This is one is another prospect for a very cool restoration project.
Overlanding won't be a real market segment in the U.S. until there's a vintage category at the shows and races.
What do you mean? There's no U.S. expedition vehicle races yet?
One of these really belongs in a museum somewhere. A museum dedicated to how you survive in the Great White North. It would be a shame for these units, with all the parts, etc. to be broken up. (moment of silence)
But, if nobody up there is going to do that, they'd make a very interesting vintage platform for a period-correct camper box.
This is a potential package deal. They've got two of these and it looks like you may need to combine the two of them to get one running. At a minimum, you'd probably want the second unit for spares.
