***UPDATED PHOTOS***

1985 Military CUCV M1009 with M105A1 trailer. Bought in 2013 and extensively upgraded and restored as below. Used as my daily driver for years. It has the Detroit Diesel 6.2 liter 135 hp naturally aspirated V8, non-turbo engine, with 3-speed automatic transmission, that starts every time. This is the same engine that was installed in the first generation HMMWVs. Over 70,000 CUCVs were made between 1983 and 1986. The M1009 tows 3,000 lbs, and averages 22 mpg on the highway (without trailer). The actual mileage is unknown, and that’s how it was titled (odometer reading ‘inaccurate’ as it has only 5 digits and may or may not have rolled over anew during its military service). Originally obtained at auction from the Marine Corps Depot in Columbus, Georgia. I’ve put 15,000 miles on it in 9 years.
