Check Out This Wild Steam-Powered Jeep Wrangler 6x6 For Sale
Check Out This Wild Steam-Powered Jeep Wrangler 6x6 For Sale-December 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 $26,400, Could This 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa Get You To Say 'Meh' To Miles?
At $26,400, Could This 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa Get You To Say 'Meh' To Miles?
Today’s 911 has more miles than Ken Burns’ The History of Jazz. That means it’s used up, right? Well, according to its seller, it’s actually just getting started. Let’s see if that start should include a new owner. “Giving it your all” is an important element of any successful...

Would You Be Willing To Drop $3,985 On This 1993 Nissan 300ZX Droptop?
Would You Be Willing To Drop $3,985 On This 1993 Nissan 300ZX Droptop?
Sports cars may not be all that popular in today’s crossover-crazy market, but there are still enthusiast caches that appreciate their cachet. With an automatic and total lack of turbos, today’s 300ZX may not be dressed for that success, but could its price make up for what’s missing? I...

At $55,000, Could This Custom 2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Put You At A Distinct Advantage?
At $55,000, Could This Custom 2011 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Put You At A Distinct Advantage?
Most Aston Martins over the years have carried the DB name, a homage to the cottage car maker’s one-time owner, David Brown. Today’s Aston eschews that tradition, as well as that of British reserve in its bold choice of wheels. Let’s determine if its price is just as cheeky....

At $4,500, Could This 1986 Ford LTD Wagon Have Unlimited Appeal?
At $4,500, Could This 1986 Ford LTD Wagon Have Unlimited Appeal?
Today’s LTD comes with an underwhelming 3.8 V6 under its hood, but as the seller helpfully points out, there’s room there for the 5.0 V8. That is an appealing aspiration, but will its current price put it out of reach? There’s no shame in being basic. Seriously, having a...

This Super-Rare Diesel Jeep Cherokee XJ For Sale In Idaho Shares Its Engine With A Winnebago
Diesel are a dime a dozen in Europe, with the most common ones coming with the overheating-prone VM Motori 2.5-liter turbodiesel. In the U.S., though, diesel XJs are pretty much nonexistent, because very few were ever sold here. The ones that were had a gutless engine shared with a...

Here Are The Most Common Illegal Things Car Dealerships Will Try To Do
Buying a car from a dealer isn’t nearly as bad as it used to be. Unfortunately, there are still some stores that care more about profit than happy customers and will even go so far as to do some unscrupulous and even illegal activity to make a buck. Here...
