1959 LARC LX. Single owner, low miles, full maintenance record, only driven into battle by an old lady.
NO LOWBALLERS OR COMMUNIST DICTATORS, I KNOW WHAT I HAVE.
no freaking joy rides !!!
LMAO! Forgot to mention with only 1,500 corps on its cargo.
No lowballers, I know what I got
Here in Europe when buying German used car like Mercedes or Porsche, re-sellers used to say to you: "German folk cried when he was selling this one"
I could've sworn you already reviewed the Dodge Challenger.
This is the unknown sub compact model
Lul
😂😂😂😂😂
Nah this is way too small
Nah this is too slow
*Not regular.*
*Not a car.*
*Not a review.*
And yet I'm still hard because *BOAT*
Irregular Boat Reviews?
Me too, but HUGE BOAT with WHEELS! 😁
O. Dean It’s still a car
Vulpes Inculta it’s a boat with wheels. this is definitely not a car. mabye a VERY large truck
O. Dean *LANDBARGE*
How American
Drives it to Cars and Coffee.
Parks on top of eight Mustangs.
Still does less damage than if they had been able to drive off on their own.
and 8 corvettes
Luke Sylvester no mustangs are much more dangerous to the population. Theres a reason there are countless mustang crash vids.
LMAO!
You know it's bad when you hear auto reviews use Mustang as a verb i.e. "This would have mustanged into the guardrail without the traction control."
Hahaha mustang crash crowd funny hahaha
"We bought it from eBay believe it or not" Who the fuck just has a LARC laying around to sell on eBay
From Florida, so Florida Man of course.
Probably some company that transports heavy equipment to weird places along rivers and in swamps. Having wheels on you barge can be useful in treacherous waters.
never underestimate the power of ebay sellers
Synaps koenigkill last time I found a Russian amphibian tank in eBay.
It was a souvenir from 'nam
LARC, The official car of "I can put it in the back of my pickup truck!"
More like “I can put my pickup truck in the back of IT.”
Imagine a visit to home depot
Me: "I need some pavers and cinder blocks"
Hd guy: "How many sir?"
Me: "All of them" *pulls a LARC up the front door.*
When you need to roll coal in the sea
@Roderick storey their called privates and you need a sergant to control them
"Found this vehicle on ebay"
Low mileage, recently inspected, just needs some TLC, NO LOWBALLS! I KNOW WHAT I HAVE!!
you win
(Cats and Dogs Safe)
What is TLC?
M Alva Usually it’s tender loving care, but in this case it means tank loading capacity.
1 - buy LARC-LX
2 - refurb and build really nice living space into cargo deck with party floor above
3 - ......
4 - profit, with ACTUAL land yacht!
Outstanding move
Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!
As a resident of a landlocked state with very little water, a land yacht is exactly what I need if I win the lotto.
"Can we get a shot of the engine compartment?"
-Opens the transmission compartment
KeepOnJeepinOn lol I was looking for this specific comment.
Well you cant see all engines compartments in the same time. I dont think you could look at 2 at a time.
@Yul Strokheet Al-Wauch You know it is a multi-engine amphibian? Even similar crafts of other armies do use a multi-engine layout.

Yes please!
"Hot Damn." Solid reaction.
"Hot DICK"
HOT DICKS
“We found it on Ebay”
Ran when parked, bring your own tugboat.
"he's not zippy" you don't say? I thought a driveable building could do At least 80 fully loaded
loaded with tanks, 170 on the dash
Hi there
@@pbjracing14yearsago49 oooh!! Hello fellow bread based life form!
To sum up all the comments:
Not a car...
Not regular.
BROWN !
Put an LS in it !
Is this Matt Farrah million mile Lexus ?
"official car of"
Is not Matt Farrah's Lexus anymore is Freddy Hernandez's million mile Lexus
@@regularpilot2781 it's too late to reBRAND it
But that's just the comment section of any RCR video
Is this Matt Farrah’s new boat?
