WC-56 command car on craigslist

not mine, no connection to seller

This was up last year and is back again (not surprising as they want all the money for a Euro return CC)

Seems to me it's somebody who doesn't really know much about it or about MVs in general

As it sits it's probably 20K overpriced for the US market as it will need a complete going through to be "restored"

This is now on eBay as well. Bid as of this positing is $26,055.

I agree, if it were me, I would buy one that looked a lot worse for wear in the $8,000 - $10,000 range as they all cost about the same to restore as long as it ins't rotted out too badly. Just because it runs and drives doesn't make it a better deal in saving money to restore. As long as it is all there, one is good to go for a restoration. At least, that's what I think when looking for a project. I have seen completed restorations projects in the past for what they are asking here. All depends on what one wants in the long run.

Hello,

That is a nice Command car, it appears it is an Ex-Swiss Army Dodge,
based on the gray paint, and German made tires.

Likely maintained "fairly" well .
