Cheapest presentable/driveable example I've seen is $65k, seen them as high as $100k. If your serious in buying one now :wink: lemme know, I can help you find one.

They're 4 wheel drive but can be 2 wheel (front axle only) as well by switching a lever. They were actually not used too much as amphobious cars during the war, most were sent in remote offroad sites where it's 4x4 capablities were needed.
