My new M923

Found this on CL down on the Outer Banks, NC

Price was right, now to get it back to Boston, MA.

I may well drive it back, let's see what U-Ship and others have to offer.

It's a 22 minute drive, and you want to get it shipped??

Congrats!! Welcome to the 5 Ton club! Nice looking truck, good luck with it in the future.

Why does it show two different plates? Yellow on the rear and blue on the front?

Outer Banks, NC - I will edit the first post.

Why does it show two different plates? Yellow on the rear and blue on the front?

Possible reasons:

1. I am color blind and did not realize
2. This is an apportioned truck, the front is tagged in NC and the rear is tagged in VA
3. The tag in the back is the tag from VA, the tag in the front is the NC Beach Buggy Association and allows for driving on the beach.

Shipping prices will be insane. Probably $2k to $2.5k to ship it.

I suspect you are right.

I have a few irons in the fire so will see what shakes out.

May well be a thread shortly on my recovery plans asking for suggested route and SS backup along the way.

 

[pyrogod117]

Well, let us know what you decide. I will gladly assist with route guidance through NJ since I've driven countless tens of thousands of miles all around it. I'll also be along the way if you need anything.

Danl M915A1

the truck has two plates the old boy that owned it must of been running it, The outer banks to massis only a days drive 12 to 14 hr. My vote is drive it

I am going to wait till Tuesday of next week as I have been promised some quotes by then.

After that I will decide. I need to titile the truck at the very least by the 24th, in MA you have 10 days following the purchase to title the truck and pay the sales tax.

The truck is regularly driven so in theory a 650 mile trip should not be problematic, but as we all know with these trucks anything can happen.
