LSVW For Sale On GCSurplus

[emmanuel sylvestre]

we are selling some of them in lots of 10 but its a matter of time and space atm.

we do not have the room to park the new vehicles and the process involved to sell these vehicles is taking a long time.

Take a shot a these 20 LSVW coming shortly the bid will be starting off at 5000$ for 10 of them. Some are just missing too much parts to bother selling as a repairable vehicle but with 2 or 3 of them you could make a good one.

Most are missing like master cylinder, radiator, flat tire, batteries, coolant expansion res cap, starter/alternator.

But it's a hit and miss.

What are the conditions of sale likely to be? Scrap with no parts harvesting, and 100% proof of shredding>

Terry I just looked at the conditions of sale on the first of them, you get an ownership with these them.

The process is you pay for the vehicle, but before collection you must go register it provincially, unfit, into your name using the provided DND source paperwork.

Once you do that and prove it to the sales office stated you get a release and can go collect it.

That is how it worked for my snow mobile and I was very happy with it and it is simple and clean, its all done and no goofy licensing issues.

It cleans things up a whole lot.

This is GCSurplus wording atm these are bought as is. There are no condition of shredding on these.

Once you acquire them they are yours, I believe like I said in an earlier post that with a lot of 10 you could possibly make 2-3 serviceable trucks with 10 of them.

All the contacts are on the link

The current listing is inconsistent with the notion a buyer could part out the vehicles for resale.

See my previous post, which is a portion of the full conditions.

Rookies....when the M151A2s were sold, I bought 30 of them from Shilo. I was in Winnipeg at the time. So for each one I would have to drive the 200kms to Shilo, hook an A-frame to a Jeep, and then tow it to Westbourne, MB, where I collected all 30 together. I would head out on a Saturday morning to Westbourne, and with the help of an old deuce HIAB, it would take me 4 hours to completely strip a jeep to the bare body. On a long day I could get 4 done, but usually I stopped at 3-1/2. I was in it for the long haul.


When they were all stripped, I had a massive pile of jeep tubs. A local guy with a flatbed picked up all 30 and took them to Mandak in Selkirk where the crown assets guys came out to watch them get cubed 4 at a time.



So only 10 LSVWs mean that you would only have to make 10 trips with a simple 14 foot long flatbed trailer. At minimum bid you would be paying $570 a truck. There are van bodies on many of them. The electronics, alternators, starters, drivetrain, tires, etc are all saleable. End of the day, you will have 10 frames and cabs to haul to the scrappers. If it's anything like the Jeeps I bought, most will have full tanks of diesel to help defray the costs of moving them.



Trust me, as I have been with the LSVW fleet from it's introduction: the fools that buy these things are going to need parts. One only has to ask superdave about this: with his LSVW many people who meet him think he is just a pair of feet sticking out from under one of these lemons.
Sorry Dave...had to do it.

Dave ? Is it you Dave under that truck ?

“The buyer will have to accept "contaminated scrap" as such: a combination of metal and non-metallic materials including an unspecified quantity of dirt, plastic and cardboard (ex: tires, rubber hoses, etc., that can be attached or not to the scrap metal parts).

The buyer will have to destroy the vehicles and provide a Certificate of Destruction for each unit. A document format will be provided by the Department of National Defence (DND)

Some pictures could have to be provided as proof and the site will have to be accessible to the DND employees so they can ensure the Crown that the vehicles are not resold whole or for parts.”
