M151 A2's for sale in Australia- advice sought

[Big D]

Hi Rick,

Thanks for that. I hadn't heard of them before; wish I had, I would have taken a look in March when I was over for Corowa.

Is Mike a good one to talk to there about them?

Thanks.

The captions suggest parts are easily available from the US. As many Canadians have learned, ITARS will keep a lot of US military parts and components on the south side of the border. There was a thread about a big scrap yard in Upstate New York which pulled a large quantity of M151A2 parts and wrecks because of government questions if these had the correct level of demilitarization.

The price probably has a fair chunk of transportation added in. Just to move my M151A2 three-days across Canada, cost $1700 to ride in an enclosed trailer towed by a pickup. If a buyer Down Under was to find an equally equipped vehicle in similar condition, he would pay much more than that IMHO.

To get an idea of the construction and inspection/rebuilding of an M151A2, search for threads by Scott Bentley.

Darryl,

Mike is the boss, I can't think of his son's name unfortunately. Tell Mike I said to speak to him and say hello from me.

Thanks Terry. I have passed that on. Scott's restoration is one hell of an example.

Thanks also Rick. I passed on your regards.

The father in law is going to take a trip next week to check them out.

Cheers for the assistance.
