Looks to be older than an '89.   Be a nice truck for someone though.

[mowerman]

wow    thanks for that,,,,bob

[tjc transport]

i am considering it, but i already have enough projects to probably last me 10 years longer than my lifetime.

[mowerman]

OK, just spotted this. That’s just hilarious. TJ Pretty much same thing here. 

[tjc transport]

sold for $8,100

[yarnall]

Who bought it?  Looked like a deal. 

[tjc transport]

dont say. all the auction site shows is the first two letters of the bidders user name followed by 5 stars. only 18 bids, 

with 5 bidders. and three dropped out after it reached $5,000.

[yarnall]

I set an alarm to bid but set it for PM instead of AM.  I didn’t need it anyway.

interesting. the listing showed reserve was met at $5,000, and still shows reserve met.

Sure sounds like somebody got a hell of a deal. They’re probably not telling us the engine is stuck ha ha

[mowerman]

I do remember that was a hell of an engine back on the day was a pulling SOB …: bob

Sold Amount

USD 9,112.50

Plus a buyers premium

Plus how many thousands to bring it home

I'm figuring 15k by the time it's in my yard

Not Cheap Enough for ME

Yes, looks to be a Superliner 1, steering box is mounted on the axle, pre-85. Tapered frame on the front also.

[mowerman]

I think everything is said and done. I will have about 8000 in mine, but it will be a immaculate.

[tjc transport]

if you ever stop watching soap operas and finish it.

[Joseph Cummings]

You know this whole bidding online, sight unseen and then having to drag it back hundreds or thousands of miles isn't for me. Even the auctions that I go to end up with me bidding against someone who had never seen it.

2400 mile round trip. 6mpg, 400 gallons at $4.00 $1600 just in fuel

yeah, a lot of times you’re paying more for shipping. I was looking at a rebuild steering box in Florida 900 bucks and it was 900 to ship it more 1800 altogether luckily I found an alternative.

I distinctly remember Bob saying something about watching Big Bang Theory.  Never anything about soap operas.

Got to be all paint. If she slept in your bed, the pillowcase would look like The Shroud of Turin when she got up
