On that note, Rob, I must agree.
I hope it goes up in value at auction to where he needs it to be. I have noticed that as unique as Cmp trucks are, they are relatively cheap here in Canada even in restored and operating order as compared to other hmvs. I am not sure whether this is the culture of us few collector types here or just the plain and simple fact that the American type hmvs are more sought after and have a higher degree of collectability and sell quick. I suppose US vehicles have an appeal on either side of the border hence a larger target market. Proof that "rare" doesn't neccessarly mean "valuable" as everybody is led to believe. There were over 750,000 Jeeps produced yet they average $15000+ restored yet trying to get $10K for a low production, oddball vehicle is very difficult. Furthermore, Canadians as a whole are very thrifty in spending on our toys and the current economic situation in the USA does not help. While Americans tend to have more liquid capital to spend on things, the fact is that down south hobbies and extras are second to life- mortgages, bank loans, groceries etc. There will always be the wealthy, to whom economic downturns have little to no effect; to the middle class man who likes to spend his extra cash on his hobby, well frankly right now for many there simply is no extra there.

Spot on Rob.....
Hey Rob/Chris ....it's mine. Tons of lookers and taggers. I was wondering whether any Canucks were going to throw their hat into the ring. Finally got 2, the rest are out of town. I figured since "Mr White" in England figures his is worth 70 to 100 thousand pounds at the latest auction, I thought what the heck! If anyone has any questions they can PM me. Enjoy.....Robert

Robert, your restoration is a beautiful piece of work. If I was in the market for a HUP I would certainly consider it. I am an ex-HUP owner afterall and can appreciate the uniqueness of such a vehicle.
If your truck was in the UK I am sure it would go for a tidy sum. Best of luck with your sale, sorry to see you let her go.

she's a looker....
Thanks Chris. Compared to the C60, this is like driving a sports car. One thing is, that when you take it down the road, it's one vehicle that sure stops traffic. It's just a tough lookin' beast! R.
