Here are some shots of the Salvadorian Centauro "Gun Jeep". The (4)
Centauros started their "lives" at the junkyard of Ilopango Air Base by then
Special Forces Commander Col. Perdomo. He simply rebuilt the four M151A2
Mutt vehicles, and modified them as gun carriers. Three were converted as
gun jeeps for the use of the paratroopers and Spec Ops troops and one became
a command and control vehicle. The gun jeeps, were armed and equipped
differently: One with a M134 Gatling gun (taken from a crashed MD500), one
more was modified with a 60mm mortar, and one more with a M2HB, plus a M249
SAW machine gun.
