For anyone interested, this one looks pretty nice. Located up in Washington State. It has an open ended cargo box on the back, so not really a people hauler.

Just a couple of notes. I am not affiliated in any way with this unit. I'd also like to remind everyone that EBAY auctions historically have had some fraud issues. I don't see any of the obvious fraud triggers with auction but as with any, be careful on ebay.

There's another one on ebay. First time I've seen this type of Spryte...is this stock or custom?

it looked funny than i realized its been turned around backwards like a weasel so it drives off the front i also liked the snowtrac looking fenders some one's done alot of work to customize that rig i would like a close up to see the craftsmansip on it. wonder if the ring gear was flipped or the engine is st up to run backwards either way neat concept
 
I'm guessing the noise level inside when it's running would be reduced allot now that the engine isn't inside the cab. Someone did quite a bit of work to it. Looks good!
 
you bet also i would deep snow preformance will be improved with the sloped tracks i have found that my snow trac will actualy drive forward through snow it cant back out of i've also driven bv 206's that do the same thing i think its a neat idea
 
Here's a good video of one... I remember one on craigslist a while back ... sold for like $2K and the one in this video went for $400.... kinda kewl looking. Who knows maybe the eBay rig is one of these...

kind of neat rig but the war they were trashing on it they will do mugh more than $400.00 of damage to it and i have yet to get my snow trac stuck and i have been driving around in much deeeper snow than that
