Pretty amazing isn't it?
The story is, (Now that I got someone's attention)
A farmer loved the Deuce trucks so much that he contacted
the AM General factory and ordered 3 new vehicles to
be manufactured for him. Once again, This truck is
BRAND NEW. He decided that 3 was too many and is trying to
liquidate one unit.
You are quite right, the government probably
pays $150k for these machines. They have the updated engines,
electrical, transmissions and winches. This is not a straight
from the DRMO truck that you can buy for $5000.
I did not think anyone would be interested in purchasing it
really, just want to let everyone know what is out there!
