With summer in full swing and fall just around the bend, Oregonians are now in the market for road trip vehicle options and the Elgin Fire Department and EMS may have just what you’re looking for (with a little renovation).
The department is currently auctioning off a 2007 F350 4×4 Medic Type 1 ambulance. This vehicle can be converted into the ultimate camper for road trips. This online auction is open to the public at municibid.com and ends Monday, Sept. 5.
The ambulance has 97,066 miles on it and features Power Stroke 6.4L Turbo, Fog Lights, a Search Light, Ferno Cot, and 5-Speed Automatic/6-Speed Manual transmission.
Travel enthusiasts and DIY fanatics would have a blast converting this ambulance into the road trip vessel of their dreams. Upcycling has exploded in popularity over the years, and it is now being seen all over the automotive space. Creative visionaries are now refurbishing vehicles like ambulances that are no longer being used and repurposing them by giving them a completely new look and life. The winning bidder can customize the ambulance to their heart’s desire by adding a kitchen area, sleeping area, TV, a meditation space, and more.
Why is this auction important? All of the proceeds from this auction will go right back to the city of Elgin Fire Department and EMS. These funds can be used to buy new water hoses, medical equipment, another vehicle, helmets, and other essentials that the fire department and EMS need to fight fires and save the lives of those in dire situations.
