I don't usually comment on these, but just want to point out that it is unusual that the guy is willing to lie in an ad with only four words. One has to wonder if it's a gas engine too...

I would second that motion if there was a title. Without a title there's paperwork to get one and it can be a long process. The smart thing to do would be to store it until you got that all straightened out and then you'd want to know the details of the title insurance you're buying. I'm no expert but I wonder if the rightful owner will show up and want to take it away after you've poured your time and money into it. Anyone applied for a title on a vehicle with no title before?

This is the text of the original ad:

Here is a very unique and rare truck. It is a 1940 Mack model 45U, hich looks like the familiar model EEU, ut with a solid steel framed cab. The 45U was built as a fire squad truck and Mack only built 17 of them. This one is serial number one! I have all documentation from the Mack archives to support. All 17 were supposed to be built with Continental 330 engines. However, hen I began to restore this one, found that it had a large Mack engine and the number was stamped onto the frame. Further investigation by Mack revealed that indeed, erial number one was shipped to LA Mack as a rolling unit, o be fitted with a higher HP engine, s requested by the buyer, ontecito Fire Department. This truck is complete and needs to be in the hands of a Mack or Fire Truck collector. I have lost interest. The engine ran great and did not smoke. It only showed 49K miles on the odometer when I purchased it. I have rebuilt the brake system with all new wheel cylinders and installed a modern vacuum booster. I have invested over $3k in new tires, hrome, nd gauge restoration. I sand blasted, rimed, nd painted the frame, ad the brake drums and wheels powder coated, nd the rims chromed. I also purchased a squad truck bed from a 1939 Mack that goes with the truck. The blue flatbed in the picture is not available.There is also another Mack, 1940 Model EEU that is too rough to restore but is complete and the engine is not stuck. I purchased it for small parts, nd it still has 4 hubcaps, ood badges, nd gauges. It is a wood frame cab and the wood is shot. It is included in this auction.

In the pictures, he blue flatbed is the model 45U as I purchased it. It is now apart, n the process of restoration. The yellow rolling chassis that you see in the pictures is its current condition. The large Mack engine has 12 sparkplugs, ith 6 being fired by magneto and 6 by distributor. This truck just needs the cab and bed to be painted and then put back together. It will need new glass and wiring. Nothing has been lost and the parts truck is still together, inus the rough wood bed in the pictures. It is now just a cab and chassis. I have invested over $10K to date and offer this truck without reserve. I have set the opening bid at $5K and it will sell if I receive a bid. Don't miss this chance to own one of just 17 small Macks made in this model and this is the first one made! This truck is smaller than a dually pickup, ith a wheelbase of just 125".

I have been asked if I could bolt the cab and bed onto the frame for shipping and I agreed to do that. Also, f you do not want the entire parts truck, will remove the wanted parts and the truck can stay behind. The truck (s) could be stored here for 90 days, nce paid in full.

These are some photos of another truck that was probably sold with the truck I'm looking for. Also a bed that was supposedly included in the original offer.

These are the photos of the truck in question. If anyone recognizes the truck I'd appreciate the help.

Price is a joke but seems sincerely interested in information.

oh, that's a shame. Still a super cool truck. 

I have a stupid twin screw story.

I had just gotten my CDL and was looking for work and I found this temp agency. They sent me to, I think it was Martin. It was a demolition company in Indiana. 

Anyway, one day I'm in my tractor with the full size dump trailer getting loaded with metal to take to the scrap yard and I get stuck. So I pushed what I will always call 'the joy button' and proceeded to get un-stuck. Super cool. Made the whole job worth it. I swear I think about it a few times a year now two decades later. There is more to the story but it's late so I skipped a bit.

Anyway, I was only there a month when I got hired by another company and a year later I was a full time computer programmer. Sadly, I haven't even seen a 'joy button' since. In fact, I regret that I can't remember what it looked like. I swear it was a button but I don't know.

If I could afford to pay $50k, I would buy this truck because it is awesome. But I would make it my daily driver in hope that someday I would get stuck.
