And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

At some point they probably sold all these off cheap as surplus.
I follow the GSA auctions (up until this BS when they shut them off). Most of the stuff you see that's used by government agencies are pretty much beat to shit.
My boss spoke very fondly of his old Jeep Wagon, claiming for the single hunter one helluva great camping / hunting / beach fishing wagon. I have no idea which particular model it was. After it was sold, he bought a Chevy Surburban 4x4 which drank the gasoline, but was even more comfortable and carried a crew as well.
The last Jeep he bought a couple of years ago pissed him off - he kept tripping himself climbing out of the drivers side. He sold it, worried he would face plant in the parking lot.
hjets is right. I know that in the 1970s the vehicles were sold when they hit 100,000 miles. Most were treated poorly by college-aged seasonal workers and run into the ground. They were pretty much death traps by the time they were sold.
