The M-561 is in the DRMO hit list along with the M-151. Although a few made
it thru the cracks and some were accuired by the forrestry service and fire
several fire departments then sold to john Q public insted of being returned
to the US GOVT like the were supposed to. If you buy one of these with a
title you can transfer the title to your name and get it regestered in most
states that I know of. I do know that parts are drying up fast, it seems
that Mexico accuired quite a few from the US and have run out of parts and
are buying up ALL of the NOS and used goat parts from the MV suppliers IE;
RivRad. If you own a goat it would be a good idea to bid on these vehicles
just to part them out. You are not going to find the steering boxes and
brake drums ( just a few of the odd ball items known only to the goat ). If
they were selling these goats In the south east I would be happy to bid on
all three for some much needed spare parts.

anyway thats the scoop
