Manassas Park Auction Planned for Saturday

Manassas Park officials will be hosting an auction on May 21 at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Items on the auction block will include cars, old tools and some heavy machinery.

Three of the cars to be auctioned off are former police vehicles; a Cadillac Escalade used as a police K-9 unit is also on the block. Four trucks  used by the Manassas Park Department of Public Works are also up for grabs.

One large Martin Machinery Generator is up for sale. It was purchased in 2002 for use during emergencies. 

"The generator only has 21 hours of use on it," said Chris Simmons, Manassas Park superintendent of public works. "It generates so much power, you could probably run half of the city on it."

Interested bidders can visit the public works building at 331 Manassas Drive from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Saturday to see the items up for sale.
