Hi Folks!

While this vehicle is not armored, it is an ex-1st AD vehicle from Germany and it is a full tracked vehicle! If I lived some were with a lot of snow,
I would have get one of these. The serial number is: 88-AFL 5656. Sadly is it not running and the inside of both cabs have been trashed. It showed up that way.

How many of you looked because you didn't know what a M973 was?
