1943 WW II  M3-A1 Scout Car.

This is a very unusual Scout Car find in that it's an un-molested un-restored original , Serial No. 267510 and USA 6089405 it was surplussed from Pueblo Ord Depot in 1950. It is Amazingly original with what looks to be one coat of original #319 paint and most of the original No's and markings showing. The Armor is all original except for the upper door flaps but as you can see they have been replaced with 2 from another M3A1. As to the Items that are shown to be missing the owner has the Original Roller that had been removed and has acquired the Frame horns and accessories for mounting , He also  has 4 NOS Rear seats and a good quality re-pro Skate Rail and Trolley, It runs and was driven on the trailer to bring it home , It has NO rust and has been stored inside for the last several years. The fuel gauges and sending unit on at least one tank still work. This vehicle is almost to good to restore it would probably be worth more to some collectors as is with just putting back missing parts and and tuning it up.

                                               1951 M75 TRACKED INFANTRY CARRIER

As "the father" of modern APCs, this carefully restored T18E1/M75 fully tracked infantry carrier will be a unique addition to any military vehicle collection. It was developed for the Army in 1951, built by both FMC and International Harvester. It went into production after acceptance as the M75 armored personnel carrier. This vehicle is the 7th one made by FMC, and has all the correct early production features (later production vehicles were stripped of higher-end features and machining in order to cut costs). The T18E1/M75 series was the first fully enclosed, fully tracked armored personnel carrier made--it was the precursor to all modern day APCs. These vehicles were first used in combat in Korea, where they were a vital asset in the battle of Pork Chop Hill. The extensive use of these vehicles is documented in the definitive book on the Korean conflict, On Hallowed Ground, by Bill McWilliams. The M75's success at Porkchop Hill spawned the development of similar vehicles in the years following the war, including today’s Bradley Fighting Vehicle.
 
Of the remaining examples of this vehicle left in the world, this is one of fewer than 6 known that have been restored to running condition. The complete, historically accurate, restoration included a great deal of careful research, and spanned more than 5 years. The impeccable condition of this vehicle was recognized when it received the 1st Place award in the "Restored Class" category at the Military Vehicle Preservation Association National Convention. Also documented in International Military Machines Magazine (I've included photos of the article), this vehicle is unique in that it is the only M75 known to exist that is running on the original factory production engine and power plant--it is considered to be the most original and finest M75 existing today.

All equipment, gauges, lights, etc are fully operational, and the vehicle includes all of the correct equipment.
Examples include, but are not limited to:

 

  • All original manuals and checklists
  • Fully operational infra-red night vision system (the first of its type put into a vehicle)
  • Full pioneer kit
  • Tow cable
  • Crew tools
  • Clear (not fogged) periscopes
  • Fully functioning GRC-8 1950s-era tube military radio and intercom system
  • Dummy 50 cal. machine gun
     
  • 3.5” dummy rocket launcher with inert ammo.
  • Mine detector kit
  • Rifle rack designed for M1-Garand or M1-Carbine rifles, total capacity of 8 (rifles NOT included)
     
  • Fragmentation grenade boxes with inert grenades
  • Smoke grenade boxes with inert smoke grenades
  • Signal flags
  • Antenna bag
  • Track jacks
  • Tanker bar
  • Tow cable
  • Sledge hammer
  • First-aid kit

WW2 CMP Ford Scout Car Mk I “Lynx”.

Produced by Ford in Windsor Ontario in WW2 (3255 units produced). Derived from the successful Daimler Dingo scout car, the Ford Lynx was made in two variants Mk I and Mk II, and had 30mm Armor in the front, with 12mm in the sides and rear. This vehicle is only one of 5 complete known survivors in Australia 

Hull off restoration in 2000, all armor is original to the vehicle and has not been rebuilt. Current engine is not the correct engine for this vehicle. The conversion was done to a very high standard and no modification to engine mounts or hull resulted. Therefore it would present no problem to a mechanically adept person to rectify.

M-18 Hellcat

The M18 Hellcat was built by Buick in 1944.  We have reason to believe this unit actually saw combat in the Battle of the Bulge and after.  This is the Ferrari of the US WWII tanks and is still the fastest US production tank ever built.  We have 2 Hellcat’s and this is the nicest one of the two, and literally the best of the lot that came over from Europe.  This one was handpicked.  We are working on finishing the C4 Engine, muffler system, a few hoses and the dash.  It will be in mint condition.  If someone would like it battle ready, that can be done.  A lot of extra’s will be included in the sale anyway.

M4 Sherman ( Composite Hull ) Rare, 1 of only 10 known to exist

The M4 was one of the most commonly produced tanks of WWII.  However, this one is rare because it is a composite hull, which means the front is cast and the rear is welded.  As you can see by the pictures.  The tank was produced on 6/1942 at the Chrysler factory in Detroit, MI.  Many people maintain that since there is only approximately 10 of these in existence, it is one of the rarest Sherman’s built, next to the Jumbo Sherman. This M4 has been completely restored inside and out with all original NOS equipment , it starts good , runs good and looks great. come take a ride .
