1960’s M-60s vs modern anti-tank weapons - should be interesting - until ISIS figures out how to run the M1A1s they got from Iraq ... or maybe some of the Sunni trained to use the US tanks have gone over to ISIS.

They might be able to figure out how to drive the M1A1. However, how can they maintain them? They might be able to cannibalize parts for a while but they don't have the expertise to repair or refurbish. What about ammunition?
Those M1A1's will become stationary soon.

Yes, they will have to stay behind the lines quite a way. But they are decent mobile artillery, well....at least better than they had before.
