M5A1 Stuart Tank
Up for sale is my M5A1 Stuart tank, parade ready, running and driving.
Tank is in great shape having been sandblasted and painted with Dupont Imron. Not all stock or original and the price reflects that. Currently it is running a single 454 Chevrolet engine coupled to a well built 2spd Powerglide running via brand new heavy duty driveshaft into M3 Stuart trans/differential. Both original Cadillac flatheads are included with the sale along with an original fuel tank and original radiators. Right now the tank has a giant radiator from an AVGP Cougar LAV. It was built to start on the button and run all day long even in 120 degree heat. No modifications were made to the hull and we mounted the new drive train by fabricating cradles that used original holes on the hull floor. Currently I am in the process of finishing the turret basket and out fitting the turret with the original hydraulic power traverse. Turret sits on all brand new bearings. Gun is a CNC machined copy with CNC machined Breech ring and block. Tracks are in excellent shape as are road wheels, suspension has all new bearings and seals. I have 90% of the original stowage and quite a few spare parts and accessories that will go with the tank. Tank is priced at $125k USD. Will assist with export and will ship worldwide. Please send serious inquiries via email. IMG_20161111_072504.jpg IMG_20161111_091301_hdr.jpg IMG_20170818_175725.jpg IMG_20170818_175656.jpg 11November M5A1Stuart Canada.jpg

John, it really looks the part! This could be a great entry into the "world of tanks" for a collector. Use it and meanwhile rebuild the original engines.
