M75 is finally home !!!!!!!!
Well guys, the infamous Save me from the torch M75 in Montana is finally safe and doing well at it's new home in South Dakota. She will be kept company with 26 other MVs at Kluthe Army Depot. This was a very long drawn out process with tons of minor problems that kept wreaking havoc with my well laid plans, but it all came to an end when the APC was delivered today. The trucker was great and the APC is in pretty decent shape. There are a ton of demil marks to weld up and the whole thing will get a full restoration. Unfortunately with all the other vehicle projects and working on my new storage facility, it probably won't be started for another 2 years. At least it's safe and sound though. Here are some pics of the delivery and the new proud owner.

It went to Belgium after the US Army was done with it. Somehow it was re-imported into the US to Arizona, from there it was bought by a sawmill in MT, bought by the torch guy in MT from the sawmill, then Jwaller bought it, then I bought it from him and shipped it to SD. Its been a few places already, lol.

congrats. I knew you could do it. looks much better in your pics than it did his. get some welding done to seal her up. if you find thigns you need I suggest you get them now. esp if you need big parts. I know roy at seco still has 2 but is rapidly cutting and sending them to scrap.