I was at the museum last weekend and there was an orange i3 in the parking garage... DID I MEET MR REGULAR AND NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE HIM
Well they don't call him Mr. Regular for nothin'.
Nah, the orange i3 belongs to the museum. Just gets loaned out to journalists when they come into town
I find it werid how no one has taken notice to your name
I Am Sekou Wrong one
MPG is still better than a Hummer H2
I thought the H2 was rated in GPM
MPG? yes it does something
It is less offensive for others, too.
Less embarrassing too
HehHehHeh clever joke.
For the European viewers, there is a fully intact LARC\BARC at the war museum in Overloon, the Netherlands.
I saw it when i was there for militracks it's giant in person
US Army LARC: for the chevy kodiak and f650 owners who just want a little more attention on the road.
You had me at, "each wheel has its own Detroit Diesel."
When you review a landing craft 1 day before D-Day
Walter Yellow he should have uploaded it tomorrow
Car carrier semi: I can haul like 10 cars at once.
Larc: That's cute...
One of these is sitting in Green Cove Springs in Jax, Fl, almost a block away from a Space Shuttle Liquid Fuel tank.
We always joke that the liquid fuel tank is my buddies' mom dildo - gets some laughs at the marina.
So I guess this was like a precursor to the LCAC?
Damn, it's like the Elephant from Halo.
Imagine the amount of "yo mama" jokes this thing could produce.
I saw one of these at an Army museum as a kid and it was crazy to see something so big with wheels and propellers.
To think this monster used to cross broad bodies of water just to yeet a tank or trucks or somesuch onto shore.
Magnificent.
This was a ship-to-shore vehicle, so it wasn't out there making transpacific crossings on its own. It would be aboard a massive ship and make multiple trips to shore and back to unload cargo such as tanks.
@@914050 I see, thanks for the correction!
Imagine the fuel used during one accleration
Pizza Cat injecting acceleration, not even once.
The tank usually takes 12-20 for a cold startup. About 5 seconds. I would say 3l/1km for an acceleration of this one... for each engine of course.
Well given that the top speed is between 2-4, it probably doesn't take much time to get up to speed
If Mr. Regular was nervous driving that Australian APC, imagine the panic attack from test driving for this thing. I mean, I'd have one.
It was from New Zealand not Australia
same thing
found the new zealander
When did he drive an APC?
@@maksuree Universal Carrier aka Bren Carrier, so not really an APC.
I’m sure there’s a few of those rusting away on wasteland at the other side of the motorway to the naval base in portsmouth, uk. Used to pass them on the way back from leave and always wondered what they were!
I was hoping you were going to drive onto it
Official car of, "Sure, I can help you move."
YOUR WHOLE DAMN HOUSE WITH THE FOUNDATION!
I say this thing in Nashville last summer. The whole museum is absolutely fantastic
Bringing back memories.. the Navy still uses these to my knowledge. At least they did when I was in.
What! No music? No Flower Power tunes?
No words satirizing the huge mistake and blunder Vietnam was?
Mr. Regular whatup!
The biggest car to have ever graced this channel
I CAN FIT IT IN THE BACK O' MAH PICKUP TRUCK WREHEHEHRHEHEHHEHRHRHEHRHE
Sure, uncle Pultab
Next video: Parallel parking a 1959 US Army LARC.
Cars Simplified i mean at that point you could park where ever and on what ever you wanted and no one would question it
1959 US Army LARC - the official Chuck Norris' shopping cart.
That is truly bonkers to know that someone conceived and built this behemoth back in the 50s.
Equip this sucker with steampunk regalia or hippie psychadelia and you've got yourself the perfect vehicle for a great time at burning man.
Plus you'll get pulled over by the police a lot.
