What kind of M60 is this?
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Probably not on the register, was in private hands up here. Now in CA I think, but not at Littlefield's. _________________ Dave C MVPA, MVCCO Portland OR

I believe that's an A3 with the 4th generation hull. Joe D. will see stuff I'm overlooking at first glance, though. _________________ "All facts go to clearly prove that Shades is a thrice-cursed traitor & mentally deranged person steeped in inveterate enmity toward mankind"

M60A1. When were these pics taken? Do the bottom set of numbers on the stowage bins read "21405"? If so, Joe Garbarino in San Rafael has it. _________________ Chris "toadman" Hughes www.toadmanstankpictures.com www.cafepress.com/toad...ksandstuff

Former USMC M60A1, By the looks a 7000 series. Marine A1's had the same opening on the left rear turret as the A3's did for a wind sensor. They could mount an antenna base on theirs which requires 4 bolts. A3 turrets would have a three bolt opening. One way to tell between the two when the wind sensor is removed. _________________ Joe_D

Went back and looked through my pics. Yes, the numbers match. Joe G must be its owner now. He is lucky. That was one sweet machine with an absolute TON of spares. The former owner was quite notorious for getting ahold of those "how in the world did you ever get that?" kinda vehicles. _________________ Dave C MVPA, MVCCO Portland OR
