Stu,
We have a 1969 M715 that we use for a driver. After we got rid of the
problem with it not running in the rain it has turned out to be a great
vehicle. We don't need to do much highway running so it isn't too bad. It
has the original 230 engine and it runs fine. They can be a bit on the
noisey side and some of my passengers find that annoying, but it doesn't
bother me. Our vehicle is stock so when it rains the wipers are slow and the
defroster is marginal to say the least. In heavy rain my left leg sometimes
gets a little wet, but I wouldn't trade this vehicle for any other. The
original military tires wear out fast on the hard pavement and sometimes
will go out of round giving you some vibration. Hope some of this info helps
you decide.
