More than 104 abandoned cars, trucks and motorcycles will be sold at the Fort Stewart Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation’s second annual vehicle auction 10 a.m. Oct. 20.

The vehicles include abandoned vehicles found on Fort Stewart and fleet vehicles that once belonged to MWR; which range from a classic 1979 Pontiac Firebird to luxury sedans, sport utility vehicles, motorcycles, passenger vans, and even a bus.

The auction lot is located on McFarland Avenue, just past Pond 10, the military gas station and military wash rack - on the right.
The selection of cars may be of interest to car lovers and novices alike. Whether you are looking for a set of wheels with minimal repairs or perhaps a fixer upper, there is something available for everyone’s level of expertise.

In preparation for the auction, Libby Auto Crafts Center manager Benjamin Mays and mechanic, Silvan Brissette, transported several vehicles to the sales location. One of the vehicle highlights is a 2010 black Chevrolet Camaro. When it arrived the engine roared to life as it was backed off of the tow-truck.

“Some of the vehicles run and have keys, however some don’t,” Mays said. “We have a Camaro and a Chrysler PT Cruiser that are among the best deals as far as price and condition. For those that don’t run, we will have tow trucks and a lock smith on site.”

For the car buyers who may need assistance determining what needs to be fixed on their newly purchased vehicles, Mays suggests requesting the assistance of Libby Auto Crafts Center.

“The Libby Auto Crafts staff can help our owners inspect their auctioned vehicles and conduct repairs, if needed,” Mays said.

Libby offers a wide variety of auto services from engine diagnostics, air conditioning services, tune- ups, small engine repair, and more. The facility is also available, to eligible Department of Defense ID card holders, who want to use the bays to work on their own vehicles.

For the auction, all purchased vehicles must be registered within 30 days after sale to avoid additional fees from the court. Registration must take place in the county of residence as indicated on the purchaser’s driver’s license.

Pre-registration for auction numbers is underway. Two additional preview opportunities are scheduled for today, 3-6 p.m. and Saturday, 7-9 a.m.
