Well , not really, although it's pretty darn close.
A guy not too far from me always has a ton of jeeps outside, recently I found out that he's a military vehicle dealer and regularly has a ton of cool stuff for sale. This time he's offering Cheiftan tanks that have been configured to look like m1s for use in movies and stuff.    So , my question is who wants to do a group buy? |

I'm down if it's in running condition? we can park it outside a polling station during the 2012 Elections and surely we won't have any issues, afterall, what's good for the Black Panthers is good for?

Quoted: Still with functional armor plates ? I don't think there's an armor demill requirement, only a demill requirement relating to the main cannon (as it's a DD and in some cases imported). This specific guy HAS sold tanks with functional main guns, one that I salivated over was a m113 APC w/ a bushmaster 20mm chain gun (that was registered and G2G). I'm down if it's in running condition? we can park it outside a polling station during the 2012 Elections and surely we won't have any issues, afterall, what's good for the Black Panthers is good for? He always notes if it's non-functional, and he states clearly they're 100% in working order. Although i'm betting the main gun has been demilled. |

That's a cheiftain underneath all of that.
Run away! There's a reason Fv432 fitters followed them around like vultures... The leyland diesel wasn't the best thought out engine. What's underneath the tacked on plate.

Quoted: can you register the gun? In this case it's a cheiftian tank which was imported from the UK , if it was prior to 69 (I think) it may have a registered main gun. You technically I guess could re-build one from a demill status if you needed, although it's quite likely it's a propane cannon. |

I'd be really interested to see a -113 with a 20mm, especially if it was a retrofit of a turret from a -114. Also, can the Chieftains be converted back to Chieftains? |

The Chieftain is a very large tank and almost impossible to transport b/c it is over the acceptable road going cargo widths. You have to have special permits to transport them for every county you cross. If you look hard enough you will find some for sale in the $30-40K range. I wouldn't buy one though.

I see T-55's and T-72's around for about the same price, which would probably be a better deal since parts are going to be alot cheaper on a combloc tank.

The guys selling this M1Abrams clone do have the necessary permits to drive through every state coast to coast so they could get it to you but then once you get it your on your own. This would be great if you owned a lot of land and were planning on just driving it around on it but yea shipping it to an event can cost $6k+ and up just one way... |
