Found this at a flea market. Has aluminum plates and coffee pot all in one heavy box.

Score!

I've thought about getting one of those off and on, but never seen one in that good of shape, or for a reasonable price.

 

[Driver-Navigator]

Very nice!

they had one of those at a local mil surplus store a year ago or so. They had a price tag of $450 on it. I know it is not there now, figure someone must have ponied up some change for it.
I have the Italian version and love it. These things are so complete and compact it is unbelievable.
Great find.

It's nice, but not for $450.00. Someone must have wanted it bad. Years ago my wife came home and told me some girl at work husband had a jeep for sale. Told her to find out what it was and how much.

1500.00 later I had a m151a2 mutt with trailer. Military collectors pay a lot for this stuff.

Yes , I sold it. Nice with no rust and ran great.
