Carrier for sale in the US (ebay)

[rob love]

CT163013 was my first carrier. The lower hull came from stead Manitoba, the power train came from Nipigon Ontario, and the upper armour came from 2 or 3 different carriers located in Northern Ontario. The bullet holes were most likely from hunters, although one of them was a fair size caliber. I used to use the bullet hole to mount a spare sprocket onto the side of the carrier. There were certainly no markings anywhere to indicate that any of the carriers involved in this build had been overseas. The side armour had DND numbers on it vice the CT number one would see overseas. I even have a card somewhere around here with the numbers on it. The armour was all bolted on with carriage bolts, I can't tell by the photos whether they have since been replaced with rivets.

I had a lot of fun with that one, and drove many veterans in parades with it. I believe it has had a few owners since. I traded it for a ferret back around 1998. $30K is a bit steep alright, but it was sure a fun vehicle.

I have thrown a bid onto it for old times sake, but I am certainly not prepared to throw half a years wages at it.

I seem to remember seeing some pictures of it posted here a few years ago. I think the owner at that time was Steve Katner (similiar spelling). Don't know if its the current owner or not. Looking over the pictures it looks to have the shield in front of the drivers seat for all the linkages. Be nice to see some more pictures of that.

30k is a bit steep but then who am I to set prices. I guess the world market we all share will show what it will go for. Mind you I can be cheap (Im cnd after all) but I do buy quality.

Jordan,

Your new bank account will be delighted to know how much quality you will soon have.

The C15a tarp sample is at the canvasmith as of yesterday, so get ready. The tarps and covers should be ready soon.

My old carrier is up to $14,400 now, with lots of time to go. While this carrier, in it's present form, is far from as complete as it once was, it should still give a pretty good indication of what a carrier will sell for these days, even if the reserve price of 30K is not met. More and more I am starting to feel better about the ebay carrier I bought 6 years or so ago. You don'e pay too much, you just buy too early.

Someone paid over $100K for a poorly restored jeep with a couple dummy guns on it at one of those big car auctions the other day. For that kind of money the buyer should have got one, and maybe even two or three of the best of the best MVPA show winners. But these days there are people with far more money than time.
