No idea on the tank value. Put a reserve on it and toss it on ebay and see what happens. I'm more interested in the garden statue in the background. Is that a Hispanic gentleman with a poncho and sombrero pulling a burro? If so, wow! Those are almost as rare as yard jockey statues. |

I am quite shocked sombody didnt have an answer for you on here. Those kinda tanks used to fetch about 2K a few years ago, but the whole warbird market is in the biggest slump in history and prices are falling faster than a Zero, especially the most expensive ones like P-51 and F4U? yeah, i don't know whats going on. not much interest. who wouldn't want this awesome piece of history!? Don't you want it? |

The problem is the nose is punched in and in order to repair it you'll have to cut the tank open to make the repair then re-weld, a bunch of work! Next, whats the condition of the rest of the tank, dents, corrosion, etc. Regards, John Lane |

I would like to have it the way it is now but if it would look nice restored but it would be a project but it would be fun |

If you want to fix the dent without cutting it apart, you could always do what the autobody guys do. Strip some paint, use a stud gun to weld on some studs, attach a slide hammer, and pull the dent out. Much less work than halving it. Of course, i`m not an expert, so i could be way wrong. Just food for thought. |
