Heads Up: CMPs for sale in Canada

[Bob Carriere]

What I have been able to observe and photograph has been ALL Australian contracts made in late Aug to Sept 1944...... they are all C60L with the small axles and 16 rims. a further oddity is that I have seen them made/dated a few weeks apart YET some have the old early civialin restangualr instrument cluster while others have the round dials...... done with left overs..???

Seen them in Sault Ste Marie, Belleville, I have one, one in Montreal, Grimsby, ect

DAvid Hayward... God bless his soul.... would love to dealt with such oddities.
It seems that they were all late war tiem production that may have been cancelled ands never sent downunder and eventually got liquidated locally in Eastern Canada.... pure speculation in my part.

You could well be right. Like Phil pointed out, there was a series of three tonners with 16" wheels for special purpose house type bodies. If this was one of them, the three ton GS body would not have been original to this truck.

Anyway, it looks like a very nice restored vehicle. I see the auction ended with the reserve not met, so I guess we'll be seeing it on here again.

Wow, prices must have really increased in the last little while.
$30K to 65,000 Euros.....
At todays price $30K USD is about 21,725 Euros.

[chris vickery]

No judgement, just a matter of observation.
Even if the owner spent the equivalent of twice the price inc buyer premium, shipping, maintenance and repairs to get her up to standard, that would still only be $30,000USD x 2 = $60,000USD or 43,450 Euro which is still a ways off from 65,000 Euro...
Considering the Auction brought worldwide buyers, I would assert that the fair market value a year ago was what was paid at the time.
Nevertheless, it is indeed a nice example of a somewhat rare machine and I hope it finds a good home.
