Sergeant, I moved here from CA with my 1009, towed my DD behind it the whole way...
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Sure will. The lowballers are already offering scrap guess the point was missed.CARNAC before you start scraping stuff give me a call. I may have some to add to the pile.
Um..... that just *might* be excessive.Sure will. The lowballers are already offering scrap guess the point was missed.
Maybe I will rent a 50 cal and have some expensive fun a d still see if the offers are still there.
Guess I need to do some work on mine so there can be two. Mine is just stock with no work really done to since it was discharged from the military. Previous owner did rhino guard the inside and then painted the outside baby poop tan. All I have done is add a better seat cover (smittybilt jeep covers), add a drink holder and rebuilt the Injection pump. Just finding the time.It's very seldom a positive cash investment to restore a piece of history. You end up paying more out than you will ever get back. You can always donate a MV to a museum for a tax write off for more than you can ever sell one for. I have the only M1009 for events in West TN. Our local museum does not have a vehicle newer than the Vietnam era. On a positive note, I have Vets come up to me all the time wanting to check out my CUCV and talk about their experiences. To many, it's a healing experience to open up to a fellow Vet, driving around in an old MV. One recent Vet said he retired in 2012 and on his last deployment to the Middle East he said they still had a few CUCVs still moving people and equipment around the secure airfield. Many museums do not have much of anything between Vietnam and current. You have an important piece of history.
