Purchase of Vehicles in VN

Clause B may not be easy with VN officials.

There are very few US military vehicles left over from the war remaining on the road in VN. They are past their use-by date. I see them being cut up for scrap in a local business.   There are some very new looking US military jeeps around, but you'll have to get the right contact to find a source for them.  You could try at the Ettah Pub near the ferry terminal in Vung Tau for a start. It is popular with expats

Decent running old US Military vehicles are now a prized possession of the "my other Car is a Bentley crowd." Some non running fixer-uppers are still hanging around and can be bought quite cheaply.

Viet Nam has expensive and extensive mandatory inspections every six months for cars, buses and trucks. So a lot of nice vehicles have been scrapped. Trucks and buses have had a mandatory scrap requirement after 20 years for quite some time. So larger vehicles, if their are any, would be Surplus Yard only as replacements are purchased for the VN Military. I haven't been their in a couple of years but the VN Government Surplus Vehicle Yard is a good place to look. You will need the assistance of someone who knows the people.

Right now, I am spending full time attending my gravely ill "child bride" of 42 years. I am unable to personally assist you. But I have a Vietnamese friend who teaches auto repair who may be able to break loose for a day or two and give you a hand.

Old Military vehicles have gotten fairly rare over the last few years as the VN government has acquired new vehicles and mostly scrapped them.

A couple years ago, I bought a fixer upper Jeep CJ-5 for about $2,500 USD. A decently restored military Jeep or M-151 was running around $20,000 USD. I've no idea as to current prices.
