cpb.pacdat.net/m151a1.htm
One of a kind survivor? Only one known to be available. Foir the "jeep" nut
who has everything ... except this.
Owner is Roy Van Wicklin owner of 4WD BY VAN. He acquired this MUTT in 1989
and it STILL has only 19 miles on the odemeter (see photo on web site)! All
of the data plates are there and they even have the protective plastic still
on them - not yet peeled off! All of the sepcial mine detector gear is
apparently still on the vehicle. Made 1967?
There are lots of photos of this vehicle on the web site and Van has more
photos to show a serious buyer. Vehcile is registered in California, and
stored in a garage in Las Vegas.
Original (apaprently) markings still on the vehicle including the military
registration:
US ARMY
2N 4813
NOTE: There is some damage as the photos show. The vehicle sat in US Army
facilities for years and the rear tail panel shows damage. There is also
evidence of torch cuts. A buyer should look to see if this MUTT was cut in
half and rewelded or if there is another explanation. One can also see old
gun tape (?) residue on various parts of the vehicle/equipment.
I have not seen the vehicle myself, only photographs, but have known Van for
some years now.
If interested in finding out more, his phone number is:
Roy Van Wicklin
Phone (702) 655-6076
FAX (702) 656-5911
Van is a WWII US paratrooper veteran (South Pacific) and travels world wide
(if he is not home, keep trying, as he is sometimes in the UK, Japan etc.)
but he is not on the Inernet. I am helping him out by hosting his ad and
spreading the word.
Similar mine detector gear was mounted on M38A1 jeeps in Vietnam (Roy has a
photo of one from a vet).
