so I'm in the middle of the desert in
search of a tank for the shop slot
apparently there's an authentic Sherman
tank for sale that was used get this and
you achieve at during World War two it
doesn't get much better than that
it's going to be an explosive day so are
we close
that's it right there that's the Sherman
Wow all right we're here
look at that tank hey that is amazing to
think the guys are looking at right now
is an m4a3 sherman what makes this tank
special it's the only German tank in
private hands that was actually used in
the Pacific Theater real Marines jumped
into during a wajima and now they can
relive that history as well this is
incredible so this thing actually saw
action at Iwo Jima this one did it did
see action it was knocked out three
times in the first 24 hours it was
finally taken out of service when they
hit the turret at the turret bearing and
we met the gentleman who had to back it
out he's still alive today look at I
just find it incredible because I mean
it's from Iwo Jima I mean it's like when
they raised a flag on Mount Suribachi I
mean it's probably the most iconic photo
of all of World War two how would you
offer this thing um I'm looking to get a
million and a half okay but we get to
drive it you can drive and you can shoot
it it's pretty damn cool
um you give you a call Corey Chum come
down here he doesn't want he's not gonna
want to miss this okay all right and you
like point it into a direction so I'm in
a straight line
the guy's asking 1.5 million dollars and
that kind of money I'm thinking about it
but before I do anything I'm gonna have
to drive it and I'm gonna have to fire
it okay here we go

World War two tanks are always going to
have an iconic place in a collector's
minds and when thinking about World War
two tanks you think Sherman tank
but the Sherman's were reliable they
were quick they were easy to fix and
they had good firepower so if you want a
World War 2 tank you want a Sherman here
we go
[Music]
[Laughter]
nice job read the door that car was up
for like four seconds
Oh that this has been the greatest day
of my life by the way
not when you were born Gauri no this is
much better than that I'm sure many good
job pups oh that car
what do you think Alex I mean it is what
it is it speaks for itself
Sherman's are the most desired American
tank from World War two it runs well
it fires well it's got historical
provenance from iwo jima there is one
that we know of that sold in the last
year that wasn't documented to being at
any major battle in the world war 2 and
it was sold for 1.2 million so at 1 and
1/2 million I think that's a fair price
ok let's get out of here I'll meet you
at the Humvee you know I mean when me
and Alex started discussing me buying a
tank I was thinking I can get into
something like this for a couple hundred
grand because they made like 50,000 of
these right a little more than that
yeah and it's amazing it's got amazing
history everything about it it's
absolutely great but I'd so the ballpark
thanks man amazing day this is like one
of the greatest days of my life - I
broke a tank and it blew something up
with a tank
[Music]
