Tank? M26 Pershing

its a small pic and this is the only one he had. i have a chance to purchase but i would like to know what it is b4 i go there. thanks, rob

Judging by the exhaust and mantlet, it looks like an M26 Pershing. I couldn't open the pic, it was truly tiny!

If the exhaust was on the sidesi t would be an M46 or M47. Just what I interpret from the tiny pic...

let us know if you don't buy - an M26 for sale is a rare thing, indeed!

I agree with Adamlee,looks like a M26 Pershing medium tank.

That exact picture is the M26 Pershing currently located at the Fort Snelling Military Museum in Minnesota. Sending a PM.....

[rtjraleigh]

thanks dittle. craigslist scammers. this one actually emails back. probibly rounds up deposits and then splits. said it was in NC. thats why i cam here first. thanks again.

Not a problem. Let me know if you have any more questions about it. My bet is a scam but if you want I can ask the museum director if he has heard anything about this leaving our inventory.

poor rob lol . I knew I saw that tank on a former post on SS .

How much was the gentelman in Nigeria or South Africa asking for it lol.

BTW - If you cant talk to the guy on the phone , that should send up the first red flag of many

 

[dittle]

It looks like its trashed so scammers think they can get away with it. The red is actually a primer that we've sprayed it with. The tank is in very good shape actually. Better than some things that I've seen restored before.

oh yeah, said it was his brothers and its been there along time. hell, i couldnt afford that anyways. if i cant drive it then its worthless anyways. i think i had too much turkey and my brain wasnt workn right. allright now lets let this thread die.

This may well be one of the stupidist scammers of all time. If we only knew who to contact, this ol'boy is trying to sell property of the Federal Government, I'd suspect that carries a pretty hefty penalty.
