I need a Sherman Tank
« on: October 04, 2004, 05:58:45 PM »
Hi all,

We are looking for a M4 series Sherman Tank.  Preferably running, but will take restorable.  If any of you happen to know where you may know of one for sale, or that is questionable, let me know when you can.  It is for a museum.

Thanks

You might able find a M4 Sherman tank at the junkyard, but lol it's really hard to find and most of M4 Sherman tanks could be anywhere in the world.

Good Luck, Bodhi

You need live ammo  for it too? or will just the tank due?

I was just looking at a bunch of very neglected tanks this past weekend.

They were at Base Borden in Ontario. A number of Shermans and assorted tanks from all over the world. The former base commander ordered the hanger where they were all stored torn down and now they are rusting in the rain.

Sad

Me and a couple of friends looked for a T-55 a while back, but after a couple of weeks we figured out that our women would not like it at all so we let it go.

Now im glad we did even if it would have been a nice place to hide from them when we have been naughty :)

very unrealistic for us... a Sherman fits just fine with our ww2 collection though.

Did any other Brits do a double-take at the cockney rhyming slang in the title?
