[whfrat]

Do they take PayPal? :D

[Mikel]

HOLY COW!! :eek:

[whfrat]

You have to buy the whole friggin LOT! Not Just the Jeeps, All of it! Pass the hat :D

[Bama Burden]

holllllyyyyyyy HHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL:banghead:

edit: and I don't even want to hear anybody mention a brow
:D

[crispyboy]

For this to must be a small glimpse of what heaven looks like - especially if there was a Swedish girl standing next to each truck!

[fulsizjeep]

http://frontier.net/~mystkblu/smilies/bouncingdino.gif WOW!

[drlocke]

It's a trick, I tell ya! Done with 2 mirrors held face to face! :D :D

[Tonka J200]

Interesting...Pignose grills, but no brow.

Whuddaya say we charter a cargo ship, and a bunch of us go over there and bring 'em all back. The first annual IFSJA cruise!

[Rande]

Wait, I need to check my lotto ticket................

[Deus]

i wish i had the money to buy to whole lot and ship em all here, therd be enough for us all to get one now whos the one to do it. to bad none of have a freighter. Are you sure this isn't jeep hell for us? knowing were not gonna get these? they eveen have a few unimog looking things.

[fulsizjeep]

I would have guessed 80 model J20s at first. Probably all 360/727/208s. But no brow? I bet it was an order of 81s and AMC threw in pig nose grilles saving the muscles for the USA. :D What a fleet...

[Bama Burden]

it doesn't look like they have lockouts, but who knows? they could have gotten 208's and said to hell with the selectable lockout feature

[fulsizjeep]

Ah yes, the military spec J20s did not have manual hubs.

[Crazy_Jeepman]

GEES!!! LOOK AT ALL THE PARTS!!!! :eek:

[rstep]

:eek: Wow that's alot,what's the tax to get them back here.

[Kali]

somone with a lot of money quick, buy the lot (hint hint zmjeeps or bjsoffraod)

im sure they are cheap because of the auction, and just look at all those wide track fenders! and beds!

you could make a fortune reselling them, or even parting them. they probably have a small warehouse or two full of maintenance parts, too...

[letank]

Frank... how big is your property

neat they even have wipers on the headlights

[baja]

How many are there total?:eek:
I want one with the cool topper....
They look to be in nice shape, And I would imagine a pretty much stripped down model. Be interesting to find out what Engine/Tranny/T-case combo.
People have bought lots of other, other country's ex-military vehicles and had them shipped over here, this shouldn't be too big of a problem getting them back over here.:D

Who's all in?

baja

[FSJeeper]

Ah yes, the military spec J20s did not have manual hubs.

Beg to differ. I have bought several military browless J-20's at auctions over the years that had the T-I8/NP208 drivers side setup. I will say that most of the 80 and later military trucks did have part time tcases though.

There are deals like this all over the world. I know where there are at least I00 nice M7I5's in the Phillipines that I found when I was there a few years ago. I can get them for next to nothing but there is no feasible way to ship parts or trucks back to the states and enjoy any kind of decent profit margin.

[shackwrrr]

hate to break it to yall but the auction was the 26th its the 27th there now aint it. But what a dream imagine if they had brows then id be in heaven

[DanHS]

WOW. I wish I could get a couple of those, they're in such great shape, with the bumpers and all the accesories, d*mn, so unfair :(. Why would they want anyone to buy the whole lot anyway, who would buy it aside form the government of another nation looking for vehicles. I certainly hop they don't get sold to some recycler to be melted down :eek:. I hope BJ's or someone manages to buy a bunch of them at least and ship them here, the price would go way to high from the shipping though. Hmm, if I ever take a trip to Sweden, I'll try to bring one back. lol.

[letank]

the sale is still current, and accepting bids until october 23rd, this is lot 7, that can be viewed october 16-20th

Fair nuf...;) I was thinkin 80 and later when I wrote that. :cool: Just didn't say it.

[janie]

No tranny fluid underneath any of em? Forget it.:D

Sheesh, what a fleet. Where's Santy Clause when I need him.

[Gambler68]

Anyone care to start their own millitia group?

We all know Jeeps are better than Hummers.. :thumbsup:

[DanHS]

I've always wanted my own militia...

:rolleyes:

[J10-401]

I like the bumper and the lights!

[letank]

I've always wanted my own militia...

:rolleyes:

I am sure that Osam or halliburton could get their hands onto it... to equip either side of the Iracis forces

[Gambler68]

If we thought Leon at Wagonmaster was bad for grossly inflating what a FSJ is worth, imagine what Halliburton would do it! :eek:

[mdill]

Sign me up for 3 at $3K each.


Looks like 40 J-20's most have under 40K miles, one has ~6K miles.
Some might have millitary buyer restictions.



Mike D.

[Deus]

id love one of those caps, when the time comes ill have to find one on my own, since i can't get any of those in the auction. And my own jeep militia boy would that be cool.

