WOW! That's one really nice looking tank! I'm guessing your assistant has fun driving it to work and getting the parking spot she wants every time................ Smile, wink and then mow down the competition, eh? BTW, Just so I don't try to compete using my little Deuce, could you pretty please put your city and state in the signature box located in the control panel? Thanks! I really want to keep my baby in one piece too. No squishing my Deuce. But I'll race ya!

it wasnt meant to be a white wall but someone got the bright idea to go ahead and put turtle wax on the rubber to bring out the black not realizing it would get stuck in the cracks in the rubber..it will wear away in time....as for selling it..it is not mine..it belongs to a museum.

Let me ask an armor-related question. What's the purpose of the three large and one small round tubes mounted at the base of the turret and are angled forward and upward?

Okay, hang onto your seats, as my late grandfather wouldn't want me to pass up this opportunity... Tanks for your response!

opie,

well actually there are four of those tubes on each side of the turret, they are the smoke grenade launchers but were rarely used becuase they blew up easy when hit by small arms fire and would blow the turret right off the tank, so they werent used.

Very cool tank, oifvet! Are there any in civilian hands...non-museum? What about M113s? I've run across a few of the old gassers, and I heard there was a guy in Canada with an M113A1.

ing these off the coast of new jersey for artificial reefs..we dont have any 113's at our museum but are looking for one to go with the sheridan becuase we were told they worked hand in hand in vietnam. [:)]
