Survive The Coronapocalypse: 1963 Kaiser M35a2 - 2.5 Ton-Deuce and a half

It seems I can't go 5 minutes without receiving an email from some company informing me that some event has been canceled, or that they are keeping their employees safe by keeping them away from me.  All this preparation for the coronapocalypse makes me want to do two things -- first I'm going to get a t-shirt printed that says "I survived the coronavirus and all I got was this lousy inheritance" and second, I need a good survival/bug-out vehicle. My first instinct was to go for something like this custom hunting truck built on an 84 Bronco chassis...but the passengers are way too exposed and it'll stick out in the sea of modern crossovers fleeing the zombie filled cities...and then I found this wicked Freightliner hospitality truck that is basically a class-8 RV on steroids...but that would be a huge target for the starving masses...what you need is something that is incognito.  Maybe a cool old firetruck, because even the most vicious criminals give firemen a break and you could put anything you wanted in that big tank and tell any potential thieves that it is fire retardant -- drinking water, gasoline, hand sanitizer, rum, honey, Oreo cookies, Albanian refugees, a small home office...with a vintage firetruck the world is your red pained oyster, my friend. Find this 1963 Kaiser M35a2 - 2.5 Ton-Deuce and a half  here on eBay bidding for $5500 reserve-not-met with $12k buy-it-now in Huntsville, UT with 6 days to go.

SFFD Fire Chief Car: 1972 Plymouth Fury III


People joke about red cars being magnets for tickets from the police, but this next red classic is simultaneously the least likely car for you to get a ticket but the most likely car to get you behind bars.  Find this 1972 Plymouth Fury III ex-SFFD Fire Chief car offered for $14,900 in SF Bay Area, CA via craigslist. Tip from Kaibeezy.
