Heads Up: Grizzly for sale

[Ed Storey]

Clive, I think it would take up your whole driveway or could it go on a plinth on the front lawn?

Where is this tank located? The ad is in English, but the photo doesn't look like Quebec to me. The price is USD. (Why does the name Melody Ranch sounds right?)

Does anyone know if Andre has any money leftover after his C15TA restoration?

[Frank v R]

the vehicle is located in Goleta CA, town next to Santa Barbara CA

I believe this is one of a pair that were being offered for sale for the last while. They were some of the ones imported from Portugal and served with a movie company for many years. The price may be a tad high right now with the Littlefield collection about to come onto the market. I suspect that will dry up the available tank dollars for the next while.

It's been on David Uhrig's site for while.

That tank belongs to the Veluzat brothers, Andre and Renaud and is located in Newhall California, and they are indeed the owners of the Melody Ranch motion picture studio where many Hollywood movies, especially westerns were filmed. They sold the sister to that tank early last year, that one was priced at 195k. The brothers have a pretty extensive collection of military hardware, including several ersatz German panzers and US halftracks masquerading as Sdkfz's. The ranch is also home to Hollywood heavyweight Arnold Schwarzenegger's M47 Patton. I recommend anyone traveling through the Santa Clarita area north of LA to pay them a visit, they are great guys and have stories for days about the film business, not to mention the collection of cool military stuff.

Isn't 19,000 miles alot for a tank?! That's like driving across Canada three times LOL. Still would look pretty cool in my garage tho Interesting that it still has the WS19 variometer in place.

Cheers,
