Where exactly do you guys find the hulls for these things...

You really don't see these things (the V-100) come up in auctions at all. Are most of these things surplussed range targets?

What things?

The V-100...

Just about all legal transfers usually take place between parties of privately owned V100s and folks with the money to buy them. There are a few places that has them listed from time to time, so they are available.

Now and then when items come up for sale from local agencies, there is a good chance that they were obtained on the 1033 program (which basically means the agency selling them does not own them) I've heard a few folks end up with equipment via auction that Uncle Sam shows up later to repossess

Additionally, these are 1960's era vehicles. They have been out of service since the 70's, so don't expect any to show up on GL.

A lot of foreign countries bought them. Here are some retired hulls in Sudan.

I can't remember who sent me these. (possibly M813RC or Hellonwheels?). Maybe they were posted here.. Maybe thee guy in the picture can chime in...

3 Alvis Saladins can be seen in background.

Last year(?) I Google'd the resort shown on sign in background, found an address then took a look on Google Maps. I thought I found the resort but resolution is not good enough to resolve vehicles. These were really in the middle of nowhere. BTW the daily rates seemed very high for fancy huts in Africa.

Guilty as charged!!

All are early models with two forward vision blocks, and several are the very early square-wheel-well ones with one-piece rear doors.

The Marines on my base used them up untill 2003.

A PFC was killed during a roll over and that promped them to shift to some funky looking Brinks style armored with a open turret car for patrols.

I believe you will find those were V-150s used by the Marines.

oops you are right.
