COOT articulating amphibious atv 1960’s rare

Description

For your consideration a rare most likely late 60s COOT amphibious UTV. This little buggy is all time four-wheel-drive four wheel steering articulates in the middle and can float. They were popular back in the day they have a good off-road capabilities because of a smooth bottom no differentials or anything to catch on objects and they are fairly light and have very high grip tires with low pressure.
Primitive by today’s standards it is run originally by a single cylinder Tecumseh engine which in the case of this buggy was re-powered with a cub cadet tractor engine also a single cylinder. Ran well when parked covered up in a barn probably hasn’t been run in about five years will need a thorough cleaning of the tank and carburetor but I don’t for see any problems four-wheel-drive works shifters work the whole thing needs a paint job as you could see I did paint half of it with a spray can experiment with colors... not much to it to paint.
Sold as is please message with questions by responsible for pick up or shipping don’t miss out on this rare off-road buggy thanks
