Hefner has nothing on this guy....except it isn't luck. It is hard work, vision and dogged determination. I admire his accomplishment.

That is an unbelievable find. To find such a large cache, especially in tact and not on some test-firing range is remarkable.

Most tanks are found mangled to bits, but wow, those are in great condition.

Simply unbelievable. It's a fantastic find and a huge success for those of us who love to see these vehicles salvaged and restored. My hat's off to this gentleman, and I wish him every success! It's a tale that I will remember.
By the way, I've already been told NO! by the wife so someone else can still buy the one I was going to.

What a fantastic article - a real find in Brasil! I wish I had the resources to do this type of work instead of slaving over a hot oven all day (and night!)
