i dont know of any up that way. one good way to find them is to do a google search with your state name and the word halftrack also include -hobby -diecast -scale -rc -german -general
this will weed out toy manufacturers and model builders. you may find other people in your area with them and they may be the best source for purchase. the closer the better

Post by: spec4don on March 12, 2011, 09:34:40 PM: It didn't look too bad. The cab interior was in excellent shape. The engine was free. I believe it was a roller model turned into a winch track. I didn't buy it but it is off the market. The guy had a ton of old Caterpillers. I wish I had cash I'd of bought one of the military D-7's he had or the D-4.
