I cant say the prices are out of line at all. They are unique jeeps. If the americans had used them, these Cdn jeeps would have all been sold out of Canada long ago at these prices.
sadly many people have bought the few remaining examples for use as bushwackers, or are otherwise not treating them as heritage vehicles. Lots of examples of this on youtube
I have no firm number but Im guessing about 500-700 (??)were released across Canada and of that number maybe half will soon be wrecked.. Of course people can do what they want with them, but it does seem a shame when there are so few of them, they do represent Cdn military and Cdn automotive history, and if one wants to bash around the bush, there are many more common and cheap alternatives..
