Vladislav Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Interesting to know what level of restoration they call "perfection".Vlad Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25458-a-55000-b61/#findComment-122536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 It's nice, I give it that. $55K, likely not. B's didn't come with black interiors and red velour seats. I would pay $55K for a muesum quality restoration, done just like the factory built, but not one like that. They might have that kind of money in it, but you will never get it back out. Oh, it also needs the correct fifth wheel, battery box lid(where's the second box?), fuel tanks, and whatever else.Where's the rest of the underhood shots and such? Where's the upper stack bracket? Seems that pipe would shake itself to pieces only being mounted by the lower band clamp.I do like the chrome wheels. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

gvam Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 right. Now if it was white B61 with an air ride axle and custom sleeper, then I would think about spending that. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25458-a-55000-b61/#findComment-122539 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vision386 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I have seen this truck in person,it sat in front of Mack of Charlotte (NC) for a couple years,allthough it is "nice" it ain't 55K nice! there are a lot of "little" things both out of place and "wrong" i rarely pick apart anyones work (whether i like it or not) but this could have been done a lot better in my opinion,it looks "rushed" to me,the paints not as nice as it looks in the picture,the bodyworks really crappy! theres a lot of "zip-ties" and spray paint lurking about under that hood!.........just my .02................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.

Mike Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I've seen prices like this many times on other vehicles. I feel like he just wants the publicity. This is his way of showing the truck to more people and not taking it to any show. The highest bidder will be his buddy.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25458-a-55000-b61/#findComment-122612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Horse Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 The light green interior is a Mack signature item-why would you EVER paint it anything but-again an opinion but my guess is most serious Mack people would feel that way. Kind of like taking the blue out of the "blue oval". Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25458-a-55000-b61/#findComment-122809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 It's just the one more subject to learn that an amount of money doesn't determine a wellness.And one more time to trust that the best one is the only self-made.At least self-created.If somebody doesn't like green interior he is unlimited to coose any other.But he must not to be surprized to loose the value selling it.How was absolutely true written a time here, this is a job for love, not for a profit.Chomed wheels look good.New tyres also.It hasn't green dash but the dash is done very nice and clear.The modern style fifth wheel is a nonsence.
