Auction
I went to the tractor auction and the hit and miss motors had already sold. It appears that most of them sold in the 2 to 3 hundred dollar range. I did not have to wait long and the Chevy truck came up for bid. They said it was about a 1930 to 32 model and did not have a title.
I bid it up to $2800.oo and backed out, it sold for $3200.oo.

Fire Truck
I called the Missouri DOT and they said pretty much what Michael said, as long as the Fire truck was not over 26,000 GVR, has historic tags, does not go out of state, and I do not use it to make money, the CDL is not required.
As far as to what bid I’ll put in, $1867.oo sounds like a good number.
Is it a must need truck? No.
Will I whine for years if I don’t get it? No, how could I whine if the wife does not evrn know I bid on it.
There are plenty more trucks out there that would be fun to own. Here is another auction this Friday. The mobile crane looks interesting and they also have a fire truck up for bid also.
I know, it’s an addiction.
