Good find Dan. I figured this was likely too good to be true but I'd rather feel foolish for acting on it rather than be a fool for missing out.

The LVT looks to be in a different environment with all of the vegetation around it. The Panzer Faust rockets sitting on drums and the Atomic bomb casing make you think it has to be a hoax but stranger things have shown up.

This has got to be the best Craigslist ad I have ever seen and it sure is creating a buzz on the Internet.

Veeeedy Intelestink! Your right, looks like somebody's having some fun with this.

So, how long before the advert gets flagged and pulled now? :lol:

Aha!!! I think this is definitely a hoax. Here's a link to the original website for the image (or maybe an original image) - which the poster has apparently used (without permission?) in this post.

And here's the image link:
