Scout Car and trailer FS: Sold

Post by Alaska M3A1 » Tue May 02, 2017 1:58 pm

1942 M3A1 Scout Car and 1944 Ben Hur style trailer for sale. Both are parade or show ready! This Lot 5 Scout Car (frame number 2563XX) was rebuilt using as many original parts as I could find. The front floorboards, for example, are the original aluminum diamond plate pieces. Other original features include original windshield glass and an unditching roller that really rolls. Where original parts were unavailable, quality reproductions were used such as wiring harnesses for both the Scout Car and trailer from Vintage Wiring of Maine. The sale includes a Hercules JXD engine that was originally in a M8/M20 armored car. It was running when I got it, but now needs new plug wires, distributor cap and a generator. I never found a transmission, but rather than let it sit I put a Ford 300 straight six and a 4 speed transmission in it and have been driving it for over 10 years. All alterations to make the Ford engine/transmission combo work were made to the Ford side of things, so that an original engine/transmission will bolt right in. It will come with the pictured, John Cheney built, M2 replica and a M1917a1 replica, both trollies, an SCR 508 radio set, mast and antenna. The sale includes a wooden 1944 Bantam brand 1 ton trailer. There are additional items too numerous to list, but they include an original saw, full canvas for both, a 36 x 44 cammo net, a switchboard and six field phones and so on. More than enough to set up a very nice display. 40k. The vehicle is located, titled and registered in Michigan. PM or email drkm3a1@gmail.com.

In the event she runs and drives as good as she looks it would be well worth taking out a loan to be the new owner!

The M3A1 Scout Car has the Half Track look in the front with the advantage of tires in the back. The Scout Car will go faster than a Half Track. I love a Half Tracks, but they are limited without a trailer to haul them on, and a big enough truck to pull it with unless one has big bucks for track and bogie wheel replacements. 8)
