There was a collector in the Palo Alto area who had stashed up three large warehouses full of tanks. The warehouses were open as a museum until recently. He had acquired some of the tanks for just $5000 (time of purchase unknown) from liquidation sale of the former soviet military equipment. Transportation to the US had cost him $50-80K for each tank. Fortunately for you (and unfortunately for everyone else) the collection was going to be liquidated or moved. So if you feel like buying a tank you could get one in the Silicon Valley. http://www.yelp.com/biz/military-vehicle-technology-foundation-portola-valley http://www.yelp.com/biz/military-vehicle-technology-foundati...
