This was the workhorse of the Soviet Union for much of the Cold War and with thousands of these vehicles built, there is no shortage of them to find today.  The only issue is getting them from Russia to wherever you reside.  Production of the Skot started in 1964 and continued until the 1970’s with a total of 4500 vehicles being produced in its lifetime.  They were built to transport the Spetznaz shock troops across the border into Europe in the event of another world war.  These days though they are mostly sitting in junkyards slowly rusting away.

The Skot could carry two drivers plus 18 troops into battle and was both air-transportable and amphibious with two propellers powering it through the water.  An original OT-64 Skot can still be purchased for between $20,000 and $25,000 plus shipping.
