Looking at the surface condition, I'd be concerned about it's amphibious capability.  Would be a mammoth task.

However they aren't making any more and it is still in one piece so a good buy to the committed person.

The Wattle Flat DUKWs (plural) have been known about for a while, as they are visible from the main road that passes through the area. Side on they look good, but right on midday on a sunny day, they lose their appeal as their shadows have a LOT of sunshine showing through. They would be good to restore as a road-going vehicle, but they will need an awful amount of work if they're ever going to float again.

They could win an award for being "ugly".
