Heads Up: CMPs up for auction in Prince Albert Saskatchewan

[rob love]

Long time collector Mickey Zwacks collection is going for auction on the 19th of October due to health issues. I have known Mickey for over 30 years, and he has been collecting at least 40 years. The auction listing is here: https://bid.schmalzauctions.com/Satu...pment_as102241

The CMPs start around lot 617. There are some lots mixed with commercial stuff, and some of what I saw at his place does not seem to have made it into the auction, and may have gone for scrap. Very little of the stuff is properly identified. The trucks are typical of Saskatchewan vehicles in that they are fairly rust free.

There are also M-series parts, a smattering of Iltis, and various militaria items. Prince Albert is a little over an hours drive North of Saskatoon, so off the beaten path. I suspect the prices may reflect that.

Hi Rob,

I wish Mr Zwacks a succesful auction and the best of health. The location is off the beaten path for sure! It would make one hell of a road trip, though. Buy the lot, sort it all out there, dismantle and pack it all tightly in a container(s), and scrap the remains. If they were jeeps, one might just about cover the cost. Seeing the market for CMPs, however, I fear many of these lots will end up being scrapped. Here's hoping someone "local" will pick up the best ones!

Here are some direct links to the CMP lots that I could find. Do note the:

Rob,

Thanks for posting the heads up! Interesting stuff, especially the 8cwt body; it seems quite solid and still has some of the Wireless fittings that have long gone on mine.

If anyone on the forum is planning to view the lots in person......and willing to take some pictures.... I would be very interested in some pictures and maybe a measurement or two of the 8cwt body.

It's a Chev. It would be interesting to see if it still has the data plate, as it seems it might be around the same build period as my C8....cab vents, cab 11, early small box with lights on the right rear only.
It also has the rare speaking-tube panel still fitted to the rear of the cab, and that rare trim piece, for the edge of the roof, casually draped over the nose!
