Here Is An Interesting Comanche For You.

Nice find, what's it been modified to do? Almost looks like a tank platform, probably pretty heavy too, considering the 2 sets of axles and 8 tires in the back. 

 

It is a jet engine and they use it for drying the track with the jet exhaust pointed towards the ground.  That Comanche has shown up on here before.

Interesting.  I'm betting the rear axles are trailer axles and it's front wheel drive only. 

Probably a good guess judging by how low the jet is mounted.

 

Marauder...Ford had a chance to do something neat and instead did something very underwhelming.

What I woulda done is gotten rid of those heavy differentials, transmission, driveshafts and 4.0, added rear facing thrust from the turbine engine and an awesome throttle quadrant inside the cab. Be hitting mach within a few seconds, now THAT is a land speed record.
