Hercules JXD engine and crash box transmission have been replaced with a
Chevrolet 454 V8 and Turbo hydromantic transmission . Nothing on the
vehicle that shows has been modified so the appearance is 100 % original
but its now a pleasure to drive with auto and 200 more H.P. The 37MM
Canon is a live registered weapon . Price as shown is $49,000.00 .
Without the live gun but with a real 37MM barrel installed just for
appearance.

Russian BTR-40Armored Car 4X4

This is a very nice BTR-40 with an unusual history. It was built in 1960, the Russians sold it to the Egyptian Army and it was captured by the Israeli's in the 1973 war with Egypt. The Israeli's had captured many of these so eventually they were all put through a rebuild program and were fitted with standard US built Dodge M-37 T-245 engines and other standard components that they had access to, so parts are no problem. The vehicle is in excellent condition in and out, runs and drives great and is titled and licensed. It has 5 machine gun mounts (2 on each side and 1 up front). Vehicle weight is 11,700 pounds and it comes with 5 new Russian tires marked (CCCP). Please call with any questions you might have or for additional information.
Price: $26,000.00

Armored Cadillac-Gage V-100 XM-706, U.S. Army Model

This is a fully restored V-100/XM-706 as used by the ARVN and U.S. Army during the Vietnam War.  These were used for various security and convoy escort duties, and proved essential during the 1968 Tet Offensive. Several other countries, including Turkey, Lebanon, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, and Guatemala also have used this model V-100. It features a functional turret which mounts either twin .30 machine guns or a .30/.50 combination.

This V-100 is being fully restored from the ground up and is nearly finished. Blasted and repainted from bare metal, it has been painted in the correct colors inside and out for the Vietnam period.
