Heads Up: 1986 Chevrolet Ambulance up for auction

[Barry Churcher]

Wilf Alexander and I are going to slip in to the big smoke and check it out on one of the viewing days this week. My only problem is that on the day of the auction I have to take Janet to the airport for her 2 week holiday in Florida. For 2 weeks, no cook.

...s'alright Barry, you can afford to diet for a couple of weeks...

Wilf and I made the trek up to Innisfil yesterday to check out the truck. There was a raging blizzard so it wasn't a pleasant experience. It was midnight by the time I got home and there was so much snow I couldn't get in my driveway.
Anyway the truck looks better in the photos but it still isn't too bad. It doesn't run of course, drivers door bad, inner fenders rotten, exhaust rotten,
and so on. The ambulance body is pretty good except for the crunched rear step and the truck is pretty complete but rust in the usual places.
Cheers,
Barry

Does anyone know what it sold for???? Gilles

[Barry Churcher]

Gilles, I signed up for the on line bidding which is this morning at 9:00. My internet is only one step ahead of carrier pigeon so I don't know if the bidding will work or not. I will try to let you know what it sells for if possible.
Cheers,
Barry

Sounds like pretty tall money to me based on Barry's observations, but I'm just a newb, so what do I know?

Wilf, between you and Geoff I got a couple of good chuckles on this thread.
