$18800 is not unreasonable in truth...

The .50 cal doesn't fire. So what's the point in buying it? :confused:

You could always mount something on it that does fire :machinegun: , or toss molotov cocktails out of the truck bed. :hysterical: Sweet looking truck though.

Molotovs are kind of steep at $200 a throw...

Well, I just showed Mama and she liked it and approved. She said if I can Sh%& $19K, I can have it.

That hurts, I'd rather she just looked at me and shake her head like she did when I wanted to buy a P51 Mustang

Now all you need is to convert that big .50 to a gas gun :fireright:

Holy tomato bisque is that freaking halftrack?! My grandad drove one of those in the war, his gunner got shot to hell. Oh if only I had the money it would be bought! :clapping:

That is not a Half-Track. It is an M35(probably A2) 2 1/2 ton 6X6 truck, AKA "a deuce and a half". That particular truck happens to have no power steering 3 1/2 turns lock to lock, with a penchant for breaking thumbs if you got one caught while it was returning to center, a 5 speed manual transmission with an odd shift pattern (up-over-down for 3rd to 4th gear). It may or may not be turbocharged, if it has a turbo, it won't have a muffler, but it will have an incredible 134 horsepower, no turbo means more like 110. If it is a real canvas roof, not the newer rubberized covers, will rain harder inside the cab than outside when you are driving up the interstate a top speed of 56 miles an hour. Air conditioning consists of being able to open a small screened door on each side and tilting the windshield out. Heat is what comes into the uninsulated cab from the engine compartment. It is all yours for the taking, I think I would rather pick up one of the M923 5 tons that are routinely going through EBay for less money but needing paint...

Oh, it's kinda hard to see the tires. It does look a little like one though. My mistake!
