WOW!!! How lucky can you be to find this...? Pristine condition, paint and markings still on. And to top everything off, it was running!!! Pure awesomeness.

I thought there was something familiar about it. Seeing the dog jumping around when the Stug was hosed down reminded me that I saw this video on Youtube last year.

Still cool, thanks.

So how do you follow the restoration today? What is the history here? Seems like there would be enough interest to generate some income to fix this properly? Very cool

Unfortunately I believe this piece of history was left to rot and then cut up for scraps by people who didn't know its true value.
