And who doesn’t want a street legal tank?
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Well you said you were looking to buy a new vehicle.

The miles per gallon is not listed in the ad.
And how much tread is left on those tires?

With 3 kids, I need an APC.

That’d sure make my commute a lot smoother. Pity it’s not a diesel. If it had air conditioning, the Wife would be all for it.

LOL, they’re amazingly small on the inside…and noisy, hot and stinky.
Maintenance is kind of a hassle, too.

Well, cost was no object to the first owner. Still, if you need something for a road block..hard to beat.

Is that … is that an eight slot drink holder?
Love one!

Such a cream-puff!! Me want – but a Deuce and a Half is probably more affordable.
Apparently the hot ticket is to replace the Rolls gas-engine with a Perkins diesel developing 180 hp – but I’m sure something from a Baja Pro-Truck could supply an even better motor and improved suspension. Put some Rancho shocks on that bad-boy and jack it up!!

Damn I wish I was rich.

I have a deuce, and like it a lot. It does not get good mileage, but it will run on about anything.
“Supply Line,” the magazine of the Military Vehicle Preservation Assn., offers a wide selection of tracked and armored vehicles, from Weasels to Centurions (bring money!). I think you’d like the racy little Ferret, or the Alvis Piglet. My favorite ad there was for an Honest John intermediate missile launcher, with the proviso “Note: nuclear warhead not included.” Also of note was the Christmas ad from a Jeep parts supplier for a 106mm recoilless rig: “For the man who has everything for his Jeep — why not a cannon?”
Love that club.

I met a guy in Badaction, Afghanistan a few years back. He had a motor pool full of T34’s and T54’s and he was selling them cheap.
I tried to figure out a way to get them demil-ed, exported from Afghanistan, shipped, and then re-imported. Even at a 20k purchase price, I couldn’t make it work.
If anyone is interested, catch an Airiana flight to Kabul, head north on the main road to Badaction, ask for Kahn. Take cash.

There’s a guy in the Mid-Cities of DFW who owns a Ferret. Drives it to work when the weather is nice sometimes. One of the news stations did a story on him a few months ago.

Well that would certainly make it safer for me when I do the neighborhood watch drive-arounds!

THAT IS NOT A TANK. That is an armored car. Shame on you.