If someone would build a top half for it to make it look like a VW bus, they could offend the entire world. :-D
@@Freedomquest08 If they converted the interior of the VW bus to an orgy dome all would be forgiven. The ultimate manifestation of "make love not war" ^_^
@@kayEnt3rtainm3nt
LOL
Top speed: 4mph. Last seen: driving in the left lane on the DC beltway.
And in the right shoulder.
Every dudebro just came....all at once!
Cleveland Maker “D-Day bro!”
nashville TN. wearing the car museum shirt now. :D
Place has so many unique wonders!
@@GreedyCraig I'm just sad that Nissan won't let anyone into their secret vault in the basement.
@@TheInflicted The motorcycle section had a bike with a prop on the front of it. Probably for mowing down victims
TheInflicted They let me in it last year.
the only nice thing in nasty nash! 🙃
I still can't get over the fact how ridiculously photogenic MR. Regular is. Stop looking so good, you're stealing away my attention from the LARC
"Next week the Tank Museum review a 1966 Mustang Convertible!"
Still not regular!
"Each wheel has its own Detroit Diesel, so it can do about 4 mph on flat land" lol
Gotta have crazy low gearing to move a beast that big.
Regular launch craft reviews
There was a company here in coastal Maine that owned a couple auction LARCs and used them as an island transport service, called it SEATRUK. For one island site i was on, at the mainland they dumped a massive amount of gravel on board and then parked an excavator on top of the gravel, then travel across the water looking dangerously close to having waves come aboard, then the four engines would absolutely roar as the 8'+ tires touched bottom at the island and proceeded to crawl its way out of the water, the way it sat so low in the water was misleading as it had so much more below the waterline, man what an awesome sight and sound watching it haul itself and a massive payload out of the ocean and onto shore.
Our crew couldn't help but watch every trip whenever those engines cranked up, what an awesome machine.
Funny thing is that museum is known for its micro-car collection, has one of the largest in the world lol. I'm hoping Mr Regular got to drive and review a few of them.
They should really park all their micro cars on it for a photo op
@@Joesolo13 They wouldn't fit, not even close.
I went to see this during my bachelor party in Nashville, it’s crazy to stand next to it and realize it’s a 4 wheeled vehicle
The least regular car you've reviewed.
Welcome to Nashville! I knew within the first three seconds you were at the lane. I've been a fan of regular car reviews for about 3 years. Hope yall have a good visit!
Saw the LARC when I was at the museum about 10 years ago, it's a sight to behold that's for sure.
"Regular Cars" Thats The Reason Why I Subscribed To This Channel
Although technically a LARC is an amphibious boat and not a car or truck, I am overjoyed that you got to do this. Also I can't believe the guide didn't say "which one?" when you asked to see the engine compartment. LOLZ
I sometimes can't believe that I actually served on several of these wonderful amphibious vessels during my active-duty time between 1996 and 2000 at Fort Story, VA before they were decommissioned. When I tell my service experience to others, they find it hard to believe...
LX 60
LX 38
LX 06
👍🏽💯
YES LARC LX!!!! I just recently learned about these and they're so cool!
The Lane motor museum is a great place. They've got some very cool cars.
I bet if you LS swap it, it'll be faster
They use to have 3 amphibious military vehicles exactly like this is Tampa FL and gave tours on them
Wasn’t expecting to stay up this late, good morning from California!!
Tristin Cozine good night from Indiana!
Ditto.
"Hot damn...!"
More evidence that Roman lives in a perpetual ground hog day scenario 1965.
We have one of these parked about 15 minutes from my house. Come to think of it I haven't been by there in a while. I wonder if this is it since it came from Florida.
Edit: Nope this is LX 8. The one here is LX 46.
I would quite like an RCR of a BMW I3 come to think of it
I have a picture in front of this thing when I visited Lane in 2016. Kickass.
The Lane is such a magical place.
Dudes with half ton chevys be like "lets hook up"
Next Mr Regular goes to Camp Pendleton and reviews that US Navy's LCAC.
