The Heck with Lambo, here's my new dream buggy.

Legacy Power Wagon

and more available!

I think that replaces the Icon built trucks as a new dream truck.

Very un-grassroots pricing, like the Icon trucks.

Pricey indeed, but if one is to spend $115k(or $170k for the four door diesel I like), they're probably expecting to be buried in it.

If I were a rich schmuck, I think I'd get one... and keep it around 40-50 years.

berkeley that. Even as much as I pine for a Power Wagon, there is no damn reason to pay house money for one.

Couldn't you diy that for about 1/10 the price?

Seeing as how I'm willing to part with my Ram for 600 bucks and you could do everything to it that they do that thing, yes.

Actually, looking through their site, these folks are retarded. Power Wagons are great, and more modern and updated ones are even better, but here's the thing, all that modern E36 M3 replaces the old as dirt but stupid reliable parts that made the old ones so great. And quite frankly, 250 grand for a woodie power wagon? What the berkeley are they smoking? Aside from the fact that the price tags on these things means nobody intelligent would use them as trucks, you can buy a 4BT for about 4 grand and a restored Power Wagon for 40 grand. Where does the massive price jump come from?

You want a Cummins powered crew cab Dodge that looks cool as E36 M3? Buy one from the 70s and build it yourself.

If you had the skills, the ambition and the time.

Crap, my still-under-construction garage isn't big enough to work on trucks...

If I was a Sam Walton heir, I would buy one of these, speed around the ranch (read: All of Arkansas), and shoot at things.

Which, the people buying these things have none of the previous mentioned qualities.

His grandson is a spoiled schmuck, my little sister was in high school with him. Some of the BS he pulled on school grounds with his lifted 4*4 would have gotten the rest of us suspended, expelled, or arrested.

produce fiberglass repro cabs, beds, fenders etc. and sell 'em kit car style over later model truck chasseezes ftw

Restoring and swapping an old truck is as easy as it gets.

Wow. Lotto car.

But those who would rather not and can afford for others to take care of the work, this vehicle is a nice alternative. How much would it cost for a restoration effort performed to the same level of quality?

That is on the Loto list for sure. A 4 door in OD green with my Active Duity truck number on it.

I occasionally look for old project Power Wagons with day dreams of dropping the cab (extended)and bed on my Ram chassis... Where's that "top 25 projects" thread...

Sadly, no room (nor money) to attempt such a project.

I have the skills, ambition, and time to restore another car, but also the money to be able to buy one already done. Am I now less of a car guy? My Garage has a $5000 Austin Mini, $15,000 Datsun 1500 and $150,000 Ferrari. I enjoy all of them for what they are. Does the fact that one is worth good money make me not worthy of the "grassroots" label? On a side note, out of those 3, the Mini is the most fun, go figure.

I DEMAND the Dino be added to the readers rides.

Hmm... not cheap, but grab it before Legacy does:
