T16 for sale in Colorado
 

Howdy Gents,
As much as I hate to do this, I am way over my head in other projects. I have an Ex-Swiss U.S. built T16 for sale near Denver Colorado. This was one of the four that came out of Russ Morgans inventory years ago. The Gentleman I bought this project from started it buy having the Engine and Transmission sent out to a pro Ford Flat Head Shop and had the engine completely rebuilt and the tranny gone through. In the tranny they replaced the bearing and several gears. They weren't bad but the owner had extras that were new. The engine is bolted to the Bell housing and tranny and can be test ran is so desired, but as explained, they are redone like new. The only thing wrong that I can see that the shop didn't know any better and painted them red instead of Ford Blue. So far that has been the extent of this restoration. Everything as far as I know seems to be there.
All of the four units that came out of Ft. Collins were known to be farily nice Swiss units. Its time to completely strip the hull of the tracks and all interior controls....blast...prime....paint and reinstall.
The past owner said the only items he knew of that were so bad that they will need to be refabricated, were the control rods that lay right on the bottom as suffered the most rust. The hull still has original "T' numbers visable. I have been soaking all the hardware and fittings with "Kroil" since I have owned the project which has been less than 6-7 months. It was my dream and plan to attack this project and have a wonderful "Carrier"....but I just don't have the time to see it through right now.
The price FOB Sedalia Colorado is $14000 I do have a trailer and could help deliver within 100miles. The tracks are in typical good condition. I have manuals,spare boggies and some parts that only go with the project.
I can take pics....but please only to serious buyers. Looky-loos need not respond. 303-912-2170 MST

Howdy Mr. TiredIron,

It would help if you post you name.
And one or two pictures would be welcome too, they work wonders when you try to sell something.

Thanks & regards,

T-16 For Sale In Belgium
 

While searching on Ebay I came across a T-16 that is for sale in Belgium. It has no top armour on it and had a lot of other modifications done to it. Starting bid is 2,500 Eruo's or buy now for 3,500 Eruo's. It is listed on Ebay.ca Item # 300152066455. Looks like it would be alot of work to get it back to original but if some one really didn't like themselves they could do it.

Eric

Hi Eric,

This T16 was auction on Ebay France not that long ago. If I remember correctly it was for about half of the current starting bid.

Except for wheels & tracks, not a lot of usable parts on this one.

T16 on ebay
 

If anyone is interested and doesn't mind braving the elements and a large Rotweiller in New Hampshire, there is a T16 for sale on ebay (auction 150217563693). Running gear looks to be complete, armour looks to be missing. Last bid was 13 hundred and change. Derek.

Saw that one in Cat Yellow. Almost looks like an International gravel bed being used for the upper body on it. So far it'd be worth the money and then some for good wheels, wheel assemblies and tracks. Not to mention rear end and engine for parts if nothing else.

If the snow inside would last long enough down here in Texas so my kids could play in it with the nice puppy, I might be tempted to go get it :D

Interesting - this is the SECO conversion of the T16 into a load carrier. Note how a US mil spec cargo body has been fitted on top of the cut down hull. This "sword-turned-into-plougshare" could be worthwile to display (at least for a while?), as it tells a interesting tale.

BRENN T-16 CARRIER Item number: 150217563693
BRENN T-16 CARRIER. 1940'S VINTAGE. POWERED BY FORD FLAT HEAD V-8. THIS VEHICLE IS COMPLETE BUT HASN'T BEEN RUN IN YEARS. ENGINE DOES TURN OVER. HAS ORIGINAL KEYS IN IGNITION. SOLD AS IS.

Hello Hanno,
Pardon my ignorance, but what does the term "SECO" mean?
Thanks, David

Its South Eastern Equipment Company in Georgia. This is their web page:

http://www.rockanddirt.com/perl/sell...d=show&id=1633

They imported most of the T-16s that are in North America from the Swiss government and had plans to turn them all into Scat Cats for use as mules in the logging industry.

Thank You David for the information. I'd seen the reference to SECO in the listing of a Stuart tank in Florida on eBay several months ago also, and just wanted to inquire.
Thanks, David

One thing I noticed about this rig is that it seems the conversion didn't buy them much in that the body looks like it came from a 1.5 ton G506, and barely fits the carrier. Not much gain in carrying capacity for the effort.
Thanks, David

SECO imported many AFVs, including Sexton SPGs, M5A1 Stuart tanks, M75 APCs, High Speed Tractors, etc., etc., all slated for conversion for the logging/mining industry. Not sure all their conversions were a success. Perry Kitson, one of our forum members bought a Sexton from them, which he is currently restoring.

Winning one was US $4,210.60 by a Mr. "kubel353".

carrier on milweb
 

Richard I have communicated with the chap and he's loking for offers in the region of £10,000.00. to expensive for me this time! cheers malcolm :salute:

Mal, did you have any joy with Clive ? or had that one gone ?

on my limited experience i would say 10k was a fair price bearing in mind has the track all the linkages dash pannel and v8 plus the hull is in good state too. not a bad T16.......trouble is i have my Mk1 now :) and Ken did not drive T16's :D

That T-16 had sold within a few hours of it being on Milweb.

T16's tend to be worth approximately 25% less than Universals because they are less desirable to collectors.

A good restored 100% complete Universal in the UK at the moment I would currently value at approximately £15,000 to £20,000. Note the complete bit as there are lots of vehicles out there missing most of their internal stowage.

I think you would be luckly to get £15,000 for a mint T16 at the moment. Having said that there are lots of silly people out there.

carrier on milweb
 

had a note back from the chap saying its sold to grandson of carrier driver....is that you Richard!cheers malcolm :thup2:

No buddy, but I bet its Shaun Hindle though, as his grandad was in the same platoon as mine, and he is a carrier nut too !

Oh my, lots of Carriers turning up at Milweb recently; here´s another T16. Or could it be the same as the first one in this thread?
