Let’s Go Halvsies!: 1965 Huey Helicopter On eBay

Oh man, the fear we could strike in my neighborhood with that thing.

In other hovering news, this is an immaculately conceived restored 1965 Marine Corps Huey gunship for sale on eBay. You and I are going to buy it together and take turns going on neighborhood patrol. Oooooooor just sitting in it playing helicopter hero because we both lost our pilot’s licenses trying to land on top of 7-11. DELTA BRAVO TO SNACK BASE, PREPARE THE CHIPS & SODA AIRLIFT, OVER.

IT IS BEING SOLD WITH NO DATA PLATE AND NO RECORDS. ENG, TRANS AND BLADES ARE MISSING SERIAL NUMBERS. ALL GUN MOUNTS, AMMO CANS, CHUTES, GUNS, AND 2.75 ROCKET PODS ARE INCLUDED IN THE SALE. ALL GUNS ARE NON-FIREING DUMMY’S. THIS HELICOPTER WAS HANGER KEPT MOST OF ITS LIFE. BEING SOLD AS A STATIC DISPLAY THAT RUNS. RECORDS HAVE BEEN LOST. SLOW FUEL LEAK, VERY SLOW HYDROLIC LEAK. (they all leak). NO EXPORTING WITHOUT PROPER PAPERWORK PERIOD. (EUC ). THIS MIGHT BE THE ONLY CHANCE YOU WILL HAVE TO BUY A RUNNING & F***** GUNSHIP AT A STATIC DISPLAY PRICE.

*NOTE* HELMETS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE.

No data, no serial numbers — they’ll never be able to trace us! The non-firing dummy guns is a shame but I’m sure we can replace them with firework mortars or something. Also, no helmets included? WHO NEEDS A HELMET?! Flying a helicopter with a helmet is like riding a bicycle with a mouth guard and knee pads: overkill.

Several more shots, a video of the bird starting, and a link to the auction after the jump.
