Gama Goat M561 6×6 Amphibious Vehicle CONDEC 1971
Sold with SF97 to apply for a title
Runs and drives. Brakes are weak and I’m sure there are other issues, but it starts and has been driven around the block a few times.
Last in active operation 2 years ago, but has been moved around the lot since. Was used as a wildfire response unit by the state. Unit will start and drive onto a trailer, but will likely require maintenance such as brakes are weak, two flat tires and other repairs. Unit is sold as-is, where-is. This unit includes a front winch, spare tires, and a Wajax Pacific fire pump unit.
Assistance with loading available at the site, with no liability for damages. Trailer at pickup must have drive-on capability and a winch for loading should be on-hand. Vehicle must be picked up promptly.
We can assist with freight arrangements, if needed. Please inquire, if required.
General information about these vehicles:
The Gama Goat was a six-wheel drive semi-amphibious off-road vehicle originally developed for use by the US military in the Vietnam War. The Goat uses an articulated chassis, so that from distance it appears to be a four-wheel drive vehicle pulling a two-wheel trailer, but it is a single six-wheel vehicle with a four-wheel steering arrangement with the front and rear wheels turning in opposite directions. It was famous for its ability to travel over exceptionally rough and muddy terrain.
The vehicle’s nickname came from two sources: “Gama” from the name of the inventor of its powered articulated joint, Roger Gamaunt, and “Goat” for its mountain goat-like off-road ability. Its military designation was M561, 6×6 tactical 1¼-ton truck.
