Dodge D-50, currently @ $325 with one day left.

Whew... I'm glad that is an automatic and really far away.  I drove a 5 spd version back when these were new during my parts-runner days.  I still have an itch to try using one as the donor for a LoCost build.

Nothing like a "Government Surplus" 2019 Corvette Grand Sport!


Looks to be an IRS seized vehicle, but I wasn't expecting that on there.

In reply to Tony Sestito :

Already bid over $57K... not much different than similar cars found after a quick search on Autotrader.

EM-50?

How about 47 pairs of assault snowshoes?

What's not to LUV?

I’d love a luv. But I’m not traveling that far for a rusty one!

Rusty Luv. That's a great name for a wrestler or an aging porn star!

What exactly makes a snowshoe assault certified?

Cheap track/tow vehicle

These have the 6.5L diesel.

and another one.

In reply to hobiercr (FS) :

I'm both glad & sad those are short wheelbase vans. If they were LWB with a ~16' box I'd probably bid way too much on either of them. 

In reply to hobiercr (FS) :

man, a set of ARP head studs and turbo makes those really reliable.

Looks like fun

Very clean

I've never gotten over my CRX lust

In reply to hobiercr (FS) :

That govplanet site seems to list a lot of vehicles that seemingly have nothing to do with gov't entities.

Maybe abandoned on base? I recall seeing a bunch of cars parked on base at Port Hueneme that looked like they hadn't moved in AGES.  

Looking again, it looks like the oddball ads are for ironplanet, the parent company which is another auction site.

Oh my!

A friend uses one to tow his drift mustang.

Buy it. And then pray you never need body parts or a windshield.

Well, getting it here from Italy might be the first challenge...

'83 Rabbit

These are what we use at work.  I would NEVER buy one.  Might only have 5k miles but it's been idleing every night for the last 10 years so the battery won't die with the flashers on.

For real fun follow the corporate structure https://www.rbauction.com/ Over the years I’ve driven past the Chilliwack yard and that could be impressive.
