First MV

[hilber]

Seems as if I got apretty good buy on this thing in April. Runs great and I plan to paint it next year. I move slowly and am building a retirment home right now so after I move then comes the shop, if money is available. I was told it was a Nellis AFB security vehicle at one time. I bought it from an induvidual for the cool price of $1500.00. It has about 70,000 and runs and shifts like it is is getting broken in. I have been lurking around reading as many of the threads as I can ann elarning what I can. I have downloaded all the manuals and continue to read and learn.

Nice. My first MV will probably be an M1009. Congrats.

so where is the MV? all I see is a chevy blazer...

Well Hells Bells, I guess I stand corrected. I sure thought the CUCV being used by the Military was considered an MV. Guss it shows what I know as a rookie. Maybe my M35A2 will qualify then Let me know. What about M105A2's do they qualify. Guess i better get me sh/t together before I make many posts on here.

Looks like an ex-m1009 to me judging by the brushguard and non sliding rear glass

You have 1000+ posts and do not know that the M1009 is a military vehicle?

I guess it is a M1009 or that is what the data plate says and not a MV. Glad my deuce meets derricks definition.

Thanks for that, Zyrtecx. I was having a little fun out of some comments. I have got to get the information together and see where it did serve.
