Was there today & still cant believe they are all gone.

Ive been looking at them for over 10 YEARS NOW !!!!

OUR GREAT GOBBERMENT AT WORK

 

[Charlie 6]

Those goats were at the Forest Service yard south of Norman, by the airport there?

 

[hndrsonj]

The really bad thing is that there's GSA and Forest Service sites like that all over the US.

Those where the ones. All gone now.

Well all may not be lost. I had lunch with one of the Forestry workers today.

The Goats where transfered back to the Feds and 94 of them where trucked to Camp Grubber in eastern Oklahoma. More than likely for target practice.

At least they weren't crushed for scrap yet.

With that being said and knowing how the gubberment works, we may be seeing them transfered to the OKC GL lot and then sold as scrap.

Anyone needing a few Gama Goat rims with junky tires? PM me for info.

 

[M715VFD405]

Joe there was a guy on the Zone looking for some tires for a gama goat rim you might look it up if you can help out....

The forestry service had been tying to get rid of those things for years. I actually took the DOD demil to them and offered to do the demil, but they were in a state of flux with no head honcho and no one wanted to give the go ahead. Once they gota new guy in there it was not but a couple of months and they were gone. I will assure you if they went to Gruber they will be blown to bits. I was pissed as all I wanted was a pressure plate and a pressure fork for the tranny. Never would sell me one or give me one and my goat is still down as I cant find one that someone does not think is made of gold or platenum. Really sucks.....

OK fellas here's how we approach the situation. We contact the
agency in question and inform them that we are interested in parts
reclamation to support vehicles that were released prior to the De-mil
being imposed on the Gama Goat vehicles(Which we can prove)
We also point out that members of our "Historic military vehicle assoc."
has members in its ranks that have successfully performed this process
on vehicles that were sold by DOD(which we can also prove) then the clincher is all proceeds (minus our document able expenses)from the scrap generated will be returned to the generating agency. This will
accomplish the de-mill plus be a positive cash generator for the controlling agency. And clear up their unsightly eco non friendly SITREP!
Who's up for the challenge????????? popacom / BILL in Ky.

Count me in.

 

[Charlie 6]

They are at Gruber and yes they are/will be using them for targets.
Count me in.

 

[drbombe]

why can they give them away? I might let an envelope fall on the ground, they pick it up and a goat drives away....simple?

 

[Ghostrider73]

Last I had heard, forestry was not even letting rural depts. have then for the last few years. We have one, and when we turn it in that's it.

The fact is the gamma was special built for special purpose . The thing carried twin Vulcan canons, and various missle launch platforms.

Are you sure your talking about the same vehicle?

 

[Gamagoat1]

I think we just steped into the Twilight Zone...

You've got good eyes!!!
Looks like Gruber is vacant.. All those poor Goats.

Reckon Ive got one of the VERY few RUNNING on the road "goats" here in blighty. (and) it's been "adopted" by my new (apprentice) Helper. Its a lot of fun to drive and certainly draws attention where ever it goes.

 

[iatractor]

How many wound up in American civilian hands when first released?
