M151a2s

[GM72K10]

Got my Father's M151a2s to run today after a long hard winter. Sadly he passed away in February but I'm taking his place in the local Memorial day parade with one of them. Thought I would share. One is a 71 and one a 77. One a Ford the other a AMG. Thanks to Rick Theirs on advice on getting them up and going!

Awesome MUTTs. Sorry to hear about your dad passing.

Best thing to keep them running is not to use ethanol gas. Very nice mutts.

yeah we go through long storage periods here in mn going from season to season aviation gas has a sitting life span of 3 years and the extra octane ca'nt hurt lol...

IMO, the M151A2 is an underappreciated military vehicle. It is small enough to fit in a garage. It is tactical so it still has the cool factor. Prices are fairly reasonable. And, it can be driven as a daily driver if you wanted to do so. I love mine. I got mine from Joe Young. Joe did a restoration, but then the vehicle sat in a leaky garage for about 10 years...so, while it is really clean, I would consider it an older restoration given the slight weathering. I added an NOS ROPS kit and an NOS fuel burning heater. I also replaced the tires, which had dried from sitting.
