Check Out This Wild Steam-Powered Jeep Wrangler 6x6 For Sale
Check Out This Wild Steam-Powered Jeep Wrangler 6x6 For Sale-May 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.

To destroy your enemy, you must find him, face him, and then... become him. That’s a tagline from what most film critics agree is the greatest movie ever made, Face/Off. It’s also a good way to sum up everything Cadillac has been up to in the last few years, and...

The seller of today’s E46 says that it’s currently “enthusiast owned.” It certainly pushes a lot of the buttons any car nut might want, but let’s see if it also pushes a price tag about which we can get enthused. How would your parents react if you told them you...

The 2016 Ford Focus RS Is God In Hatchback Form
The most impressive thing about the isn’t the Drift Mode or the fact that it’s stupidly fast on track without showing any sign of understeer. What you’ll really love is how refined and easy it is as a road car. No hot hatch ticks all the boxes quite like Ford’s...
