Ann’s aunt spotted this for sale in Kennewick. These GTBs are unusual enough I thought I’d post it. It runs and goes forward.

    Dave, aren’t these very low geared/low speed vehicles? In other words, even though they look very cool I imagine they’re much slower than a go-devil engined jeep (in regards to top speed), so you really couldn’t drive them on any public roads, could you?

    Steve, I meant to answer you about this … The answer is I have never ridden in one. But, I could imagine they’d be built to crawl. I don’t believe there’s much practical use for them. That said, I’m sure there are a few public roads a driver could take that on around where I live. 🙂

    This particular GTB looks like 25 MPH would be about tops. Actually these handle well with their short wheelbase and will run 50 MPH all day in good shape.. With the governor plate removed they wiil go 60 mph with their 6.66 rear ratio and 8.25x 20 tires quite well.
    Many of the hard to locate parts seem to be missing on the pictured unit.

    Are these diesel? This is actually parked in a field about 3 blocks from my house. It keeps catching my eye every time I drive past.

    I have a Burma Jeep that I want to sell. Absolute excellent condition. Used by BLM as a fire truck and has a 4 cyl eng. with a high pressure pump on the back. I have no idea how to set the value and would like some help. Thank you.

    John,

    The demand for these is pretty low. The one above was relisted in December 2013 for $1800 and still hasn’t sold. There are two projects down in California that are available also.

    I just looked and there are none available on eBay. I looked for some for sale via google and didn’t have much luck either.

    You could test the waters using the MVPA site: http://www.mvpa.org/publications/classifieds/
    Or you can list on eBay for what you want to sell if for and then accept bids/offers. That ought to give you a sense of what others value the vehicle at.

    I’m happy to list it on eWillys, but I doubt this is quite the right market. I suspect you’ll have better luck via the MVPA or eBay.

    – Dave
