This is one of the local auctioneers my wife works for so I can do a cursory inspection, looks nice in the picture, looks like supplemental armor doors.

The govplanet auctions lately are insane, i just watched an A2 that had WHITE ENGINE OIL bubbling out in the video sell for 18k !!!

Maybe someone filled it with a new milk based lubricant. No way it could be a cracked block/head/head gasket leaking in coolant..

While another A2 variant sold for $3100.

There's no rhyme or reason.

another one! I don't expect newbies to be experts on humvee engines but any idiot should know one that has the oil looking like this is ruined:




IT SOLD FOR $25,400 !!!!

Are they Adding that "cash for clunkers" additive (Sodium Silicate) that destroys the engine as part of the demil now?

 

[mgFray]

Wouldn't surprise me if someone poured in some leak stop to try to "fix" a head gasket failure.... but generally that doesn't go in the oil.

The pictures to me look more like coolant or just plain water in the oil to the point it's foamed (white) and as said earlier, ruining the engine.

According to the video it would not be running.
The truck in the first post sold for $27,500 PLUS the 13% fee this weekend, that's over 31K
