UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $9000
“1973 M561 Gama Goat truck
This truck is a beast and should be take seriously. All military issue, recently checked over by a lifelong military mechanic. I can only list some of the awesomeness of this truck so please call.
6×6
All wheel drive
Four wheel steering
Chevrolet 454 V8 engine and 700r4 transmission mated to original T-case
Throttle body style FUEL INJECTION
Custom roll cage
All Aluminum body including trailer
COMPLETE MANUAL SET!!!! worth over 1000!!!
All original MILITARY ISSUE trailer seating, covers, tarps, and GPS computer included
So many extra parts still in original packaging…There are boxes full!!!
Registered, insured and legal to drive on the street, can do freeway speeds”
Not the kind of tires I was issued but much better. Drove these for four years. Never got stuck.
Did they really come with a Chevy 454?
That monster engine sits right behind the front seats, and I still remember how loud it was. Rode in these in the Army (Ft Campbell, I think) and wearing hearing protection was mandatory.
3-53 Detroit Diesel was the stock power plant {I”m almost sure}; or maybe 4-53. Both “screamin’ Jimmy” LOUD!!
The engine is not “military issue”. As boomer stated the 3-53 Detroit is the stock engine. That roll cage is nice, but again not an original military option. Nice ‘goat, but not stock.
They were designed to be amphibious as well! A friend here has a similar engine mod with disc brakes and 49 inch tires.
I hated those things !! had to turn in my Jeep 5/4 for one !
Is this still available? Need freight quote to Trenton, NJ 08638 if possible.
