Georgia USMC Wreckers

[ProPower]

So does anybody know the one guy who bought six of these in Georgia! First group of marine wreckers I've seen! GOD I HOPE IT'S NOT A SCRAPPER!

 

[PowerstrokeNC]

i need to know too!

 

[ProPower]

I was lucky to get the two I won! Cant wait to get them home!

You guys do know some of those were residue trucks right?
They rebuilt trucks at that location and those were prob left over after they quit the 900 series rebuild program.
This was similar to all the trucks being sold out of Camp Shelby. They rebuilt them there also.
There were some diamonds among the coal but a lot of those trucks have been cannibalized or had serious issues. I looked at several of them and I would not have bid on any of them unless I had previewed them in person.
I'm not trying to rain on your parade and I could be wrong about specific trucks but a lot of those trucks were toast.

Only one truck in this sale was residue and it sold for 3200 which is still less than scrap value! Worse case scenario I'll build one truck out of the two!

Where you able to preview them? Some of youse guys (NJ speak) always seem to have the inside track. wondering how.

 

[PowerstrokeNC]

These were the burned looking ones? Or are we talking about different ones?

 

[ProPower]

Yes, but there not burnt! It is a spray on rust preventative!

 

[PowerstrokeNC]

Agh, ok that makes sense.

I still want to know who got the tractor there with the armored windshield. It had the burnt looking rust stuff on it too. Which at the time I though was burnt.

 

[ProPower]

That was a typo! It was listed as a tractor but was really a wrecker! And yes almost all of them had bulletproof glass!

 

[Suprman]

I wonder how those snuck by without anyone noticing and if there is anything else upgraded on them

In all honesty, you'd have to have bought several of the trucks to make a working truck. Those trucks, as mentioned had been cannibalized extensively. None of them came in under their own power.

The cool thing is that I saw locker data plates, but, I agree, they are going to need work and I hope the motors are free. Who knows how long they have been sitting?

A very long time. NHC-250's do not like to sit for long periods of time.

Just for a note of interest, my 819 sat for TWO years (motor (NHC-250) never turned over) when I tried to make it fly, after putting it back together and bleeding the fuel, she FIRED right up and after a few minutes smoothed out.

I can show you row upon row of 250's that weren't so lucky only 10 miles from my house.
