The grocer only paid somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-20K for his (and it was in damn good shape), they only sell up to ~1973 from surplus here apparently due to emissions but that may change with the vehicle getting a VW turbodiesel version.
my dad's 1975 KW with a Cummins KT450 does..legally over the speedlimit..
Actuality..130MPH..and don't ask how he knows either..;)
I wouldn't mind having one..give it a sandbox on the back and nice Western plow on the front..some Goodyear tires..and in the eventuality..snow chains..for those REALLY bad days ;)
(during the Alaskan summers thou..you'd have to have A/C)
