Found a Maki M28

[Maki Man]

Okay, so what is a maki m28? See the pictures and imagine it all fixed up

From what I've researched, they were made in the early 70s in Canada, and were street legal, amphibious vehicles. Rear wheel drive, 16 hp tecumseh single cylinder powered. They had a transmission with reverse, low and high gear. Mine has no motor, transmission, or rear end. I would like to fix it up a little. Enjoy the pics:

Damn that's neat, love one of those to bomb around the road with. Apparently it's only 2wd from what I watched on video.

Good luck with the build can't wait to see more.

Very cool vehicle, Maki Man!
I love this vehicle. I have talked to a guy named 'Kirk', and he owns 2 or 3 of these vehicles, and has a YouTube channel, 'Maki M28'.
I don't know too much about the vehicle (and this may be false information), but what I've found...

-There were approx. 600 made in the early 70's ('72-'74?)
-Manufactured in Quebec (Just outside of Drummondville) by FCM Ltee.
-Assembled & Sold in Saint John, NB.
-It will top out at about 65-70 mph (105-115 kph)

I have his e-mail address (and an article on it), if you'd like it, just send me a private message.
Thanks,
Murph.

Hey murph, thanks for the reply. I have had some emails with Kirk, and he is very helpful. I'm just curious, what article do you have?
