This tank is in good shape. They could have taken a little more care when repainting it an overall tan color, but better to have it painted than rusting.

The information that I do know is general information about the M60A1:
Make and Model: M60A1 Main Battle Tank
Country of Origin: United States
Location: VFW Post 8675, Jarrettsville, MD (N39°35.042', W76° 27.401')

The M60A1 has a 105mm main gun, a .50 caliber MG in the commander's cupola, and a 7.62mm coaxial MG.
Location restrictions:
This tank is located outdoors at the VFW post. I don't know of any restrictions. I just happened to see it while driving by on the highway and parked alongside the road to go take pictures early on a Saturday afternoon (25 October 2014).
