That looks an awful lot like something reworked to be a movie prop 'Panther' to me. Never seen a WW2 tank shed it's paint as badly as that vehicle has and wasn't the 'M1XX"' designation the current Abrahms series?

Apart from that, anyone know what the big green thing might be upper right over top of the tank? Looks to be the back end of something wheeled.

It's a scam. If I'm not mistaken, that picture is of the Panther that ended up going to Jaques Littlefield. That photo was taken in the junkyard in Poland (?) of the guy that sold it to Jaques.

If in doubt, ask the "owner" for some detailed photos of the interior or other specific shots.

I lived in Portland Oregon for 50 years and there's not a snowball's chance a panther would have been in someone's backyard without someone locally knowing about it.

Default Panther

I knew it was too good to be true, i just knew.

I was anxious to call my travel agent in the morning , in a hurry to get en route for Oregon.

Does this mean some people lie in their advertisements ? ....

Not even sure it was a real Panther, Road wheels were too small and too many of them.

Matters not now, however. Was just looking at it again and it suddenly dropped off view with a message saying it had been flagged for removal.
