Re: One of the Buffalo 7 makes it home (LVT4)
Here are a couple of links to articles about the program...

I have been talking with Dale off and on and we are trying to round up pictures and some video to try and come up with a proper historical record of all this

And now it's on sale on E-bay. What happened?

Re: One of the Buffalo 7 makes it home (LVT4)
That one on ebay is one of three that were modded by the City of Buffalo in the early 60's all the same - I still have mine safe and sound; under cover - still collecting parts...
Obviously one I have - the second is on ebay - and the third is in Texas waiting to be restored at Mullins (then rumor has it is Hawaii bound)
It's somewhat confusing since they all wear the same distinctive color but there are significant differences in condition if you really look...

Re: One of the Buffalo 7 makes it home (LVT4)
Greetings Bryan - glad to hear from you - I am still interested; as usual I've got all the irons in the fire
I am off to Dutch Harbor, AK again this weekend but hopefully it'll just be a short trip
I will give you a ring again when I get back to the lower 48
Best regards
Matt

Actually did some work on the beastie - got the welded on plates cut off the vision block holes and opened up the ball mount flange as well...
