Given my joy with the gov-surplus Barth, I sometimes look for other Barth rigs. I didn't find a Barth, but I did find something similar. Anyone need a "project" out of Picatinny Arsenal?

What little I know about this, is from these ad documents presently shown on ebay:

It is made from aluminum framing welded together, with an alumninum skin. It appears to be a "low to the ground" rig and can fit on a C-130. I don't know if there are compartments down below. Engine choices are Ford 460 like this one or Cummins. The "Frontrunner" names refers to the front wheel drive.

I hate the idea of this being turned into aluminum beer cans. Cost was $119,588 back in '88, I don't know if that included the electronics systems which seem to have been present at one time.

It went for $3100. At that price, it can't be a scrapper, can it?
