Well on the sign it says its a Longtrack. Its in the threat id facility at nellis, they call it the petting zoo because they allow anyone who can get on the base to crawl all over these neat pieces.

From the dashboard shot, I'd say you'd need at least a Pilot's license to drive the critter!! Man, it would take years to figure out how to start the machine, much less drive one....

Not to mention it would probably take another 5 years to learn russian in order to interpret the gauges.

Wish the average GL truck looked that good, new seat covers and all. GL ad: " only needs Russian interpreter, running condition unknown, hours unknown, Buyer loads".

Perhaps condition code "F"? Who knows, this jammy might still run around. I probably could have got it running if i had more time, i was only there for a week and i had ligit work to do.

One of the P40 Mobile Radar vehicles sold recently in Europe and I've seen at least two more for sale. There is also a cargo version of the same vehicle that looks like a tracked cargo truck.

I can only imagine the shipping costs on something like that too!

 

[warewolf]

Yep, there are two of them for sale at this moment and shipping costs wouldn't as big as you think.
