UPDATE: Nathan purchased this rig (listed for sale in July of 2018. You can follow his rebuild of it here: https://www.instagram.com/xm195_rebuild/ 

From the ad: “Rare dodge XM195 military prototype vehicle built in 1950. 3 of these were made for the military to test. This is the only known survivor. This vehicle is a smaller version of the dodge M37. This vehicle was intended to be a possible replacement for the Jeep. The bed of the truck is missing. It does have many original parts. It does have original dated tires and has original bead clips still in the rims. This truck does not run. It does need extensive restoration.”

UPDATE: Still Available.

“It’s a military mechanical mule. A M274 A5. 4×4. It’s in pretty good condition considering its age. Oil looks clean and the motor still turns over.
The guy I brought from said it still ran when his brother parked it, before he passed away. It needs some tlc and two more tires. I have two tires already that will work. Make me an offer/trade. I have too many projects going.”

Needs a little work.

“Custom built mini Jeep has 420cc engine with 780 series torque converter on it, runs and drives needs electric start wired up and a couple other things but it has a dump bed with tailgate custom built fuel tank tons of hours in sheet metal work and fabrication truly a one of a kind come take a look no trades will sell for 500 without motor and torque converter”

Not many of these Fiat Campagnolas in the states.

“1978 Fiat Campagnola – Basically an Italian Land Rover Defender.
4 wheel drive, simple, unbreakable off road vehicle.

Clean title in hand. Purchased two years ago August 2017 from a classic car dealership. I was looking for a tough all weather, off road rig to take me on back country adventures. One that could handle all weather and terrain. Then one day I discovered the Campagnola. I met a guy in a parking lot getting into his 1979 Campagnola (different rig). Smitten with It’s unique simplicity and rugged design I approached him to inquire about it. Turns out he’s a collector and had just returned from Italy with three of them. He said he had a special model for sale with a classic car dealership. He described this 1978 as being the most authentic of the three. It was the last year for this model which has more of the original features. He shared some specs and stories of how he drove this particular rig off road in the Alps in a blizzard, up and over snowbanks was easy and the heater rocks.

“Has a small block Chevy. Hasn’t tan in probably 20+ years. Bunks included, needs some work. Fuel tank in bunk area ready to be installed.”

This is a pretty cool racer, especially if you like Pepsi or collect Pepsi collectibles.

(04/10/2018) I’ve never seen a production steering setup like that one. It goes over the top of the hood.

“Military 4 x 4 Volvo Jeep, 4 speed transmission, ideal for rugged off road, registered and street legal. This is a must see! Great for parades too! $14,000. or best offer.”

Chuck shared this nice looking Nissan Patrol. Strangely, it has a Utah plate on the front and an NC plate on the back.

https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/d/concord-1982-nissan-patrol-lg61-super/6909291983.html

“The Nissan Patrol’s legend was shaped by drivers in some of the world’s most inhospitable places. It quickly built its reputation as a tough, reliable and innovative addition to the motoring industry. This real man’s truck became iconic, lauded for its tough nature and undying loyalty to those who drove it.

This is one truck that people will stop, turn around and come back to look at it. They have never seen one in their life. I get more reactions from this truck than from my two previous Toyota Land Cruisers – FJ40 and FJ43. One thing I can say for sure is that the build quality and the ride are way better than the Toyota FJ40. The Nissan Patrol was a very expensive truck back when it came out, more expensive than the Toyota.

This particular truck is a very rare long wheel base version that never came to the States, with a 4-speed manual transmission (a lot only came with 3-speed). The manual steering is superb compared to the FJ40; it is very easy to maneuver this truck. The 4×4 works great.

The odometer currently reads 66,000 kms or 41,000 miles, but it probably turned over once, so I woud assume it has 166,000 kms or 103,000 miles. This classic 4×4 starts up with the first turn of the key and purrs like a kitten. The 4.0L inline 6-cylinder engine is smoother and stronger than the competition. This vehicle was legally imported from South America.”

I can’t tell if it needs much work or not.

I’ve never seen one of these bodies. Unfortunately, the Dune Buggy Archives site isn’t working correctly, so I can’t tell what type of body it is.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2213957445367707/

“Full length Dune buggy pickup/truck. Pretty rare find. I believe it is sitting on a 1962 chassis, linkpin front, swing axle rear. Motor turns over freely but not running. ” NO TITLE””

Unlike hacked jeeps, I haven’t seen many Bronco jalopies like this.
