Re: Half Track
One is curious as to what the story is behind this machine. Some CO's pet project? A base museum that is downsizing? Lost in the motor pool for several decades?

Curious is where the Depression Era cars are coming from.

Re: Half Track
Maybe our Uncle seized the assets of somebody for taxes or civil forfeiture and is auctioning it all off?
It says NON-DLA Disposition Services Property in the box on the right, so maybe that's what it is?
ETA: That 47 Ford with the Desoto Hemi is cool, and the 1930 Model A 5-window is a seriously nice piece of tin!

Re: Half Track
opening bid was only $25.
Not that I could afford maintenance even if I bought it for $25.

Re: Half Track
You do not want a half-track. They're seriously expensive to maintain. A good idea, once, that turned out to be not so good an idea. It needs to be in a museum, somewhere, or parked out front of the VFW.

Re: Half Track
Yeah, cool, but even less practical than a deuce and a half. Which is what SOME people would want as a bug-out vehicle. A good idea only if you have a motor pool.

Re: Half Track
Opening bid will be $25 until the auction actually starts. Expect meteoric rises in cost over the 3 days it's live.
