I was at this fellas yard once.

At the time, none of the 151 stuff was for sale except for the tires. Even then, he was asking a significant amount for them. I left empty handed.

I'm guessing something has come up in the family causing this wave of sales.

I just read on another board that some folks from Fort Drum paid him a visit and told him that the M151s will not be getting sold without being demilled and were subsequently removed from the Auction block.

Guess that answers my question as to how that many MUTTS managed not to get cut up. They didn't.

Not all Mutts get demilled. IIRC, the USMC's spare M151A2's stored at Barstow were traded in on a deal on new equipment and were subsequently sold uncut on the civilian market. The same is true for the Portuguese Army's M151A2's, they can be bought uncut from a yard near Lisbon.

With the new registration of ITAR and the End User Certificates, todays surplus is now registered. The Mutts likely predate the EUCs, but there are plenty of stories on Steel Soldiers forum where inspectors have shown up to purchasers homes, sometimes years after the purchase, and asked to either see the equipment or the EUC that the purchaser had to have filled out by the new buyer.

Here in Canada, our military pattern vehicles are now destroyed rather than sold to the public. Something tells me the US may eventually start doing the same. The return on the sales is often not that much more than scrap, and maintaining the registry and enforcement of it has got to have some cost.

Seems the US Army is effectively hunting down the deficiencies in their surplussing system... I hadn't figured out yet what sort of vehicle the "Military Jeeps, AM General M35A2CAM, General 151 Model M220A" is.
