Hi all,

I was contacted by the owner of this vehicle to see if I could find someone that would be interested in purchasing it before it went to scrap.

It is an M250 Cannon Carrier. I dont have much information about it but I know that there were not very many made. I found this link that had some interesting information.

http://www.mil-mod.nl/html/atomcann.html

It should be in a museum somewhere.

Help anyone?

That's the rear drive tractor for the Atomic Annie. The front tractors are harder to find. The cannons are almost impossible to find, at least for sale... ;)

I wonder what that thing is worth? It looks like it is fairly complete and serviceable.

I know he wants 19500.00 for it.

I am trying to talk him into some kind of donation to a museum. I havent talked to him yet but I have a message in his VM.

Aberdeen Museum would have a home for it.

I don't know, Aberdeen alreaday has a restored set, complete with the cannon. It's on display not far from the museum.

Plus, from the news I hear, Aberdeen will, under BRAC, be no more, and the museum is slated to be moved in its entirety to Ft. Lee, VA (or Ft. Eustis, I can't remember).

Some dealers are weird with this stuff. They know what they have and they want top dollar for it. They would rather scrap it than take less than they want for it. They have 2 M108s up there. Price is very steep, will probably be scrapped. I was up there when they were scrapping M715s and M38A1s by the dozen. No doubt they had a mountain of M715 axles 15' high and 40' in diameter. Many of them were paved over with gravel.

Because someone is being a greedy ….. hummmm???

I think the term I am looking for is a compound word... Starts with a CAPITOL "A" and ends with a "e" and is a total of seven characters long... Any takers? :roll:

I saw the exact same ad a few days ago. I was kicking around the idea of posting a thread myself. I never knew such a monster excisted. I was unable to locate a photograph of a complete rig. I only founds models. Does any one have a color photograph of a real cannon carrier?
