Just what every red blooded American boy needs. 
The M3 half-track emerged as a pivotal vehicle during World War II, evolving from its predecessor, the M2 half-track car. Widely adopted by Allied forces, it served prominently across all major theaters of the war. American, British Commonwealth, and Soviet Red Army troops relied on its versatility, using it for a range of roles from personnel carriers to self-propelled artillery and anti-aircraft platforms. This adaptability was underscored by the production of numerous variants tailored to specific combat needs, a testament to its rugged design and operational flexibility.
Powered by a rebuilt White 160AX six-cylinder engine, displacing 386 cu-in and generating 147 horsepower and 325 ft-lb of torque
Maximum cruising speed of 45 mph with a maximum range of 200 miles.
3.3 miles per gallon is impressive mileage. Is this legal to drive on the street?

Maybe it is legal in your state but I have not been able to get a title or registration for the halftrack as hard as I try. When it comes to Veterans Day and Memorial Day, I drive it in the parade anyway. It is insured by Hagerty and there is not a sheriff in the county that would stop and ticket a military vehicle full of veterans in uniform waving American flags. I have not ever checked the fuel mileage and do not really care to. You should come down to Florida and drive it yourself. It's a blast.
