Have a passion for historic military vehicles? This 1957 MM1 Teracruzer FWD is one of the few known to exist and can be yours for around 22,000 bucks. It needs a bit of restoration but it should turn out into a neat thing from the past to have in the collection.
What you see here can be easily considered the original monster truck. The Teracruzer has been used by the US Air Force in the Cold War to carry those huge Mace missiles. It’s made mostly out of aluminum and that FWD marking means all four of those chunky wheels on the bogeys are powered.
There’s also the option to couple all the wheels to work, making for a staggering 8-wheel drive system and each one of them can be inflated or deflated by pressing a button in the cabin.
There, you’ll find four seats and because this unit is fit with the “troop transport” package, you can also take people in the back. The transmission and V6-71 General Motors diesel engine are said to work OK, with the whole truck being used for only about 900 hours / 3000 miles (4,828 km).
The seller said he’s offering the Teracruzer with five spare tires (the current ones should be changed) and can also provide a video of the machine in operation state to serious inquirers. The truck is located in Portland, Oregon, and he’s asking $22,250 (€19,430) or best offer.
