ArtistsRifles Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Looking on the jpdeacts website I see they have a DUKW up for grabs in need of TOTAL restoration & priced at £7000 See http://www.jpdeacts.com/html/prod05.html http://www.jpdeacts.com/assets/images/db_images/db_2004_0210wc0011.jpg[/img] Whats the opinion of the experts out there - is this a reasonable deal or????

Bodge Deep Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 By no means an expert, but it seems a lot of truck for the dosh considering a conked out Jeep in the same condition would cost as much :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenemachine09 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 i have a dukw and Im in the restoration process. they are enterchangable w/ the cckw completly, the ccw from the motor back, so i would buy it if you have the money. the worst ducks are worth $5000 and that one dosent look that bad, but dont take my word for it research it look on ebay and other places. if you have any questions then ask and if i dont know them im sure i can find out from people who do!

TooTallMike Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I would seriously talk to Rex before contemplating even looking at a DUKW, let alone buying one. Having talked to him about this recently, he says you'll end up spending the £20k - £30 one way or another :-(. You can either buy a restored one or spend the money doing a restoration but the cost is similar unless of course you settle with doing a cr@p job in which case it's final value will be low. Sadly they go for the money they cost to restore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good advice - many thanks sir!! :-) :-) I must be REALLY getting old - I'd completely forgotten Rex. :oops: :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
