GAZ 46 Soviet Amphibious Military Vehicle

[Leif in Calif]

Interesting vehicle, and bound to attract attention at every Cars-and-Coffee! They list a price of $141,000 but that would only make sense if it were Russian Rubles, which Google says equals $1,530.86

I thought the U.S. had a vehicle just like that built on a Jeep drive train. Would this be a lend lease vehicle?

No, this is not a lend lease vehicle. It was developed after WWII, but, of course, soviet engineers thoroughly examinated Ford GPA.😁

That thing has been listed for at least a year.

GPA was known as a "Seep"

This is the amphibious version of the GAZ69 light utility vehicle. Much like the US jeep the USSR also made an amphibious version of their "jeep".

 

I think it's grossly overpriced, most of these Russian vehicles are when they make it to the states. My old GAZ69 I restored years ago is currently for sale at $16K in NY on facebook marketplace if anyone wants a more affordable option (and even that seems high).

 

The GAZ69 and it's amphibious cousin for sale here are tough little overbuild vehicles. Parts are much more available than they were 20 years ago when I did mine with more ex eastern block countries now having internet. The trick is to get one that's not all worn out to start with, they tend to be run into the ground.
