1 of 30 Prototypes: 1971 Chevrolet XM705

By the 1970s, the U.S. Army was looking to replace its aging fleet of Jeeps and Dodge trucks, many of which went dated back to 1950. Chevrolet stepped up with a proposed 1 ¼-ton replacement and built between 30-36 prototypes in hopes of getting a contract. These were known as the XM705, but a contract never came through to put them into production. This example from 1971 has only been driven 25,000 miles but there is no mention of whether it’s in running condition. Located in Flemington, New Jersey, it’s available here on Facebook Marketplace where the seller is hoping to get $15,000 OBO. Thanks for the tip, AMXBrian!
