M113 C&R "Lynx"









HISTORY
Developed in 1963, the M113 C&R "Lynx" was a venture by FMC corp., the same company that manufactured the M113. It was offered for evaluation in a completion to serve as the U.S. light tracked command and reconnaissance vehicle. The Lynx was not chosen in favor of the short-lived M114. However, the Lynx was not without its fans. Canada and Belgium purchased production version and the amphibious Lynx served a long and successful career in Foreign Service.
​
Our M113 Lynx is actually one of the few prototypes used for evaluation and testing. The Serial Number is P1 (prototype 1). We have mechanically re-conditioned our Lynx, and it is our little “hot rod.”
