I cant believe the superb condition it came out of the mud in. The first 90 seconds is a slow going mud-fest but when you start to see the tracks I bet you are hooked for the next few minutes.
This one is now running.

I love to see old tanks restored...
Ive seen an old t-34 pulled out of the mud before. They are presrved very well in mud and still standing water could water because of the low O2 levels

The sad thing about this is the vehicle was recovered completely intact like a time capsule from over 70 years ago. However after the authorities found out about it the vehicle was taken to a pound and was stripped of most of its parts. The rusting hulk now lies in a scrapyard.

No that is sad...
They should have left it in the mud.

Not sure if this is the same one, but I can't get the above link to work.
Interesting to see real colour, wonder how well that was preserved?
