Recently rec'd a note from one of Sgt hack's people about a movie shoot in a year or so about Sgt Hack's life. Guess they contacted the Pratt Museum at Ft Campbell about using the original Hackmobile in the film. Their response was a no go for the original that is on display at the museum. A suggestion arose about getting another A2 and cloning the original paint, seat covers and custom Airborne top to make a "stunt double" I guess. I haven't talked to Sarge personally about the project, but knowing the Sarge, he does make things happen. If he'd use my A2 I might just donate it to the cause and get it back all red white and blue. Here's a few more pictures of the original Hackmobile other than are normally seen from the museum...

Re: Cloning the Hackmobile
I never get tired of seeing pictures of that A2
Raiman, I would also suggest they give you a part in the movie in return for painting your A2

Re: Cloning the Hackmobile
Nice catch there Rick,
I have these images on my hard drive from Sarge's site and I zoomed in on it too. Looks to be blocked off and poof it's gone. I'll definitely ask the Sarge point blank, WTF's with THAT deal? This jeep used to hang around my high school like a predator when I was like 16 yrs old here in Cuyahoga Falls,Ohio and who'd a thunk I'd a grow'd up to be so involved these obscure little 1/4 ton vehicles. I may have mentioned it before over the years, "I learned to 'drive a clutch' at a Ft. Hood motorpool in a 1971 AMG M151A2". I was lucky to have driven a couple different M151's before the Cav swap to the Gamagoat M561 in mid 1975.
