Another thing that some folks don't consider when buying a large vehicle are license requirements, both for the vehicle and for its driver. Vehicle license laws vary a lot from state to state, as well as how strictly they're interpreted or enforced. Before you buy, make sure you can legally store and drive your vehicle in the location where you plan to keep it. Many states determine vehicle and driver's license requirements, as well as fees, based on vehicle weight.
Of course, most of these laws apply to commercial vehicles, and many states have made new laws to accommodate historical, vintage, or classic vehicles. Most states seem to define a "classic" or "historical" vehicle based on its age. This may be an important thing to consider if you're shopping for one of the newer deuces or 5-ton trucks.
That big gun on the front and the machine guns might be made inoperable, bu the person on the street doesn't know that. Make sure you inform your law enforcement that you plan to take the Sherman out for a drive. If you don't, you might encounter some very forceful interrogation as the result of uniformed public panic.
Military Vehicles Magazine uses a given a value based on a 1-to-6 condition grading scale as follows:. Also, a deteriorated restoration or poor amateur restoration.

Like any collectible vehicle, the price of an HMV is based on a combination of three factors: condition , rarity , and popularity. Rarity is, of course, initially driven by production quantity.
Survivability and accessibility also impacts rarity. The rarity of vehicles in this guide are rated on a scale of 1 through 5, with 1 being the most common and 5 being the scarcest.
Popularity is harder to measure. Basically, if a vehicle was "popular" during its time of service, it will have a strong nostalgic pull with later generations. Jeeps are "popular" because so many soldiers interacted with them. CCKW ponton carriers, while scarce, are not as "popular" because fewer soldiers had direct experience with them. But the single factor that drives price is — and will always be — condition. Not only does condition affect the price of a given vehicle, it also affects its collectibility.
Another factor closely related is the quality of restoration. While this style of collecting is more popular with vehicle enthusiasts overseas than in this country, it is commonplace in other areas of collecting such as furniture.
Often, what some call a "restoration" is actually a "representation," and sadly, sometimes only a " characterization. For a true military vehicle restoration, one must know the history of that particular vehicle. Everything in and on the Sherman is original, with a still excellent running radial engine RC1.
However, the Sherman has been neutralised according to EU regulations. You can find the Sherman tank auction on ebaY here. However, you should definetely check out these great Sherman tank articles first before leaving:. This tank was painted blue for various films in Europe. An accurate price could not be determined on this military tank for sale to civilians. It was most heavily used by Nazi Germany during the years it was produced — but other countries that also utilized this tank were: Poland, Russia, France, Greece, Netherlands, and Tunisia.
Over 20 different versions were creates with uses ranging from infantry combat to medical to transport and more.
It entered service in and became the most-produced tank during the conflict, with over 84, built. It proved quite effective with a mixture of movement capabilities, armor, ruggedness, and weapons.
The T is an excellent illustration of these improvements. The standard 76mm tank gun was proving to be limiting, especially after the Battle of Kursk. Initially, the Soviets wanted to build a new tank T, but the armor was overly heavy, and it had mobility issues.
The new design and turret also provided more space in the tank, allowing for five crew members rather than four. The price is not listed for the T The M24 Light Tank was one of the most efficient and successful tanks ever built…and now its a military tanks for sale to civilians. The M3 and M5 Stuart light tanks that predated the M24 were notoriously under-equipped, so the potent lightweight 75 mm 2. The development of the M22 began in to answer the British military request for a light tank that could be carried by gliders.
Only were built with production ending in The tanks faced many technical problems and did not do well in action. For example, in March , during Operation Varsity, several tanks were damaged upon landing, and a German self-propelled gun destroyed one. Only two of the eight made it to their rendezvous point. By , the British Army labeled them obsolete. The biggest drawback to the tank was its thin armor.
The oscillating turret which now seems oh so common on any tank in combat today, was once just a pipe dream. Over 7, were built between and across 24 variations. Over 4, were built before being succeeded by the Leopard II main battle tank. Better than the M2, oveshadowed by the M4 — the M3 General Lee Battle Tank was a useful, yet underproduced tank that filled a brief need in a brief time window.
These tanks were produced in the late s, right before the M4 burst on the scene. New tactical thinking with how to approach the armed forces in the USA began propping up around
