Coronapocalypse Ready: 1978 Custom Built Tank

Okay, if the Chevy Grunt (whatever that means) we posted early today is too wussy for your redneck inner self, then this next vehicle hits all of the right buttons for a gun slinger, tank commander, or urban prepper.  All I can say is; that rotating cannon better be fully functioning. Find this 1978 Custom Built Tank offered for $5500 in Cummings, GA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

A What? 1945 Studebaker M29 Weasel

I can't see Tesla building self driving tanks if we went to war with North Korea, but back during "the war" most of the American industrial machine was turned into a war machine and we created things like the M29 Weasel by Studebaker.  Find this 1945 Studebaker M29 Weasel offered for $5000 in Fayetteville, AR via craigslist. Tip from Ryan.

Tanks a lot: 1942 Cadillac M3A1 Stuart Tank

Unlike the recent wars the U.S. has been involved in, the Second World War was an existential threat to the nation, if not to the world's democracies.  As such, American industry was mobilized to produce war materiel.  You would expect that the auto manufacturers to produce wheeled vehicles, but International Harvester produced infantry rifles (M1 Garrand) Ford produced heavy bombers (B-24 Liberator) and GM produced armored tanks.  Find this 1942 Cadillac M3A1 Stuart Tank for sale at the Normandy Tank Museum Auction in Catz, France for an estimated 80,000 to 140,000 Euro (estimated 90,000 to 157,000 USD).

It's Not A Tank, Dummy: 1939 Volkswagen Kübelwagen Type 82/3 Panzerattrape



Maybe this is why the Germans lost WWII.  While the USA was tooling up M4 Sherman, the British were making the Matilda, and the Russians were building the IS-1, some guys in Germany took the time to build a metal exoskeleton on a Volkswagen Kubelwagon to make it look like a tank.  Looks can be deceiving, and it might make a skittish enemy flee, or fool the advanced guard into thinking you are a bigger force, but a fake tank is not something that will be much fun in place like Stalingrad.  Find this 1939 Volkswagen Kubelwagen Type 82/3 here on eBay bidding for $21,200 in Anaheim, CA with 2 days to go.
