LSVW For Sale On GCSurplus

[emmanuel sylvestre]

They will be sold as unit but will most likely show as scrap metal on GCSurplus. It's just the way military as to dispose of them. Valcartier sold a lot of 100 in 2017. We are starting in a smaller scale to clear our compound and reorganize.

Basicly it will either be sold all 20 at the time which I think is the plan and the winning bid will take all the vehicles with them.

There was a big sell off in Valcartier that included stringent conditions about certifying the vehicles were shredded. The buyer had a specific number of days to remove the bid, and had to provide certificates for hazardous materials etc. Not conditions that helped collectors.

For what it's worth, I'd like to buy a vinyl tarp from whoever buys an LS in Eastern Ontario. I have one for my M151A2 but it has several abrasion holes.

Kind of a shame the non-roadworthy/non-repairable ones are not sold in such a way that they could be cannibalized, and the remaining frames/cab, residue could be destroyed under witness of either CADC or DND. There will be hundreds of these vehicles in Cdn civilian hands (although the plan now is to retain both the LSVW and the HLVW until 2025) and there are no real sources of spare parts for them. If these were sold individually or in smaller lots of 2 or 3 strictly for salvage, I suspect they could fetch much better than scrap prices.



This would be better for the collector market, as well as for the DND.

we are selling some of them in lots of 10 but its a matter of time and space atm.

we do not have the room to park the new vehicles and the process involved to sell these vehicles is taking a long time.

Take a shot a these 20 LSVW coming shortly the bid will be starting off at 5000$ for 10 of them. Some are just missing too much parts to bother selling as a repairable vehicle but with 2 or 3 of them you could make a good one.

Most are missing like master cylinder, radiator, flat tire, batteries, coolant expansion res cap, starter/alternator.

But it's a hit and miss.

What are the conditions of sale likely to be? Scrap with no parts harvesting, and 100% proof of shredding>

Terry I just looked at the conditions of sale on the first of them, you get an ownership with these them.

The process is you pay for the vehicle, but before collection you must go register it provincially, unfit, into your name using the provided DND source paperwork.

Once you do that and prove it to the sales office stated you get a release and can go collect it.

That is how it worked for my snow mobile and I was very happy with it and it is simple and clean, its all done and no goofy licensing issues.

It cleans things up a whole lot.

This is GCSurplus wording atm these are bought as is. There are no condition of shredding on these.

Once you acquire them they are yours, I believe like I said in an earlier post that with a lot of 10 you could possibly make 2-3 serviceable trucks with 10 of them.

All the contacts are on the link

The current listing is inconsistent with the notion a buyer could part out the vehicles for resale.

See my previous post, which is a portion of the full conditions.

“The buyer will have to accept "contaminated scrap" as such: a combination of metal and non-metallic materials including an unspecified quantity of dirt, plastic and cardboard (ex: tires, rubber hoses, etc., that can be attached or not to the scrap metal parts).

The buyer will have to destroy the vehicles and provide a Certificate of Destruction for each unit. A document format will be provided by the Department of National Defence (DND)

Some pictures could have to be provided as proof and the site will have to be accessible to the DND employees so they can ensure the Crown that the vehicles are not resold whole or for parts.”
