That thing was noth worthy of pics.. There wasnt much WWII vintage anything on it. And thats what Rick and David Wong told the potential seller.

Everything looked to be sitting on a Dodge frame and it even had a modern Dodge steering wheel! I understand that people build "replicas" because actual vehicles are cost prohibative, but this was a hack job.

The seller might be able to get some unsuspecting person (who hasn't seen the show) to buy it for $10,000 or so.

For those who want pictures I'm sure you will be able to view the show somewhere on the internet.

The guy who owned it paid $25,000.00 for it. He didn't know it was a replica. It had a cummins dodge pickup engine also. It looked very nice but the guy had been ripped off.

What i dont get is why do people that have 25K dollars to spend dont look under the hood to see that it had a Dodge / Cummins engine.

Its like guys with 46's CJ's painted them army and adding things and calling them WW2 Jeeps.

A fool and his money will soon be parted. - Would be a nice way of putting it?

Why do you have to pay to watch it? It was on yesterday on regular TV.

Lets see if we can find pictures guys.
Um don't have TV... I can download the episode through iTunes = $$$

Yeah we use our monitor for things like movies and games.... No live football or baseball or car/truck races.

Not even cartoons for the kids!

Of course, with the stuff on TV that is filling our children's minds, maybe this is a good thing.

The Cummins engine isn't necessarily bad...but the Dodge suspension and steering colum where awful!

A fully restored command car with a modern Cummins engine would be worth a lot I'm sure, this thing however isn't worth that much. I'd actually rather have a CUCV with a cummins over that.
