GL M151s pulled

Sorry, No Lot Found, or Lot pulled by Sales Admin team.

The Ford M151A2s at Camp Lejeune NC. were pulled from the sale today. Interesting....

I was betting that would happen. I bet they end up smushed and on a boat to china.

And your suprised?

I won the bet! Now pay up Maccus!

I knew they would not make it. Sucks though, would have been interesting to see how high the bids went to.

Nobody is crazy enough to take that bet, are they?

I was watching that too, I was amazed to see those listed.......

Absolutely no surprise at all.

I'm suprised that it took till this morning to get pulled.

It was fun bidding though!

from GL via email this am

Please note that Lot 6650 and Lot 6651 from Event 5188 were pulled from this Government Liquidation Sales Event by the United States Government. The lots will not be made available again in a future sale.

I was suprised it took that long. Would have been fun to have a TOW jeep though.

M151s aren't exactly rare, they are everywhere. It's a shame they didn't get released, but I kinda figured they wouldn't.

For those who have to have a M151A2 TOW FAV jeep, buy a normal one, and call TNJ Murray for the rest, last I checked they had the FAV kits, and they have plenty of TOW stuff, including the hood mounted brackets and the rear pedestal.

Surprising, kind of like when they pulled the two pallets of new 5 gallon scepter cans Monday morning that were for sale in Alabama. I am still betting that those show up in Surplus on Demand!

saw them also, was wishin they went to a good home.

I am a museum and in the fed donation program and all that BS...
WE cant even draw a 151...
HOWEVER...
WE did tow one home from a Marine Base with a tow strap because it was off the books...its here today because we acted and the Marine that made the hook up did so because he knew what would happen to it if it stayed on the base....
(shot up or smooshed)...

Takes balls to do that...and save a piece of history.

OOORAh.

I won the bet here too! Ha ha .

Sir...I know you mean well and have the best of intentions...but I caution against posting things like this.
I'm just afraid that some bean counter will not see things the same way we do and get you and that Marine in a world of poop.

Just because a vehicle (or anything else) is not "on anyones books" doesn't make it free game.
There is a way (or was...don't know about now) to receive some things as "Range Scrap and Residue" at no cost to the government...with a paper trail.

We all hate to see an MV go to its death or waste away in a field or shot up on a range but that is better than getting ourselves in deep Kimche

If they would have been released the best thing to do would have been to strip them to the tubs then document the destruction of the rusty tub (cause you know sooner or later they were going to come for them). Then look for a legally released tub and use the parts to rebuild it.

I figured they would let you win them - then have them cut in half on pickup.

They never changed the demi issue on these, Ive welded a few back together. Who ever would have won, would have bought 4 expensive pieces of a mutt. Criss cross or straight down the center and across. also a arms...

I'll bet they still relist them. You won't know it though because they will be in those big piles of scrap you see on the GL lot. Win a few of the scrap contracts from that area and you may get lucky. Don't know what you'd do with a crushed and or shredded M151 though.
