You really should get the Warthog

Halo fans know the Warthog as the ATV that belongs to the mighty Spartan Master Chief John-117 (aka “Master Chief”). Cooper and a group of Halo enthusiasts made the real-life Warthog automobile in 2009 for a Halo-themed movie called “Operation Chastity,” and now that filming is complete, Cooper is offering the vehicle for sale via Twitter.

Beating back alien invaders is the first thing on the mind of Master Chief when he rides the Warthog into battle. For the rest of us geeks and creative automotive aficionados, owning a lovingly created relic of game history is a safer course. Cooper has admitted that while he is reluctant to sell the modified 1983 Range Rover that he spent much time bringing up to Master Chief quality, he has to do it as the storage costs are more than he wants to clear in his budget.


Send offers on Twitter

Cooper explained that the Warthog is a buggy, so make sure you know how to drive it before you get behind the wheel. He also mentioned that it is not street legal, which means you can only use it on private land. You do not need a license to use it on your own property though. Rather than asking for a specific dollar amount, Cooper has listed the Warthog for sale on Twitter asking for only “reasonable offers.”

Get more information about ‘Operation Chastity’

In the spirit of “Halo,” the self-funded, fan-made film “Operation Chastity” follows the combat adventures of a group of U.N. Room Command Marines against the survivors of a crashed alien Covenant battleship, according to the film's site. A secret mission behind enemy lines explodes into one final bloody conflict from which the Marines may not survive.

The Warthog was giving a lot of futuristic upgrades such as a Warthog body, large tires and a lifted suspension. It was a 1983 Land Rover Defender 110 that was modified for the Warthog LRV that shows up in the film.

I'm not really a Halo fan, sorry.

Cool I suppose.
