potentially a fairly easy resto there hull has all the right bits, the center bulkhead is still complete and the front armour is there.... the other bits of armour i found are quite easy to do.

good luck with the sale buddy.

MY GOD WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE???

just had a person contact me and wanted to know if i would take 500.00 for the carrier. told me he saw them all over the place only 10 years ago for that price.

had another wanted a fully restored ready to use and show vehicle (must run, must be 100% present), and he could spend up to 6,000.00 but i would have to ship it 1200 miles.

another wanted just the front armor for 100.00

i hate E-bay

Dave:
If you are parting it out, I'll give you $50 for the tracks, but they must be delivered to the Canadian border at Dunseith ND. Now you may quibble at that price now, but that is in Cdn $. I have no doubt that our dollar will soon be worth considerably more than the US peso in the future.

LOL
so you were the guy that called me

any way it looks like the carrier may be going to the east coast, i keep finding parts for it in the shed so it will be a easy rebuild. many of the parts were already taken apart and sand blasted and painted.

from some of the e-mails it seems that people are out hunting for crazy deals and not seeing that armor is going through the roof in price.

for what it's worth i thought your asking price was very reasonable and if i hadn't already bought my carrier a few months back from midwest military i would have jumped at yours.

good luck with the sale

no problem.
i was kind of testing the waters and clearing my consious too. i have had about 10 people call and ask if i knew where a carrier was. i didnt even think of the one out at the farm. but after putting it up and seeing some of the people wanting nearly a rebuilt carrier for the 2-4000.00 price range i feel good again. if everything goes right it will be going to a member in NC here in the US. if not it will stay out at the battlefield as a static display till i can spend some time with her.
