No. Go here: http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/gsaauctions/ Then enter a search for "bombardier", and you'll find 'em.

I don't think they are related. The Quebec listing is a nicer paint job. The other listings are for the Yellowstone Park fleet. They are similar years 65-69ish, and were in service for years. They have the same yellow paint style from the factory. Federal regulations make them obsolete for emissions and sound quality. That's why the gov't is selling them.
 
Not related. The machine for sale in Quebec I believe is sold. He has 4-5 machines. I see him allot at the Bombardier rides that we go to Quebec.
 
The machines in the GSA auctions are R-18's. I have one and it weighs about 5000 lbs. R-18's were made from 1952 to 1978 with 431 units and I believe 10 were made in 1981 for a customer special order.

B-12's were made from 1941 to 1951. They have the wooden body and a steel frame. Bombardier made 2817 units. My B-12 weighs about 3400 lbs.

R-18 is 78" wide and B-12 is 60" wide.
 
I dont think and great deals were had. They went a little steeper then i thought, I figured around 10thou a piece. since they are not running sitting out in sticks, Or am I way off in my price?
 
Mike,
I'm seeing they went for: $15,600, $15,900, $12,200, $11,900, $11,350, and $9,751.
Go to Browse By Status, then Closed Auctions.

They were old Yellowstone machines from what I understand, they have not been run in years and all been sitting outside. I think I'm always being cheap when look at this stuff.
