Went to look at a few Iltis (Ilti?) today. I have a *real* bad crush on them.
This one is calling to me, and I can pick it up for under 2k. It needs some brake lines, bodywork, and the shifter is broken (easy fix, but he doesn't know it). Maybe $500 of work, tops.
They are a bit small, not unlike my old Samurai but infinitely better vehicles with independant suspension and locking rear diff (front can be modified to lock too). A bolt-in diesel swap for a vw 1.6 or 1.9 diesel. Very tempting, although I'm pretty sure I'd have to build a cab for it and make it a little pickup bed.
