Check Out This Wild Steam-Powered Jeep Wrangler 6x6 For Sale
Check Out This Wild Steam-Powered Jeep Wrangler 6x6 For Sale-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:46

For sale: a massive, huge, six-wheeled, fire-and-smoke-and-steam-breathing Jeep. Steam powerplant not included.

The big boiler is headed back to a steam power museum, while the rest of the Jeep is going up for sale at Pennsylvania’s Haük Designs.

What you get is not the V4 steam engine that manages to consume a 55-gallon tank of water to move the vehicle up to 1.5 miles, as reports, but you do get the rest of the six-wheel-converted Wrangler.

This means that sadly you will not be able to say that your Jeep gets a worst-in-class 0.03 miles per gallon (of water), but it’s still a strong choice for your driveway.

Also yes, it’s a six-speed manual.

More to the point, the idea of going with steam power just seems inherently right for a vehicle like this. Off-roading, particularly in Pennsylvania, kind of has a reclaim the old ways kind of vibe to it. You’re getting back into the feel of when going to work meant throwing levers and engaging actuators and doing big power things with big power machines.

A six-wheel drive Jeep is really the ideal vehicle to get you to the smelting factory at the top of a quarry, or whatever other work fantasy you might have. Just look at it power forward with absolute authority. A diesel truck looks at this thing with envy.

Price is on inquiry , but watch the above videos of the Jeep in action before you think about what powerplant should go back into this thing. Steam doesn’t seem like the worst idea.

At $18,900, Is This Turbine-Powered 1976 Bradley GT A Hilariously Good Deal?
Unlike the turbine-powered cars of yesteryear from the likes of Rover and Chrysler, today’s Boeing-powered Bradley doesn’t connect its turbine to the wheels. Instead, it uses the jet’s thrust for propulsion. Let’s see if there’s any connection between its fun and its price. While the ad for yesterday’s portended...

Pininfarina penned today’s Roll, although many argue that it is not the design house’s best work. Despite that, we will have to see if this classic Roller’s price tag works for us. Someone once said that when it comes to performance, there’s simply no substitute for displacement. I believe...
