Looks like a honest 45 Half Track.

It's a Non-DLA item so the prior owner (before GOV LIQ) is not shown but was most likely non-military owner. Had this been a DLA item I am sure one of the Army Museums would have already scarfed it up.

Here's my response from Gov. Liq. on my vehicle history or prior owner info.
Question and Answer Below:

Event Id: 20111
Lot Number: 103

Question:
----------------------------------------------
I see this lot is Non-DLA. What or who was the prior owner? Do you have any history on this truck from 1945 on?

Answer:
----------------------------------------------
We have no prior history.
How's that for above board and helpful! :roll:

Apparently one fine day this half track appeared in the Gov. Liq. yard and they determined they had lawful possession and right to sell! :roll:

Be sure and look at the video of this. It sounds like it runs great. I wish my pockets were a lot deeper!

Let's say that this thing was seized by the government for some legal reason. It spends a required amount of time in the Gov Impound yard and then again in the Gov Liq's yard. Now they sell it for over $35,000 to some poor fellow. Then the original owner wins his court case and has all the seizures voided. Guess who really owns that halftrack now?+

That is why I ask for the previous owner since Gov Liq has already stated it was not from government stocks. Their refusal to release prior ownership info is cleary a good sign that the legal string of ownership is not there.
