Nah ... the 75mm has been demil’d, the .50BMG turret is a propane operated replica and the forward .30cal is a dummy barrel only. For that amount I want EVERYTHING just in case ... 😈

Shwarzeneger has the M47 that he drove in the Austrian army. Last I heard it was parked at a studio prop rental biz near where I used to live. My wife toured the place and got a picture of it for me.

Before we go in on this, have we added up the kitty & covered the cost of the P-rat ship and the F4 corsair?

Don't wanna get in over our heads, now...

Group buy!

I love that movie!

The Bill of Sale is a non-starter for me.

My grandfather drove an M4 Sherman in WW II. They named it “Plenty Tough”. The most inadequate tank of the war! We just had a gazillion of them! Under powered, under gunned, under armored and they didn’t float worth a crap! We gave a bunch of these things to the Russians and the Brits!

Disagree. Easy to build and maintenance, just wide enough for our rail to move from middle USA to ports. Sling points to go on ships and used through the globe. Main 75mm useful for its main job of destroying targets. 3" gun available for AT role but planners left them in Britain during D Day. 105mm version fielded as an assault gun. Diesel engine version fielded to Russia. Survivable when hit, egress easy for crewmen.

The ratio of HE to AP fired by Sherman tanks in WW2 was heavily weighted to the HE rounds. Tank v. Tank combat wasn't rare but wasn't the main use of our tanks in WW2.

My new driveway will support it. Buuuttt... I won't live past my wife finding out. Can't really hide something like that.

Watch James Garner's "Tank" for ways to hide it

I'm sure, but I'm concentrating (stopping) that I can't hide it so I don't get into the "How the F do I pay for it" thinking...

My 2 cents.

Probably the best overall tank in WWII, but I’ll wait for the M4A3E8.

I told my wife we need this..badly! She said one word...deeeevorce! Hehe

IT WON'T FIT IN THE DAMN SAFE.

 

[RFMan]

Hmm, armored garage... It'll fit in THAT safe...

 

[Pack72]

Don't bid! It was made in Canada!!

Eh, I can look past that. But no AC or Cruise? PASSSSS

Very cool piece, a piece of world history.
