No way. You're way better off checking regional Craigslist ads. Typically those have been fixed up and you know they are driveable and you can walk away if you aren't comfortable. One or 2 will pop up monthly but you have to be prepared to act fast.

Government auctions don't let you check then out or put batteries in them to see if they run.

A raw CUCV is going to have a good 6 or 7 major issues seeing as how these are 30 year old vehicles.

Register at steelsoldiers.com and start educating yourself if you are serious.

You have to call the facility the vehicle is at. I've never had a facility tell me I couldn't look at a vehicle if I wanted to. If it's not close enough to go look at, I wouldn't bid on it.
