Its the Jagdpanther from the Sinsheim museum. Why wants the museum to sell it? Anyone has further information?

I think it will be sold at some rich collector or an another museum.

I think you can tow it but i dont think it runs under his own power currently. It was a shoothing range hard target and partly restored to be exhibited in a museum. The buyer has to spend half of the price to bring it back to running order.

Most tanks that were put into surpluses have certain parts removed from them to prevent anybody who buys one from firing the main cannon. However it doesn't prevent you from driving them...

That's why some people in America bought Shermans after the war. They were in surplus and most of them had parts like firing pins removed. That way if Americans got angry they couldn't drive a sherman onto the white house and fire. :D

But this lead to sherman rampages where people would hop in the tank and drive through the main roads of their town, crushing everything in their path. Police could do nothing...until the sherman ran outta gas.

Man, it really sucks for it to be used as a practice target. :'(

I recall seeing an advertisement for hiring Shermans to be used as bulldozers, because they were so common after the war, making them cheaper than hiring bulldozers.

A panther chassis was used to mount a crane on it

don't worry, they have sdkfz 9. It somewhat looks like it, but it's a halftrack.

I've seen this jagdpanther, awesome museum in Sinsheim.

They also have a panther with radio controlled tracks and turret. You can control for a minute or two for 2 euro.

Thoroughly recommend it  ;D

Yeah, it is able to salvage tanks from every spot of the map standing in your base :P

I visited the German Tank Museum in Munster, it was just awesome. They even reconstructed the German A7V-WWI tank!
I have a lot of photos, if someone wants me to upload some of KT or JP, just ask.

When I have to associate women with "armour-piercing".. That's the opposite of "Ohhhhhh yeaahhhhh".. Imagine one of those women with dark hair, tattoos all over her body and yeah - lots of piercings - everywhere!!  :-X
