I have access to the same records I believe some others on this site have or had access to. I'm a Veh Tech by trade and it is a database that contains info on CFR'd equipment. Surprisingly I looked up my 1952 M-37's serial number and it wasn't available, but others were still listed after all these years. Hit and miss I guess, but it was enough to make me root for more of what was available in regards to other historical records. It's something that gives the new owner a little extra information in regards to their ex-military vehicle. Could also be useful in vehicles that are soon to be auctioned off. So when my new to me LAV3 comes up, I'll check on it's maintenance records to see which of the lot are better than others .
So on Willys M38A1CDN3, Serial No. 100002, this is what I could find:
CFR was 08876
Acquired date was 01 Jan 1970 (they all are the same date for that contract it seems)
Original unit it was issued to was at CFB Toronto, but it is now listed as dormant(UIC 0124)
The only Work Orders listed are from 28 Mar 1977 to 14 Apr 1983
Up until 30 Sept 1978 it seems the work was done by Base Maint CFB Toronto, of which the vehicle was an asset.
Then until 14 Apr 1983 the work was done by maybe the same section but the Jeep was now an asset of The Queens York Rangers, 1st American Regiment RCAC.
Listed are a total of 42 Corrective Vists, or it was in the shop for various faults/preventative maint. 42 times (officially)
As of 14 April 1983 the odometer had 64736 miles on it.
VMO No. DP350151 06 May 1987 to CFB Toronto for disposal.
Last holding notice of 22 August 1988, but the disposal date is listed as 22 Oct 1987 and that the sale price was $829.00. Perhaps there was a paperwork error in the dates?
