Ambulance seen near Willmar, MN
 

Just thought I'd pass along an odd find. I spotted about a 1970 ambulance for sale in someones yard, just south of Willmar, MN on Hwy 71. I did not stop to take a closer look, but for anybody interested, details wont really matter that much.

if you drive by again, snap a photo... 'd love to see what it looks like.

Ambulance...
 

This one was for sale in northern minnesota. anyhow here is a pic for those who wanted to see.

Been driving by that twice a week for a couple years now. Doesnt seem like it ever moves.

REAR STEP BUMPER :confused: :lol: :confused:

I have looked at that ambulance in Willmar. It is very rough. There aren't any good body panels on it anymore. Just been sitting around for too long. Inside there was a for sale sign that had a $5000 price tag on it at one time. It has been there for at least 3 years that I have known about it.

Is that rescue suburban in the Ada-Borup area? I see Borup Rescue on it.

This one is in a junkyard near Bemidji

Dang! I just saw that today (Saturday), as I was heading up to Windy Hill Auto Parts. The ambulance is located a little bit south of 60 th St/Ave & Hwy 71, if I recall correctly.

If you figure on going to Windy Hill, forget it. It has been about 6 years since I've been there and the yard sold and they crushed and hauled just about everything out of there. Just a lot of bare land and fond memories. They had about 4 of our trucks on like 110 bare acres. The new owner is crazy in price. D29 West Coast Jr Mirrros (Painted, and needs paint) -- $20.00 ea if you take them off. Offered $20 for the pair he wasn't interested. Starter for 350 engine $35.00. Forget it. Bah.

I feel lucky to have visited this yard when it was in it's hey day. I'll never go back.

Roger 0080- I know what you mean about Windy Hill- it's definatly not the yard it used to be! You could spend a solid day and not see it all :bowtie: but not now. :whine:

anyone ever get up near Big Stone-Ortonville? back in '90 when I lived near there I remember a yard with nothing but Chevys & you could barely walk between them.

Bringing this thread back from the dead to find out if anyone here knows what happened to this rig?

It's a "Crash Wagon" model built by the Stoner Ambulance Mfg. Company in Southern California and they would be a pretty rare find today. I just picked up a GMC Suburban version of one of these this past September:

Any leads are greatly appreciated!

I know I said it before but the name "Stoner" is so period correct for a 67-72 anything !!

Re: Ambulance seen near Willmar, MN
 

wonder if it's the same as my buddy eric's. his is a 69 chevy that came from Sturgis, SD it's for sale but he's pretty proud of where it came from.

Not a Stoner but from the shape of the roof cap I can tell this is a Sentinel model built by the Wayne Corp. Be nice to see more pics of it though!

Reprising this thread again to find out if anyone here knows what happened to this rig? I need a few rare parts from it's ambulance DNA and if it's just sitting junked somewhere I could really use some help getting it located.

Thanks for any help - if it still exists I know someone out there has seen it!
