Description
I forgot to post this. I came across an Easy Eight just chillin in the woods. Almost no damage, minus the roughly 6 small penetrating hits it took. It seemed to only be a range target for a little bit before the range moved. The M103 down the hill wasnt so lucky.Related content

Some fresh gas, oil and spark plugs and take it for a ride down the freeway.
They were made like timexΒ watches, take a licking and keep on ticking.

Wow. Good lord.
If I were you, I'd spruce it up and see if a museum or something.
If not or option two, you can just keep it. Maybe drive it to White Castle and record the reactions.
*yes, a shot towards FPSRussia...*Β

We got in contact with Panzer Fabrik and gave them all the details on its location. Ft AP Hill wont let them recover it because it was used as a target 50 years ago. Though its no where near a live range.

......................that makes no bloody sense. There anything you can do about it or is it just forced to sit there and rust until someone finally gives in?

Army logic. when theyre ready theyll scrap it.

With the way your talkin' it seems like all that'll be left is a few chunks of brittle steel coated in little more than rust and moss...

thats what it sounds like their plan is. hopefully someone realizes the historical significance of this vehicle. i was all around and inside her. Shes completely intact, save for a few missing parts. Its impossible to find a tank this old in such shape.

Why not go there and argue about it? Bring up these points may get someone's attention and at a minimal you can say you did all you could [within reason...]

I dont have the money. Its on a military base so all you need is to get permission from the base commander and get a truck out there. Its right along a road so it wouldn't be hard to pull out.
