BigRobbie Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I have the chance to buy a 1940 Mack ED model configured as a produce truck. Truck originally came from Brooklyn.It runs and drives, the body is in great shape and everything is there. It is a survivor meaning that it does not need to be restored. My question is what is it worth?ThanksBig Robbie Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21707-1940-mack-ed-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Whatever you are willing to pay. It's all depending on how bad you want it and how bad the seller wants to sell it. The only set value for an antique truck starts out at what it will bring for scrap and goes up from there.ED's are fairly scarce,very desirable,and I've seen some bring some big money,as well as I've seen some go reasonable.If he's looking for an offer,I'd start out at $6000 and go from there . 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21707-1940-mack-ed-model/#findComment-91470 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 That looks like a very nice Mack. Also by looking in the background he has several other antiques. If I were closer to him, i'd make him an offer.Best Regardsmike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21707-1940-mack-ed-model/#findComment-91492 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRobbie Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 The asking price is $17,000.I know it is rare but that rare? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21707-1940-mack-ed-model/#findComment-91606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarnall Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 You know everyone wants a Mack Jr. because it is the smallest Mack ever made. I have seen them priced in the $100,000 range. I don't know any selling prices. Of course the Mack Jr. is a Reo with Mack name plates. The ED is considered the smallest truck ever made by Mack. I don't know the number produced. There are still some around, but not that many. I am not surprised by the $17,000 price. I wouldn't pay it, but someone might.