Laughing because the box shown at 2:24 from 1959 has the same exact text and switches used in modern Army vehicles for radio and internal comms controls. The Army truly never changes.
You can put an entire company of cavalry horses in it.
I saw this LARC last year near Christmas at the Lane Motor Museum
One of these sat near me in a field on the Tampa side of the Gandy bridge. It was there for years, always wondered what it was like inside. It's probably the same one.
I wonder if this qualifies for IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus, not because of the safety equipment but because it's literally a metal barge and anything you crash into/crashes into you is basically going to become automotive 80/20 ground Chuck
Lane motor museum, such a dope place. Never expected such a large European car collection in Nashville
driving that would be literally like driving a house around...
Great luggage capacity but not much in the way of comfort.
Dougscore?
There were two LARCs sat in a scrapyard on the way into Portsmouth (Hampshire UK) for several decades. They got cut up for scrap only a couple of years ago. Not sure how US military hardware got there.
Driving it on US roads will probably make you feel like a Hummer driver in the UK.
The Skint Sailor When we were looking for LARC tires, I contacted the guy in Portsmouth who owned those two LARCs. It would’ve cost WAY too much to ship them across the pond.
I love Lane Motor Museum, best little place in Nashville
These were used by USN beach masters very effective for boat recovery
What do you drive?
A Buick skyLARC!
Lightly padded seat to save weight!
Horrible little note, when the BARCs were brand new they were rated at 20mph on land and about 7.5mph in the water. Probably somewhere just over 1000hp and 2000ft/lbs of torque out of the four engines and something in the range of 38-50 gallons of fuel an hour. Apparently the vast majority of BARCs were sunk off the coast of Vietnam rather than deal with the expense of shipping them back home.
This is the US ARMY LARC or the "Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo" this thing has a identity crisis, it wanted to be a barge but it also wanted to be a land vehicle. It weights about ehhh 100 tons or 220462 lbs it was classified as a BARC. This thing is huge I mean really huge I mean look at this beside the BMW i3 the i3 looks like nothing. So the LARC was used at the Vietnam War and was bought off eBay (that's it I can't think anymore leave your continued review in the reply section)
Hey I've seen this exact LARC, that museum in Nashville is fantastic
*getting a once in a lifetime tour of a larc*
*Both people are staring through a camera*
Dad: Ford Festiva? I could put that in the back of my pickup truck!
LARC Guy: I could put your pickup truck and three more in my LARC.
Probably the coolest museum I've ever been to
I had my picture taken by the wheel a few years ago. It is bigger in person than on video. If you look at like 0:16 you will see something hanging on the left, that is what is left from a car that it crushed...
It’s the Lane Motor Museum! I love that place!
There were two of these at the north end of Portsea Island, 'till about year back.
FINALLY your at Lane, I've suggested and hoped for this for years.
I haven't even watched this video and I already love it.
Jesus, I thought the DUKWs were big, that thing is massive! I could not imagine trying to pilot that around from the tiny windows.
Someone needs to drive a DUKW onto a LARC onto a LCAC into a LHD.
Roll up to a meet in that bad boy and unleash a hundred Miata's, then have every Miata challenge everyone else to a Yu-Gi-Oh duel
It has four. FOUR 6v71 Detroits. One per wheel. I need to hear the sound of four 6V71s screaming down the road at a blistering 16 mph.
I was gonna make an "I'm surprised you found this thing on eBay" comment but then I heard it was from Florida so that explained everything.
I'd love to see this baby rolling down the street, it would be one hell of a daily driver.
“RegularCars“
This was in Tampa I believe, I got to climb on it at a liquidation auction when I was a kid
Man I love that museum
OD Green, the brown of greens.
This is the official car of Chet Wayne Detwiller....the Dudebro captain of Santa Monica.......he throws keggers on his LARC ....on a Tuesday and has a girl with gauged ratings working at the surf shop that writes poetry and has BIG BOOBS.........and mixes daiquiris with Lacroix
