Extremely desirable World War II U.S. Military M3 Half Track vehicle in good running order with dummy display .50 caliber machine gun on ring mount and two .30 caliber Browning 1919A4 machine guns mounted on either side of cargo compartment. These personnel carriers saw widespread use by U.S. forces during World War II in North Africa, Italy, and then during and after landings at Normandy. CONDITION: Repainted in correct green paint for World War II era with white star markings with high quality Kevlar tracks, good lens covers, original running engine, and intact and operational gauges. Track wheels and rollers in good order. Undercarriage extremely fine with some light surface rust which should clean up well. Underside of rear bumper exhibits some corrosion under the paint but it still very solid and serviceable. Steering wheel has some shrinkage cracks and some missing hard rubber pieces but remains serviceable and is restorable. Transmission cover plate not present as seen in the photos. Diamond pattern floor plate in very good condition. Canvas seat cover of driver's side in good serviceable condition with passenger side showing some splits at the seams with back devoid of canvas and pads. A great find for the World War II military vehicle enthusiast. JWK 18-11-141
