CMP's in Greece
I just found this veteran in a greek farm. It's ex-Greek Army judging from the gun holder behind the drivers back. After it's retirement from service, she continued to work as a civilian truck.
I'm going to rescue it, if all goes well and reach to an agreement with the owner. I need your help! Please post your comments about it.. Is it worth to get it?

Welcome aboard Kostas
Welcome to the crazy world of CMP collection, restoration, etc.....
Looks to be in good shape..... has original GS box..... cab reasonably solid....roof hatch... any seats inside...... engine???? There are few C15 two wheel drive left..... Make sure you save the "sand channel" perforated steel on the front bumper and while at it look for others like it on the junk yard..... they have good trading potential. That yard seems to have some interesting Jeeps as well...... you may want to see it they do not have another for parts....... you would not want to separate a family of CMPs...... Good Luck..... hope the price is right and post more pictures as you uncover its full potential. Boob

Hi Kostas,
Welcome to the wonderful world of CMP's, from a cold and damp England. ANY CMP is worth saving !. On the face of it, that one is definately worth saving, especially as it's a Chevy, and still has it's rear body, and looks to be fairly rust free and complete. Go for it !

@Bob Carriere:
Thank you for the welcoming and your ecouraging words! The most important thing I need now, is this: advise! Engine? Yes! There is one! _1_17-01-2010_engine_resz.jpg_1_17-01-2010_cabin_resz.jpg @Eric: Thank you! Hmm...Interesting about M38A1, ya? There are tens of them, here! @Keith Orpin: Thank you for your heartening words! Kostas Last edited by Haridimos; 20-01-10 at 23:48. Reason: spelling |

You mean that blue canister? Nothing! The last owner had put gasoline inside, and left it there empty.
How do you find the hole scene? |

You mean this "step"? Good question, never seen it before!
I like the "one and a half" co-drivers seat. A post-war modification, but a useful one. . . H.

Don't lose that sand channel - it might be worth more than the truck! If I wasn't so far away I would be interested in buying it (the sand channel).
