3k: Only A Jackass Would Pass On This: M-274 Mule

The M274 Mule is an all-purpose 4WD off-road truck/quad/tractor that can carry up to 1/2 ton of equipment and drive just about anywhere.  Most aren't street legal as they are essentially a military flat-bed quad, but we could imagine one titled as a kit-car or some other creative method to get plates on it. Mules were used at workhorses in the military fleet from the 1950s-1980s and later replaced by the John Deere Gator.  Today M247s are sought by collectors for their unique style and general mayhem potential.  Find this bargain M274 Mule for sale in Albuquerque, NM for $2800 via craigslist.  Thanks to tip from Paul M.

    1. Pretty sure the seller used some post-processing magic to get the 'tilt-shift' look in the photos - notice how the grass on the left is in focus but the wall (same distance from lens) isn't.

    2. They are considered very dangerous because they don't have ROP. (roll over protection)
