History: This vehicle was commissioned to the U.S. military in 1973 as an M-35 A2 and assigned V.I.N. 054010965. In 1996, the vehicle was purchased privately and sent back to AM General where it was completely reconditioned and converted to an M-35 A3. I purchased the vehicle in early 2003 with less than 500 miles since the reconditioning, In 2004 I contracted with Ultra Hauler of Corona, California to remove the "Conestoga Wagon" back and build the motor home coach works.

Miscellaneous: This is an American Built Vehicle. The "Cat" engine and Allison transmission can be serviced at local dealers. Parts are available. Many parts can be purchased at military surplus sites at excellent prices. It is a relatively simple vehicle because military requirements significantly limited the use of computers and other electronic devices that could compromise it's reliability. The vehicle comes with all operation and service manuals on CD.

On Board Tools Include:

Large hand tools (sockets an wrenches)

Air tools

Power socket wrench (NATO plug)

Spare parts include rear axle and 24 volt generator

One spare tire and wheel with vehicle and a second for storage.

I think that's been up. Maybe the price is exactly what he wants: "I don't know honey, I put it up for sale but nobody is calling on it. I guess we'll have to keep it."

Cool:drool: and the price is:Wow1: Imagine all the questions while fueling up at the fuel station. Oh, be ready for the entire rig to be searched at any border crossing. On positive note a person would most likely not break into the rig while boondocking thinking that wrath of the US army would be handed to them.
