I remember a buddy of mine in high school had one of those.  It wasn't all that old in the 70's but it didn't look nearly that good.  It was very cool though.  It would go anywhere off road or in the snow and turning corners while sitting over the front wheels never got old.  Felt like you were going sideways.

Cool vehicle, I don't think I've ever seen one.
On a side note, that's now twice that the page it's on has crashed Firefox on me.

i've never seen one either, although i do remember seeing some "neat" looking International vehicles back in the day (along with plenty of Eagle wagons).

no page crashes with Chrome.

Lots of Tonka toy trucks were based on this model.
