Not for USA: Zibar-M

[haven]

Ido Cohen is an Israeli off-road racer and fabricator. His latest design is a custom vehicle for military markets. It's a light recon vehicle that looks like a tube buggy in olive drab:

The Zibar-M uses a full tube chassis, GM V8 crate motor, 4L80E transmission, Atlas II transfer case and Dynatrac 60 axles.

Reminds me of Soni Honegger's original Scorpion MkI and now MkII buggy.

Reminds me of Soni Honegger's original Scorpion MkI and now MkII buggy.

Looking at the pics, it appears to be a copy of the Scorpion to some degree, espescialy the central wishbone/air-bag. The scorpion might just might be the MOST capable 4x4 ever built. I've heard people at the Hammers complaining about how easy they made all the obstacles.

Cheers

Edit: Nevermind, it's just a three link unless those are cross connected air shocks...

Looks like there's a Zibar Mark 2 now. Same V8 goodness, 40 inch tall
tires, beefy axles, nonexistent overhangs front and rear.
