We live a little over an hour from auction. We are looking at attending it. If anyone is interested in the firetruck and would like to bid on it give me a call.
We are not interested in buying it, but we could keep you informed of where the bid is and could bid for you. (you would have to make payment and transportion arrangements prior to auction)
Our cell # is : 517-414-4433.
I would hate to see it go for a song and find out someone on the island really wanted it.
Have a great monday night!

The fire truck sold at auction today for $15,500. Is was beautiful for sure. Funny story...they could not find the key for the fire truck so the auctioneer announced it was as is, if they don't find the key you are buying it without it! So, they could not even start it up to show it ran. Regardless, it still sold for $15,500.
