It actually had 10 bids but didn't meet the reserve. If it were me, i'd check the ownership. No too many in private posession and just 'cause ha says he owns it...

Its legit.

Goofy story on how he got it, but DOD or some govt agency made him do the demil as specified in the ad and let him keep it.

Forgot the gentleman's name, but it's been up for sale numerous times and he's got numerous other armored vehicles. Plus the experience has been used in helping others in legally retaining lawfully purchased armor from the govt.

If you look in the classifieds, you will see the asking price.

That guy posts on some armor or gun forum, I have seen his work before (I recognize his shop). He was doing beautiful work on a Sherman or a Stuart a couple of years ago. He started with a real pile and it looked spectacular when he was done.

Well, I missed spelled salw...the W and the E keys are too close for my fat fingers.
I edited the post to correct the spelling...but the title seems to still be salw.

I'd like to know more about this goofy story.
How does one get a running, full functioning M60A3?
...then the Uncle Sam goes, "Oh don't worry about it...just cut here, here and here and we will be good"
I know with my luck, if I owned a M60A3 like that....
....the Federal Marshall would be at my house with a warrant for my arrest, SWAT (with anti-tank weapons) and M-1070 to haul away my toy.

Also, how does one demil reactive armor?
Isn't that just plates of explosives?

Mmmmm...many questions about this MV.
