I've noticed these two cars for sale on Ozark lately and have been wondering of what heritage are they? They look kinda like some of the LIRR cars that were being sold off a long time ago.

They most likely are former LIRR passenger cars. Based on the paint scheme and modifications made they appear to be from the Stone Mountain Railroad in Georgia.

Indeed, 1871 and 1868 are former SMPX now being sold (as best I can tell) FOB Americus, GA after being stored on the HOG.
