HEMITT Tractor Sold in Berne NY Auction

[JeepMan]

(Due to the "No Auctions" posting rule I could'nt post this untill after the auction).
Someone bought a HEMITT at a town surplus auction for $15,700.
Hard to understand the description but it sounded like the engine had been removed and put into another vehicle of some sort but was included in the auction after it was removed from the vehicle??
The auction had 2 main bidders that kept outdoing the other.
Included in the auction was a few M1009's that sold for a few hundred to a couple thousand $$.

I thought I saw doghead from SS bidding on it.

Yeah, the wife wanted it, but it went over our current budget. I guess we will get new windows and siding this year, instead. It was a rare truck, I hope it gets put back together. It needs an engine, but was a running and driving unit before that.

Really, halftrack? Did you get it, or are you pulling our legs?

I sure hope it went to a good home, someone who is on our site....

No I did not get it.

Possibly no one got it because the sale prices have to be reviewed and approved --

My money is on Chris..master of the unknown projects...

 

[CUCVFAN]

It says "Bids Approved"...

I'd say it's sold and history. Maybe to me.....

What I want to know is how did that get here in NY? HEMTT M983's are used for one thing, and one thing only. Towing Patriot Missle Systems.. And all the Patriots in CONUS are in NM, TX, and AL. So that truck traveled along way to get to NY.

 

[doghead]

You don't suppose there were missiles in NY? Near the Canadian border, do you?

What's that French APC, doing in Syracuse?

After 911 did they not put those around the BIG citys???And as for the distance if it was not there all ready, My XM818 was in a NG unit in the NE and I got it from OKC. So go figure. My vote is for chris or BK??

 

[emmado22]

Im not going to feed the tin foil hat conspiracy people, but Patroits were never deployed to NY or anywhere in the NE.

 

[JeepMan]

It's missing the pintle hook, they should "knock some off" the sale price for that.

 

[dma251]

That's great that someone else got one. I hope it's a member here so we can follow the restoration. I'd love to see what someone else does to with one.

Rumor has it that MTV purchased the HEMTT and it will appear on multiple episodes of PIMP MY RIDE. P-Diddy will be the final owner and most likey join Steel Soldiers and buy this site from Chris!!!

maybe the boys in Seneca were moving a few missles around in the ninities
