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. |

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”

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 .

USD $480,000 (Reserve Not Met)
That is an impressive show of brass by the seller. This kind of pricing validates one market segment I've mentioned before. There is a French company, www.http://www.balmoralgreen.com that has built rolling, driving Shermans from scrapyard relics and burnt out range hulks using modern automotives. Externally they are Shermans, but internally there is a bus engine, automatic transmission and hydraulic controls. As we see now, the market holds a Sherman's value at half-million dollars, a rejuvenation budget of half a million is a lot of wiggle room. IMHO, that give potential buyers who value driving their tanks more than admiring the 100% originality of the restoration, an opportunity to get into the game.

The M3 comes with years of hard work but at least it has some spades....to dig your own grave

This tank was for sale for the longest time at $275,000, it appears the interior was only resprayed and some of the British bits taken out, someone must have picked it up and is trying to make a lot more money on it, supposedly the reserve was raised during the auction..