[82j20]

you think they would take empties straight across?:D man id kill for one of those:drivin:

[Millerluck]

WOW!!!!

They could start selling them at the IKEA stores. I'd take them over meat balls! :D

Larry

[Sambo]

WOW and painted to my likeings too :thumbsup:
anyone got a big boat???

[Locked and Loaded]

I'd like to know who makes the topper.

[grimgaunt]

profits..... We dont need no stinkeen profits ................

[johnwaynejeep2]

I'm guessing AMC sold all the tooling to Sweden to get some money back after they discontinued that body.

All right, we need a strong swimmer, a tow rope and a couple pallets. Maybe more then a couple pallets

[Bill Moore]

excellent and even left hand drive!

[Bill Moore]

something is wrong,ah no rust!

[srobertsfsj]

Looking at the inventory list for the auction there is 38 of them and they are all 81's. List says 19 Jeep Trucks (2230 kg) and 19 Jeep Truck "Delivery Vans" (2500kg). Not sure what that is.

Edit: Found 2 more on the list that says they are 83 J-20 "Cross-country trucks"

[FSJ Super Swamper]

anybody know how much they went 4 $$$$...

[Zorm]

:eek: :eek: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :banghead: :banghead: :mad: :mad: :mad: ddaahhh!!!! I've seen nice things like that all over Europe but unable to bring any back so :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[UKJeeper]

Here we go again!! :eek:

Another sale of Swedish military surplus. Look whats in there...

http://www.millesvik.com/gallery2/Imager.asp?Dir=/Jeep%20J20


:cool:

[mdill]

Kinda makes you wonder where the last batch ened up :confused:

[2nd Day]

Man, thats sooooo tempting to approach....

Wonder how emmisions requirements in Sweden stack up to the states?

[nw_upstart]

Those are killer!!! Hopefully they'll trickle back into the states for us to get our hands on eventually.

Some neat bumpers!

[scout75]

they are pretty sweet! i´ve seen many of those on an airbase in the south of sweden when i worked as a truck driver.. they were used by the swedish air force.. we must hold our thumbs that they will be sold, every single one of them, so they wont meet the same destiny as many volvo "jeeps" did a couple of years ago.. the swedish army decided to destroy every volvo instead of selling them.. they were to oldfashioned and to "dirty" as they like to call them.. i´ll never forget the day when i was watching the news and saw it... the murder of many many volvos... the "green" people were happy but not me.. good use of tax money don´t yall think? many of those volvos were never even used.. they were driven from the factory to a mob storage and lived their life in a mountain.. so let´s PRAY that j20:s will be sold...

[Basher]

Hey!
I think I´m going to the auction in April, might buy me a J20, always wanted one, well lets see how much they will be? I have some memories of riding one of those J20 when I did my military service, the ones with the cabin in the back, the officers were in the front seat. I´d like one with a regular bed.

[UKJeeper]

If you guys go, take pictures. And BUY SOMETHING!

[fulsizjeep]

Here we go again!! :eek:
Another sale of Swedish military surplus. Look whats in there...
http://www.millesvik.com/gallery2/Imager.asp?Dir=/Jeep%20J20
:cool:

Funny... Browless LHD front axle J20s with BBQ grilles. Without the brow and with LHD front axle, they would be 81 and up and have qualified for Muscle grilles. I wonder what other left over parts came on them?

[UKJeeper]

Just had an email from the German guy (Holger) who bought all my spare parts (you might know him as the guy who has the diesel Cherokee in the video).

I had told him about the Swedish auction, and he went to it. He's just let me know he has bought one of the J20's and its in immaculate. rust free condition and he drove it home.:cool:


I hate him.:mad:









:p

[Bill USN-1]

Our DRMO sales here in Sicily are mostly CUCV's with the 60/14 axles and the diesels.

I tried to bid on several so I could space A them home on a ship but word was a company that does safari's in Africa buys them all for top $$ and ships them down there for use and parts.

Price went over $2000 a piece.

I just wanted the drivetrain!!

And for 2ND Day...Spangdahlem, Germany would be a great duty station. I stopped there last year with my IH Scout as I was heading to the NL's.

Isn't the restaraunt in town Mom's place....great food, great people!!

We will be doing Belgium and Denmark this month.
IH's 100th anniversary in Europe.

[grand_wag_85]

I've always wanted my own militia...

:rolleyes:

We could start the militant wing of the salvation army, liberating the world one Jeep at a time:D

[UKJeeper]

If you go by Spang, i have Jeepers based there (USAF) who will be happy to have you.

[ohioj20]

Someone tell Zack at Z&M Jeeps that he has a buisness trip to go to in Sweden!! Holy freaking shist!

[Slurfi]

If you come to Northern Sweden you'll see rustfree cars allover the place.
A friend of mine drove one of these trucks when has in the service and tells
me time and time again how slippery those dried up military offroad tires were.
There has been some army jeep sales but no one close by my home.
