37thguy Posted October 21, 2011 Share #10 Posted October 21, 2011 This belongs to Tom Price in B.G. Ohio. He's about 30 minutes south of me. I remember when this sat by his pond, just a rusty hulk. He really outdid himself on this one. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy . owen Owen, Thank you very much for sharing. That's excellent vehicle. Do you know how many Gators still remain fully serviceable in collectors' hands? Do you know if this specimen you posted took part in the HBO's Pacific miniseries? Best regards Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
