A guy in Douglas Ga bought it back in 2009 or 2010. I'll dig up a few pics and send.

Thanks for the reply, I really would appreciate any pictures you have of it. I wondered what ever happened to that one. Would you mind telling me how you found it, or any interesting details about it and where it came from? I have put together a Dragoon historical time line and that hull is very early, even earlier than mine are. I have been very interested in these vehicles since I got mine in 1998, way too long ago.

If you want a 1 or 2 man turret, reach out to OSMWI in Carrolton GA. Gerald has one or two nice turrets that could work, just not sure of the exact ring diameter.

I only have one CG turret available now as the other two have been sold. It's the one they put on the Commando Scout and is set up for the 20mm.

Wonder if that Dragoon is being built back up?

Last i heard, 10 plus years ago was that it was being built up as a bug out vehicle. I need to reach out to him and see if he finished it.

Hello Steve, Earl here. This came from the Littlefield collection. The owner just dumped it on me about 5 years ago. We are just getting ready to see if she will start. Will need a full restoration. I have done around 6 V100's . I have not been able to locate a serial number of data plate anywhere. It did have AC at one time. It looks pertty much intact. no turret or top hatch. Will need all new vision blocks, sand blast and paint. All hoses, belts etc. I will send some photo's. Customer may want to sell it as he has some health issues but has npt said anything yet. We are just seeing what info I can find and if any parts are available. Regards Earl I am in Texas

Hi Earl, I know that vehicle. I have photos of it at the factory. The manuals I have are for later Dragoon 300's. That one is like mine only pretty much all original, they changed in a lot in 1983 / 84. I do have some parts, I have a couple of air conditioner compressors. I have new vission blocks. Just curious, do you think he would sell it?
