[Grant Bowker]

https://www.gcsurplus.ca/mn-eng.cfm?...1&sf=ferm-clos
It is being sold out of Suffield with a minimum bid of $1000.00. It is listed as not running, missing some engine parts, with some spare parts.

Back in October I saw this Mute a few times from a far and was unable to get close to it. I did not figure it would ever show up for sale on CADC, if i did I would have tried to get in to see it.

It was CFR 09541 and is listed as being disposed of in May 1987.

Ed, if I gave you a CFR for another M151A2, would you look for the SN? 74-09723, please. In my scratching I never found an SN for that one.

[maple_leaf_eh]

Just put a bid on it. I believe this gives me a way to track other bids. If not and I win, well I might have to go on a roadtrip!

[Ed Storey]

CFR 09723 SN 45109 disposed of out of CFB Montreal in Aug 1988.

Was the UIC 5007 (Sherbrooke Hussars)?

[Ed Storey]

Sorry, no mention of user units.

[maple_leaf_eh]

Had to ask.

Nice straight uncut body...would be a good start for a project

[Wayne Hingley]

I saw this one parked in a compound in Suffield a few months ago. I had to look twice to make sure my eyes were not tricking me.

[rob love]

Selling price is listed at $10,012. Someone wanted it twice as bad as I did.

Of course, the M151A2s were not supposed to be sold to the public by DND. It would seem enough years passed that nobody remembers this direction.

So somebody has, I believe, the only Canadian M151A2 that was actually sold as a vehicle as opposed to salvage.

[Ed Storey]

Let us just hope that whoever bought it appreciates what they have and don't do anything silly like turn into some sort of fantasy vehicle.

[rob love]

I suspect whoever bid 10K for it knows what they are buying, especially considering the engine is in pieces and the rear diff has the yoke and bearing cap off it. Something isn't right about the roll cage either....it appears to have been solidly welded to it's mounts. No doubt there will be a myriad of little pieces gone or worn, but in the end, it is a nice uncut body. I don't even see the usual rust holes through the front crossmembers. If the mileage given of around 7000 is correct, it may have lots of potential.


What worries me is if an American bought it and is bringing it South. All it's Canadian identity will likely be erased.

The M151A2 is a demill Q, The Demilitarization Code (DMC) of 'Q' is assigned to items that are not controlled under the Defense Production Act (DPA), but are listed on the Export Control List (ECL), Group 1, Group 2, Group 5 (article 5504) or Group 6 or found in the US Commerce Control List (CCL) 500 or 600 series. Destruction is a requirement unless the items can be transferred to an authorized person.

I low bid to track the sale. I had to factor in travelling 4 days out and 4 days back dragging a ton and a half of awkward steel. Working in January on the Prairies.

[jim fraser (RIP)]

i also bid.not quite near that bid.rob i had three mi51a2 uncut directly from crown assets.regards jim.

[rob love]

I had thirty, but with the provisio that I could remove any parts I wanted, but the bodies had to be destroyed under DND witness. Did you get to keep yours as M151A2s?

[jim fraser (RIP)]

yes.had 3 others no title.regards jim.

[rob love]

I see the selling price has changed. As I almost suspected, whoever put in the first bid put in one too many zeros and likely meant $1012. So they have gone to the next highest bidder which is $5779.99. Bugger, I was less than $400 shy of that. As I always say: I don't get nuthin.

[maple_leaf_eh]

Thanks for the catch Rob. I just sent a snotty-gram to GCSurplus complaining that they bobbled the final bid, and demand the sale be cancelled and restarted.

[rob love]

So do I take it the 10012 was yours Terry?

No. My typo would have been more like $10020.

[rob love]

Website shows vehicle is now paid for so no hope that they are going to go to the next on the list. So close.

Oh well, I already have a lifetimes worth of vehicles to work on at home, and several lifetimes worth to work on at the museum. I think I should stick to my recent mantra of buying stuff that's already restored.

[jdmcm]

I like that "mantra" Rob, going to adopt it myself...have more projects than life left...seems every time I am out hunting parts or pieces another orphan follows me home...well I think the "orphanage" is full...

[rob love]

Then again even orphans generally go up in value....we can use that basis to continue to shelter them until their destined owner shows up.

You can check sold prices on GC Surplus just by clicking on sold items, you don't have to bid.
