I wonder if you can just buy one at the local navistar dealer or if you need to be a government.

I'd take #2. Looks good for the commute.

Weld some steel plates on top of this for a roof, and do it in style!

1 I like because of the windows all being screened. Zombies can't just bust a window and get in. They gotta get past the screens of death! (electrical charge optional, batteries not included)

So, why does that tank treaded Carrera GT not have a plow on the front with teeth spray painted on it? That would make it a better ZAV.

That and a roof. And some wood paneling.

Not mine, etc, but is an automatic if that matters to you. I do know where you can get another one (NOT running) with a 5 speed.

These would be a more comfortable ZAV I'd think...

Nice, although you can expect semi-like efficiency on both...

If Toyota wasn't the Japanese GM when it comes to building interesting cars (oh wait, that's unfair, GM at least builds the Corvette) they'd offer a Hilux modified like the ones in District 9...

(Mounted gun options available only in Texas )

I never heard of a ZAV untill seeing threads on this forum mentioning them. I put an engine and tranny in a mud truck the past couple weekends and every time I see the truck, thanks to you guys I keep thinking ZAV!!! AHAHAHA It's like a song ya can't get out of your head! LOL.. It NEEDS this, it NEEDS that!

The truck is a crew cab with an 8' bed. right now it's got some little tires on it so we could get the engine in it, then the 52's are going on. Some accessories like the ones in the pic above would be right at home on the truck. Owner in pic.

I still am tempted by my original idea for the Olds and build a Mad Max/ZAV out of it. Then again I have 2 of the things now and I know where there is an old Monte for $500...

EDIT:

You know what we should do is come up with some sort of ZAV challenge...

So zombie cutouts in the autox course, bonus points for taking out zombies without taking out cones.

Concourse could have a target range with one specified (and home built only please) zombie annihilating vehicle mounted weapon of your choice competing for accuracy and build quality.

Drag? Let Andy build the Zombie chase car and you have to outrun it....

Yeah....ZAV challenge for the win!!
