Sounds like one heck of a deal on the Stuart! Any idea what that extra bracket is on the side of the cowl right above the gas can holder?

that was a change for the korean war. it stored pick ax heads.

I called the auctioneer up and actually considered bidding but I have so many projects going on right now I actually had to use some common sense and walk away :o
I told me wife what the Stuart sold for and of course it's the ONE TIME she couldn't believe I didn't buy it :'(

I guess it's a good thing I didn't know about the auction as my wife would have killed me when I bought the stuart! With 2 kids going to be in college this fall she is real cranky about me spending money on toys.

That would look great parked next to the halftrack in a garage. 8)
Wow looks like there was a lot of nice parts and pieces also.

Anyone know how complete the Stuart was? Looked to be fairly complete if unrestored.

The Stuart was pretty rough inside. but restorable! The half track was in good shape but the data plate listed it as an M2. But it was a repro plate. It was defiantly an M3. Doc, it actually wasn't an auction, it was a sale. They let people in by number, it was kinda weird. We got there at 0300 hours to get in line. I was number 14. Guy #1 was a buyers agent, and got there at Midnight. They went down the list and offered the vehicles sight unseen at listed price. The first guy bought three of the vehicles right out of the gate. The carry all went a little later. That being said there was lots of parts. I cashed out 3 times and everytime I went back in I found something else as people moved stuff around. I did get a complete wiring harness for a song. Paid for my trip. Did run in to some other halftrack guys too from the Seattle area. So that was a plus. Very happy with what I found!
