>Hi John,

>I know it's past your deadline, but I wanted to tell you about a special
>event we have coming up. Government Liquidation is inviting military
>vehicle enthusiasts to bid on a 1971 AM General 2.5 ton truck, to be
>auctioned off on Saturday, October 2nd, outside of Bank One Ballpark
>located
>in downtown Phoenix, AZ.
>
>A true American classic, these trucks were first produced in 1949, and
>today's examples are being used by our troops in the Persian Gulf. This
>particular M35A2 was built by AM General in 1971 in Southbend, Indiana, and
>is in running condition.
>
>It has all wheel drive, and a flick of a switch inside disconnects the
>front
>axle drive for highway cruising. It has a 10,000 pound capacity PTO-driven
>front winch and the 200 feet of wire rope lets you reach well away from the
>truck.
>
>In addition to the winch, this truck has two other desirable options. It
>has a hard top cab rather than canvas, and it's equipped with power
>steering. The hard top, winch and power steering normally sell for over
>$1000.00 each, PLUS installation, but are included here.

>With rising fuel prices, this vehicle's Multifuel capability can come in
>handy, too. Normally running on diesel, the truck will also burn gasoline,

>used motor oil.
