My house...the tank...my house...the tank. Tough call, better ask the wife.

I note the ad doesn't once mention Canadian. There is reference to it in the comments and they concede it is a good thing but it's almost like the auction didn't want that fact to be well known.

You'd have to sell a kidney too, maybe? Bidding has gone up from $250,000 to $325,000 and there are still 10 days to go.

Indeed in the main text only hints like "Like its prototype, the production M4A1, including the Grizzly variant, featured a cast, single-piece upper hull welded to an armor-plated lower hull" and "the seller reports that the white serial numbers are not original." But the side bar lists "Cast-Hull M4A1 Medium Tank. Canadian-Built Variant of the Sherman".

Edited to add: I have been informed the description was changed, so your initial comment was correct. The main text now states: “This M4A1 Grizzly is an adaptation of the Sherman medium tank that was built in Canada in late 1943”

I think that one has been for sale for years for $275k. I was hoping i could swing it but no.

If you look at the video , the driver is revving up the engine to change gears , hmm that is just asking for difficult gear changing .

Like quite a few rebuilt Grizzlies delivered to Portugal after WW2, this one has the Sexton heavy duty bogie housings - note the deeper strenghtening ribs on the outside.
