LSVW for sale - Crown Assets

One of these LSVWs has resurfaced on Kjiji. It appears to have been given a bit of a freshing up and a new price tag of $13,000!

Another for $10,000, this one was sold out of Shilo, I am sure Rob will recognize the wind sock in the back round.

Just a little mark-up on those.

There are two more on CADC at present. Not sure how many more will be coming out of Shilo. Many of Shilo`s are heading to the federal pen for dismantling and recovery of certain parts to return to the DND system. There was a tender the other week for 480 tires to be surplus in the next year as a result of that operation, so approx 100 LSVWs expected to be run through the CORCAN divestment program in Manitoba.

Neil: The second one you show only went for $1500.99. https://www.gcsurplus.ca/mn-eng.cfm?...L&sf=ferm-clos

I put a bid on it for parts only but was too cheap to be successful. I was under the notion that there were going to be thousands of these released. At the same time, I had no desire to own one for driving around.

Just a quick note 2 LSVWs were sold in Kingston in December. Both vehicles are runners and both have been registered for the road. Also Crown Assets is giving letters so that they can be registered.
There will be 20-30 up for sale in January 2016.

They may be runners but they aren't stoppers...lol!

Ours seemed to have recently redone bodies, unlike the rest that are coming up. I'll probably pick up another one for spare parts.

Like Ryan said good runners but no stopping. What I will doing with mine is:
1. change the tires and replace them with 286X75x16 with a less aggressive thread than the military thread, less weight on the truck
2. We will be relining the brake pads with a soft asbestos type lining, the present lining are very hard and will cause excessive noise, become glazed faster. Hopefully the softer brakes will help, we will let you know the results. The brakes will be redlined in Ottawa.
With new brakes and smaller tires I should get better performance. MTF
Overall the trucks Ryan and I got are very nice, I have no bodywork to do and minimal touchup and adding personal touches.
It will go to safety in the springtime as it is too cold to work on it now.
Don't judge a book by it's cover, remember while they were in the forces these vehicles were always severely overloaded, often driven by people who only car was a Kia Rio. The controversy of this vehicle reminds me of any other vehicle that everyone said was the worse made... The ILTIS..
We have owned Iltises since they were surpluses and once we collectors got our hands on them we love them. Ask Carolle my wife, Stuart, John Granger.
Give the LSVW a chance, even if it is under powered it will still get us from point A to B, our hobby is not built for speed and we have vehicles that are slow but good to look at.
If you are interested in a LSVW wait to see the results as to what they sold for, I believe the next lot will have a lower starting price I will ask the following "How much have you paid for an old rusted out shell or a non runner, deadhead????
Yea I like the LSVW, but then again some people say I am weird.
