Bunch at GSA Auctions in New Hampshire.

I have looked the stuff over. Let me know if you have questions. I am bidding on some items.

What condition were the M715s in? Running? Body rot? I sent an email to the administrator at the location waiting for a reply to look at he trucks. About a 3 hour drive down for me in Colebrook.

[Paul (in NH)]

Nothing is running at this point. The two that look best in the photos, would probably run, and in fair shape. It's hard to know, as a lot of the trucks get returned because of some mechanical malfunction.

if you are looking for a 715, I have one for sale in Chichester. Needs a little work right now, so would let it go for $2500, once I get it running and cleaned up, it will be $3500.

Anybody score anything?

I was bidding on about 5 items, really wanted the fire pump trailer, but ended up with nothing. There is more stuff there so there may be another auction in the future.

I was bidding on a nice davey air compressor but bowed out at 500 and it went for 640 ....

I was the under-bidder on the complete looking green M37. If I had previewed it first, I would have felt more comfortable bidding higher on it. I don't know how long that stuff has been sitting there, but I could swear I saw that green M38A1 there about five years ago when I went to a meet at the NH Snowmobile Museum Association show there.

[Paul (in NH)]

The M37 could have been. A lot of the trucks have been there a long time while they have been arranging an auction. I know I have been hearing about the auction for at least 2 years, but they don't have the personnel to devote time to making the necessary preparatory arrangements.

I went and looked the M37's over, They had'nt run for a least 2 years and have been out in the weather the whole time. The red one with the winch had the engine and tranny sitting in the cargo box with a big hole in the block. The yellow one had the nastiest looking roll cage, someones going to keep busy cutting that thing off. If any of them do run, I'm sure they are tired. It was sad to see them in such dis-repair. I'm surprized they bid up so high.

How were the M 43's? I was real tempted but resisted since I didnt preview.
