Patrick Tipton Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Folks: There is an M29C for sale in Northern California for $5500. It is missing the rear tank, the windshield and maybe some covers. It has one WW2 era 20" track and one later 20" track. Overall, doesn't look too bad. The seller has it listed on FB - I have his number and more pictures if you are interested: PM me and I will put you in touch - I have no affiliation, just an obsession.

Patrick Tipton Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 @Conner BushYes it sold. Are you in the market? If so, project vs running machine and where are you located. I know of several for sale. Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Bush Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I am most definitely in the market. I’d definitely prefer a project for me and my grandpa, probably in the $5K range. I live in Iowa but I’m not against some traveling. I’d prefer some with float tanks if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04mustang Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 @Conner Bush that's most likely doable, except for the float tanks. Those are normally over 5k alone in a needs to be restored condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Bush Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Do you know if they are hard to make on your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conner Bush Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 @Patrick Tipton Do you know if there are any available in my area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZM29C Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 @Conner Bush@Patrick Tipton Conner, if you decide to restore an M29C fitted with floatation gear I would highly recommend putting the hard yards in to purchase a weasel with as much of the float gear fitted to it as possible no matter what the condition. That way you have the option to either pattern or repair these unique parts. Anything Amphibious = $$$$$$. For a vehicle that was destined for a short service life the float tanks are an engineering marvel. Facsimile tanks unless done properly do look out of place as in the photo below. Having said that I would study and compare photos of M29C's with their floatation gear fitted and M29C's with their float gear removed. There are a myriad of small hard to find parts and panels needed for a full amphibious restoration. Good luck with your search. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tipton Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 @Conner BushAs John @OZM29C points outs...it gets expensive quick if you have to find all the little parts. I know of an unrestored M29C in Michigan..not close, but not terribly far. The guy is trying to sell a semi-restored one without tanks plus the unrestored one for $13k. I haven't seen them, but I do have pictures. PM me if you are interested and I will send you pictures and can put you in touch.
