Hi Shon:
I have a 1942 M2A1 White halftrack that I purchased about 2 years ago. I
bought this one without ever seeing it from a fellow named Marvin Mofield
in Tennesse. Before I purchased, I checked out Marvin's reputation with
everyone that I could contact that I thought might know him. It turned out
many of the people I contacted knew of Marvin because of his work with
MV's. I was treated fairly, got what was expected and am very happy when
my "track" arrived. I had made arrangements with a local freight hauler to
transport the vehicle at their convience which saved me bundles of dollars
but did take about 6 months to get. I have repaired most of the items that
needed fixing including a brake job (no fun). I have also added a couple
of dummy Browning 1919A4 machine guns and have a 50 cal. Browning dummy on
order from Lee Hutchins in California. There seem to be good sources for
halftrack parts all across the U.S. I purchase most of my parts from Rod
Shaver in Arizona and am very happy with his prices and parts. I have also
found used and NOS parts in some of the strangest places and quite close to
home, including a new pair of tracks that I got real cheap and only had to
drive 200 miles to get. There seem to be quite a few halftracks available
for sale. Check out Military Vehicle magazine for a good selection. Yes,
they can be expensive, depending what shape and what acc's are on them.
There seem to also be some pretty good deals on some of the one's I have
seen advertised, but you would want to check them out to make sure tracks,
suspension and bogies are good and that all armour is complete.
