Found this listing on govdeals.com earlier today and thought it was worth sharing. It caught my eye because of its unique combination of history and functionality.
The auction features a 1989 Spartan/E-One Fire Engine, which looks like it's in decent condition given its age. The current bid stands at $2,000, with a minimum bid requirement of $2,025 and a bid increment of $25. There have been five bids so far, and the auction ends on March 26th at 2 PM Eastern Time. Interestingly, there’s an automatic extension if someone places a bid close to the closing time, so things could get exciting as the deadline approaches.
From what I can gather, the vehicle has logged around 37,227 miles and comes with a VIN number of 1S9DT8D0XKC185121. It’s also noted that there are no title restrictions, which might make things easier for potential buyers. The buyer's premium is set at 12.5%, and there’s a "Reserve Not Met" tag under the table, suggesting that the seller hasn’t yet reached their minimum acceptable price.
The specifications listed under the table include the year (1989), the make (E-One), the model (Monarch), the VIN, mileage, and title status. It’s always fascinating to see how these older emergency vehicles hold up over time.
I’ve included some images from the auction page to give you a better idea of what the fire engine looks like. They’re pretty standard shots, but they do show the general condition of the vehicle. I also found a picture from our archives taken by Larry Shapiro, which gives a slightly different angle. Thanks to Martin for sharing that!
For anyone interested in classic firefighting equipment or looking to restore something unique, this could be a great opportunity. Whether you're a collector, a museum enthusiast, or just curious about how these vehicles were built back in the day, it’s definitely worth checking out. If you're thinking of bidding, keep an eye on the clock and don't forget to factor in the buyer's premium when planning your budget.
Let me know if you have any thoughts or if you've ever seen one of these engines in action!
