  • is it me or there are not a lot of restored sherman jumbo's out there

  • I think this may be the only one? I've been told that there are maybe less than 10 left world wide. We hope to have it drivable within a few months. I'll try and post video when we get it running.. DAVE

  • @caddydave there are way more then 10 shermans left waaaaaaay more!!!

  • @foleydeman ,There's fewer than 10 JUMBO Shermans. 254 were made,less than 10 are left. Google "Jumbo Sherman" or M4A3E2 Jumbo Sherman..

  • @JettandJahn This was one of the nastiest tanks in ww2 to drive, lol. Two of the main reasons were; 1: Ammo was stored up half of each side of the tank, then the rest was fuel storage, meaning that unless the sherman was nearly out of ammo and fuel you could expect a nice bon fire if the tank got shot. The second reason was they were petrol engines, meaning if the engine or fuel caught on fire it was going to burn, lol. Not exactly a safe tank. Still it is the most amazing tank ever

  • that is quiet compared to today's tanks

  • Nice job guys !! Keep it going !!! Just did a 1960 Ford MUTT. It "ain't" a Sherman but you have to start someplace !!1 Good luck....

  • i'll buy one dozen.

    pls and thx.

  • Well after a delay in the project, I guess this is part 2 of that rebuild. A tribute to the original crew, the Jumbo is in final stages of restoration and soon will be complete. look at be/drUhB-hsgGQ it shows the restart after a wet storage due to other projects. Thks Dave. Come by and say Hello.

  • @undercoverLsX Not all of them. Ford and Continental and even some GM V8s were also common in Shermans.

  • what a beast

  • Looks like it just came off the showroom floor

  • Big engine aint it ? xD Is this the one that went BOOM when shot ? :D
