Bucky Buscadero, SASS #73085 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 This would be so cool to have as a yard decoration! It's being auctioned off on eBay. Not many of these floating around. RareB-17 Gun Turret on eBay We'veheard of a lot of interesting items for sale on eBay, but this one's a first: apiece of a WW II B-17, in its original paint! If you've got the space for it,what a great conversation piece this would make! With a reserve set at $6,100,the auction is ending Sunday. The turret is being sold by Stockton (Calif.)Field Aviation Museum and Vintage Aircraft are offering a B-17 gun turret oneBay and part of the proceeds will go toward the restoration of the museum'sflying 1945 Lockheed PV-2D Harpoon http://www.ebay.com/itm/Actual-B-17-upper-gun-turret-with-original-WWII-paint-extremely-rare-/181119277704?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a2b8cda88#viTabs_0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Actually they offered it to almost all the B17 owners, and restorers, including couple here in Florida. Its also being offered on a Warplane site. They thought it would be cool to put it on E-Bay and see what reponse they would get. They have been amazed at the interest. Oh its cool, and one of the few that's operational. Most are static. Would I like one, you bet. B;ueJeans says to cut a hole in roof of my Jeep and install it. As to E-Bay, when I'm bored and not on a Military site, or someone says to check something out, you would be surprised at the stuff, instruments, etc. touted as coming from a B17, about 75% came from other crafts. I've got everything for a cockpit project, if I ever get the time. Even 2 seats, trottle, and 2 yokes. Just need to, or get Bob to build the instrument panel for my instruments.
