Bullheaded Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Somebody just sent me this. What do you all think? Here's the add: Say Hello to the very very first E9, V8 Magnum Ever Made in 1985! #1 of only 186 off the MACK SUPERLINER production line. Exclusively offered at $158,000.00 I am only considering serious people regarding this truck. The only form of communication regarding the E9 will be by calling 973-886-3020, Look forward to speaking with you. Thank You, Jay Trevorrow IRONMARTONLINE Heavy Equipment sales and Marketing And some of the comments, LOL: Comments online: Brock Flahart The bumper, speedometer, sleeper, shody frame stretch job, rears and suspension all say its unoriginal...... 🤷♂️ it may be the first magnum of 186.... but one thing's for sure... this poor truck has been hacked apart and put back together with whatever parts were around. Levi Schafer That frame is craptastic ! There's no God Damn way anyone in their right mind would pay half that for a hacked up shit box. Damn shame a good truck was destroyed by ignorant hands. Dexter Montgomery This thing is so fake I’m curious if the engine is even there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 its ben cut and spliced,,,,it actually looks like it was shortenedim thinking someone spliced in a entire real section from something else,perhaps longer legs????????bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 maybe started as a single axle,who knows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark T Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The rest of that truck doesn't look too bad. Why would someone do something like that.... and be proud enough to display several pictures of it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark T Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I get the add is from a broker and all.....but somewhere, there's someone who did that to that truck. and the someone actually thinks there's nothing wrong with it . Let alone somebody probably paid for that . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I'm no genious, but the back half doesnt look like Mack to me... and if the shift knob represents the tranny.. it's too new to be in that truck. the frame splice looks nice but there are no pics of the inside of the frame rail's... Parade truck??? jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure no one in their right mind would put an inspection sticker on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 yup. and the worse part is, he will find someone with more money than brains that will believe the "sell" and buy it.

Hans Remmers Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 There are several recent posts on here by the current owner. First looking for a superliner to buy, then a few weeks later posting that he bought this. Then looking for parts to make it original again. Within only a couple weeks of that a friend sent me the ad from facebook. Doesn't make a lot of sense being so desperate for one, buying this and almost immediately abandoning it to ask crazy money for it. It could be a priceless truck, but not without a lot of money and time to make it right. But hey, price has dropped $7k in 2 months, it must be on sale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullheaded Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share Posted December 19, 2021 I looked at it and thought to myself...."that would make a good parts truck for someone with a good Superliner chassis." Maybe that's what happened Hans......somebody bought it with big dreams of going trucking and couldn't get it safetied to plate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry T Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Plain and simple: There's a lot more wrong with that truck than there is right with that truck. Maybe it is #1 and maybe it isn't but in it's current condition it is little more than a hack restoration which shouldn't bring any more than current value of any other E9 Superdog.

tjc transport Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Paul, the long long long frame is for bridge weight distribution. and to make it impossible to drive in the city.

mowerman Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Ya they used to require 9 ft between drive axle and steers to max out axle weight I’m not even sure if law requires that anymore and yes ten four on the city delivery’s lol Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Ive Been running single axle freight trucks almost all my life doubles and triples so I’m not even sure about bridge law but that is what I heard thru the years so don’t quote me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
