There is a 99.99999% chance that this is ONLY a loaner and whoever buys it
will never be certain it will not be repossessed. I say that since NO
American Armor since the Korean war has legally went from the government to
a private party in the USA. That being said, I know one guy down the road
from me that has a whole bunch of American armor, but he also has a staff of
lawyers and slick ways of bringing stuff in, but we shouldn't mention J.
L.'s name here! lol

I think I would try to bid on it and take my chances that my purchase price
would be refunded... if the vehicle was reclaimed. I'm reasonably sure you
would get a refund too.

So, if and when it does come up on auction, I am going to try and buy me an
"implement of husbandry" commonly known as the M (Massey) 113 APC (A)gri-use
(P)owered (C)ultivator. I'll go up to bout $18k if the Mrs. will let me,
think that ought to buy it? Then if I get it, you all can come to the ranch
and help me play with, er, pull stumps with it and plow and such. Also as
an implement of husbandry if I hang an orange triange on the back and it
will be road legal up to 35 mph, per state law!

I seem to remember something like this coming up before. I think they
were only "loaned" to the sheriff depts. Too bad it is only worth an
hour of someones time to check if they can legally sale something worth
$10,000. I wonder what they will think if the US gov wants it back
after it is melted down?

I really like the part about why anyone would want it. But, then I get
that a lot myself. Comes in second to "what are you going to do with
THAT".
