This one won't! He's already had some serious offers but he's serious
about not selling it.

Bummer. I'd like that one. Why shouldn't it be sold, if
appropriately deactivated? I think the rule for stuff like that is
that the barrel has to be cut, and/or the receiver disabled. largest collections is with a private collector in the
hills of the
Silicon Valley. I saw a (much) older generation tank on a trailer on the
freeway heading in that general direction last week ;) The guy is
amazing. He has a SCUD launcher, among other pretty amazing machines.

There was a program about people that collect tanks on TV (Discovery
Channel? Amazing mchines?) a few nights ago. They interviewed that guy
along several others. It was VERY interesting!!
