Sometimes when I purchase a vehicle I find it exciting to know what it has been used for or even by whom or where. I think that this will be a mystery on this one.
Unfortunately, like a lot of old mvs that have been sitting so long and civilianized, it gets to a point where it is hardly worth the effort or time to resurrect it.
I think this particular unit may be useful only as a parts machine; it was difficult to ascertain what the pros and cons were as the frame has been butchered, engine removed, 24 v changed to 12v etc. It does have several decent parts but the guys price does not match what I think its worth. What is scrap at today?
