Sorry I did not get a chance to meet you. We have several other events scheduled for the summer, so check out our website and see if there is something that interests you. We are planning a tank battle in late summer! Hope to see you again.
Great pics, guys! We really scored on the stuffed animals and now have enough to send for the next three months! Great job! Thanks to all those who showed up!

You didn't expect to win her over with one sales pitch, did you? Keep trying! I'm sure she will want her M37 in the garage after she spends time working on it and fixing it up! That's when you bring up the subject of a new garage/shop!
Sorry I can't help out, but I would really like to see your MKT! I have seen these on the Quartermaster site and they are nice. I would like to get a better look at some of the equipment, if that's possible. Let me know or send me a PM. Thanks
I was very dissappointed to see the engine work... they should have given this much more attention. Makes you wonder if they rebuilt the engine or if they simply spray-painted it? Any jduge worth his salt would downrate this rig - terrible workmanship. Workmanship, authentic parts, and...
I have been several times. I would recommend it to anyone who has an interest in WWII, vehicles, or history (although, I will admit many of the participants could use a few pointers in history and authenticity). There's lots to see and you will not be bored.
We need more guys like him!!
I came across some rims... the seller claims they are Jeep rims. I don't recognize them (which is to say that they are neither combat rims nor CJ rims). Combat rims are solid all the way around the circumfrence of the rim and have the bolts. These rims (4 of...
This Jeep is 'parade ready.' As a re-enactor, this thing is completely farby! What a joke. If you are going to ask that kind of dough, you had at least try to learn what it is you have there and try to restore it accurately! I don't think you could restore a Ferrari or a Duesenburg and pull...
Several friends just purchased several vehicles at a GL auction - one purchased a M818 for $1500, another got two parts trucks for $700 each, and several others purchased running vehicles for $2500 - $3500. Not bad. I can't believe what's happening with MVs and scrap metal! I think its ironic...

I live in CO so I don't get to coleman's very often. I have frequently wanted to buy things from them, but the shipping costs are a killer! I was wondering... if we purchased items (nothing too outrageous) would you have a place to store them until we could make other transportation or...
I'm glad you saved the truck... Let us know if you closed escrow on this! I see has other stuff in his salvage yard. What's the scoop on other items? Will he sell that too, or is he planning to scrap it also? Can you provide a list?

If you will be in the Denver area June 4-9, the B-17 'Aluminum Overcast' will be here selling rides. It's well worth the trip!

Several years ago, I was able to fly in a C-45 that flew in formation with the B-17 & the HE111. It was amazing! Sadly, the He111 crashed a few years ago and...
Thanks for your reply... here in the states, you can purchase a trailer that can haul 12,000 - 14,000 lbs for approx $4000. Of course, it would not have the covered top to protect the vehicles. I have a three-axle gooseneck trailer capable of towing 20,000 lbs that I have used to haul a WC-63...
I became a vehicle guy becuase I didn't think that there was any way I could ever afford a plane (even if I could, av gas is now more than $6/gal and this would be expensive!). I always wanted to fly, so I got my pilot's license a few years ago. I have been a historian, re-eactor, and...
Don't listen to a truck guy... if you want a Jeep, you have to pay for a Jeep. Sure, you can spend the same amount of money and buy more truck, but its not a Jeep!
Look at it this way... there are very few MVs that any of us can buy, fix, and then sell at a profit. Sure, there are a few and...
