How much did it cost NEW?

[brute4c]

I was forwarded this link by a member...it has all kinds of stuff with original cost and other details about the items...from Mil trucks to small arms and ammo...you can spend days reading all this!!

Not sure if the M715 price is correct...I do have another source that lists the original price at $4400....either way, its very interesting stuff!!

Wonder where the info came from, because the helo info is wrong. Not completely but it is missing some info.

M1 Rifle and 1903 Springfield are wrong for sure. I need to check on the M-14 but believe it is wrong also. All very high.

The deuce prices seem kind of low at only $8,000-$9,000 new. I seem to recall reading they sold for a lot more than that on the original contract.

I've been a collector of military small arms for 30 years, and those prices seem way way high. He'd be a millionaire if he sold it all at those prices. Must have one heck of a collection!!!!

Twilight 2000 is a fantasy role playing game (think Dungeons and Dragons crossed with Red Dawn). I would not expect anyhting on that list to be based in reality.

When I bought my Deuce, it had a sticker on it with the acquisition price shown as $42,800...or something real close to that.

If you go to GovLiquidation.com, and look at some trucks for auction, down in the listing it has the original purchase price, and/or rebuild price (M35A3). I only seen CUCV models, 2 1/2 tons, etc. listed. Don't see any M715 sold thru them now.

For example I clicked on a Chevy M1028 pickup:

Acquisition value listed on those stickers is the total cost that the government has into that vehicle. Contract price + any repair or replacement parts or upgrades = total acquisition value.
