Top bid: only $15 at Copart.

Seriously, why aren't we all spending more time on that site?

Dad drove something similar for 15 years. I'm good. In fact, my first oil change was at the age of 7, I was hoisted into the engine bay of a Ford F800 with a Detroit 8.2L and handed paper/tin oil cans to put back into the engine. Ahhh... the memories.

I think they have more than one listed. Ooo, $2017 Challenge subclass?

I think that'd be one hell of an engine/trans donor for SanFord.

One of those plus a pressure washer and you can make a living digging post holes in areas with lots of stuff buried underground. The company putting in the posts for the new security fence at work is charging over $100k just for the digging.

I worked with a different kind of vac truck. Those things are a pain in the ass to be around.

BUT...BUT....Think how CLEAN the track will Be after a couple Laps. And for that money you could rent it out for Parking lot Events, and a bunch easier than a Leaf Blower...

Because they sell vacuum trucks for $15. Do you have any idea how much trouble I'd be in if I bought a vacuum truck?

I dunno. Seems to me like the garage and driveway would always be really clean

In reply to David S. Wallens:

Closest auction to me that allowed me to bid myself was too far away. Something about the particular state asking me "if I liked my knee-caps". Not that some charity auctions are cheap when it comes to fees either. Craigslist for the foreseeable future.

Can't see where this would suck money out of your budget any faster than the PanzerVagen

I know for a fact that an Esprit Turbo sold for $226 on that site. And, It Ran When Parked.

I think North Carolina and New Jersey are the only locations where you can bid without some kind of license.

Still a screaming deal.

I used to work for a company that had a couple of those. They are really expensive.
