Scroll down to the pics. That is the ambulance the crew took from the junkyard and painted up. Looks like it ended up in an aircraft junkyard in the desert in California.
How shiny would it be if some Browncoat rescued this piece of Firefly history and it could be saved instead of left to rust.

That is a strange find - I wonder if there is any loose filming props inside?
It`s actually the cockpit form a russian `Hind` gunship/helicopter, I always thought they had a much cooler retro look than the US Apache

Ack!
I gotta convince someone to buy it. Lesse, my uncle buys powerwagons and rebuilds them. He's well know in the vehicle graveyard market. He does something at air shows too. Maybe I can get him to take a drive and make an offer. That would be so cool.
It'll never happen.

I just got the same kinda thrill Mal must've got in the last flashback of "Out of Gas."
It may not be Serenity, but that whitewashed hulk looks like she's just resting a bit.
Not quite ready to belong in a junkyard yet. We oughtta rescue her.

I would really hate to see it sit out there in the desert and rust. Maybe I am just being sentimental, but someone who could appreciate it, and knows what it is, should check into rescuing it. If I lived in Cali I would definitely check into it. My wife might give me grief about it sitting in the garage or back yard, but it would be worth it.
Imagine what a cool coversation piece it would be for Firefly shindigs or viewings. For that matter it would be a really shiny play item for the kids, so long as it is properly made safe of course.

Fly it out of there!
What do you mean it doesn't really fly? Firefly's not real?! Oh for the love of god!

I think maybe get Joss involved or cast members - "Save Our Ride", maybe the cast don`t even know about it?
I wonder how much work would be involved in putting it `back together` as in the TV show, looks not too bad from the angle in the photos, although it may be missing something on the otherside etc..

Safe schmafe. Kids need more tetanus shots. They don’t cut themselves on old rusty metal nearly as often as we did when we were kids.

LOL!
