41chevy Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 There was one in the US on ebay last week with the trailer.Un armored $45,000.00 opening bid and reserve of $165,000.00 . It's worth it, but need rubber, which will run $900.00 each times 18, and 18 tubes and liners. All done you got a $200,000.00 plus investment.Just one of those things I've been stuck on with since I was a kid and Jacobsons ship yard in Oyster Bay L.I. had one I played on in the mid 50's.

41chevy Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 I think pride followed integrity, common sense, deciency and courtesy when they left in the late 70's.

Im glad you saw the Ebay one, it wasnt an uparmoured one if I remember right.The yard in France has 16 of them! Plus a 1943 Autocar tractor trailer and 6 or 7 GMC 2 1/2 tonners The on on Ebay was unarmored. He's a military vehicle restorer/broker, he mainly sells ex military wreckers and trailers. Ah it's good to have a dream,Things happen though, A former Long Islander bought a WWII Sherman dozer tank for $10.70 in 1975 or 76. It was at the former Pilgrim State Mental Hospital here. Pushed coal around til it broke in the late 60's and the hospital dug a hole and pushed it in. It now live at the American Armor Museum in Virginia.
