Military Vehicle Auction

Anybody on the market for a slightly used SCUD missile launcher? :D
Seriously some of these are surprisingly affordable.

I'd love to get a working tank. It would be useful in salary negotiations with my boss.

Realistically tracks are a maintenance nightmare and you'd never get it titled to operate on a public road. Something like this, however, I guarantee PA would let me slap an antique plate on and drive around.

The Jagdpanzer Kanone would be cool, but a WWII vet would be better than a '50s version.

If I had stupid money, the Israeli M50 Sherman would be an awesome toy. The main gun is basically a French copy of the WWII Panther's 75L70.

Love to have the Flak 88, but then I'd want the SdKfz 7 to tow it with.

And the Patton. And the 76mm Sherman. And the Panzer Mk. IVh, although at that price it makes the Leopard look like a steal. Basically I want ALL the tanks.

The only thing they don't have is my dream commuter vehicle: The SdKfz 231 "8-rad". Nothing like eight wheel drive, armor, a 20mm autocannon, and a 50 mph + road speed to make your commute a pleasure instead of a chore. :twisted:

There's a guy in the greater Seattle area who occasionally takes his Ferret armored car out onto I-5 and I-405 for a spin.

I have my heart set on buying an M35A2. For the price of putting a decent lift on the Wrangler I can have a 5 ton truck with six wheel drive and 40" tires that will burn anything from JP9 to used motor oil for fuel.
