M-18 Hellcat

The M18 Hellcat was built by Buick in 1944.  We have reason to believe this unit actually saw combat in the Battle of the Bulge and after.  This is the Ferrari of the US WWII tanks and is still the fastest US production tank ever built.  We have 2 Hellcat’s and this is the nicest one of the two, and literally the best of the lot that came over from Europe.  This one was handpicked.  We are working on finishing the C4 Engine, muffler system, a few hoses and the dash.  It will be in mint condition.  If someone would like it battle ready, that can be done.  A lot of extra’s will be included in the sale anyway.

M4 Sherman ( Composite Hull ) Rare, 1 of only 10 known to exist

The M4 was one of the most commonly produced tanks of WWII.  However, this one is rare because it is a composite hull, which means the front is cast and the rear is welded.  As you can see by the pictures.  The tank was produced on 6/1942 at the Chrysler factory in Detroit, MI.  Many people maintain that since there is only approximately 10 of these in existence, it is one of the rarest Sherman’s built, next to the Jumbo Sherman. This M4 has been completely restored inside and out with all original NOS equipment , it starts good , runs good and looks great. come take a ride .

Fully Restored V-100 Armored Commando - built by Cadillac Gauge

This V-100 came from a Police Department. It is licensed and titled in the state of Washington. It is restored to military configuration as of three years ago. Mileage is 5,332. The original Commando Special tires are on it, recapped of course. It has Vic-1 intercom, 524 and 422 radios. Weapons mounts are on right rear, in front of commander hatch (right front) and the turret. The two 30 cal. barrels on turret are held in place with set screws and remove easily for travel. They are Barrels only, no receivers in turret.

Vehicle has 12 volt ignition, distributor, plug wires and spark plugs. All available at Napa Auto Parts. The rest of the electrical is 24 volt as original. Carburetor is a new Holley. Tail lights are new LED style for  better visibility. The top section of side doors have locking pins on hull so they can be locked open for times you are hauling passengers and not worry about them swinging shut on anyone.

The Ironman hull art came from a picture on page 35 of New Vanguard published by Osprey on the V-100. My wife then found a 1968 Ironman comic book and copied it as it was in 1968. The comic book is in the vehicle. The weapons placement is similar to the G1 plate on page 32 of same (New Vanguard) magazine.

The vehicle starts easily, shifts well and has no leaks. Oil and filter were just changed (Napa Filter). Exterior hull paint is excellent and interior paint shows foot wear. Exterior color is semi gloss and extra time was spent preparing the hull so the vehicle would look great with semi gloss paint.
