UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17000.
Buck found this cool tribute to the early 6×6 Tuggs on eBay. It’s not wholly original, but it is wholly fun.
“This amazing 6×6 “Super Jeep” was built from scratch using military and civilian parts. This vehicle runs, stops, and drives nicely. The body is in perfect condition. No rust. Fresh paint. Brand new seats. This is is a replica of the 6×6 TUG Super Jeep that the US Army made only 15 prototypes of.
Key Specs/Features:
-Flathead 4 engine
-12V electrical system
-3 speed transmission

-The rear axle is powered via chain drive pillow block on the middle axle.
-Top speed 45 MPH
-Removable cargo racks
Extra items/parts:

Well how cool is that?
It’s an Olive Green MONSTER!!!!! It will haul some groceries I bet.
That is really neat, I want to see pics of the drive line!
I would call it a tribute rather than a replica.
You know, that is a better word. Good idea.
I would love to see the under carriage, the entire vehicle looks to bear witness and pay tribute to your passion of the era as well as craftmanship incorporated into a unique build. Seeing completed projects like this truely inspire, and work to lessen the bite of those infamous words spoken by so many wives across the globe,”When is that thing going to be out of the driveway…”. We shall all endeavor to persevere.
Dutch … no truer words have ever been put to paper (or in this case, into a comment box) 🙂
Man, I would love to see the underside of that thing.
FABULOUS
