  1. Italy had about one thousand of them rotting on a field some year ago. Unfortunately there's not much to do with them, since they are not really upgradable to modern standards.

  2. Only the A5, the last commercial version, can be upgraded to 120mm.

  3. Not worse than the T62, but worse than the T64 and T72 (apart for the laughable reverse speed of the Soviet tanks), and, differently to them, not really upgradable to modern standards. The Leopard I has light armor, the 105mm gun is not up to date and not really upgradable, the ammo storage is even more dangerous than in the Soviet tanks (13 rounds in the exposed turret). That's why, while there are many ready kits to upgrade old M60, there is really none, despite thousands of existing samples, to upgrade the Leopard I.
