How many Israeli half tracks made their way back to the United States? How many are still in their original Israeli configuration?

I've read elsewhere that around 3000 were scrapped!!! There were a number of pictures at that time of Halftracks on their way to the scrapper and they were in incredible shape! What a SHAME!! I wanted to cry seeing those pictures!!

I suspect very few made their way back to the US.

If you want to see one in the flesh, Liberty Aviation Museum (Port Clinton, Ohio) has a very nice one.

It's a very nice museum overall with many excellent treasures.
