I don't have pics with me (left the iPad at home) but I managed to negotiate the purchase of a Sherman M4 tank. We were here in my office and when the current owner told me the price, I couldn't shake his hand and call it a "deal" fast enough. My poor wife was trying to keep calm and cool while she was at her desk because I told her that I was interested but never told her that I was for sure on the deal. I promised not to disclose the price but I can tell you that it's about 1/3 to 1/4 of the price that I have seen everywhere else.
This tank is in remarkable condition considering that it has been sitting in a field since 1962. No rust, no rot and the tracks are still in decent condition. I don't know much about Sherman tanks but the owner did point out some cool details on the tank. It was used in the Pacific theater and still has the remnants of the nails that were welded face up on the turret and hatches of the tanks. I guess they were used to keep the Japanese off them.
They will be delivering it Monday morning with a lowboy and crane. I will post pics Monday afternoon!!
