JTFormula Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 That's the first te I've seen a classic truck parked in an office. The cubicals really make the point too.

1958 F.W.D. Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Dont use the internet for an appraisal. Contact the ATCA, or AACA, or the Mack Museum to get the name of a true appraiser. Apologies to the scoundrels on here for the lack of faith but that one looks too pretty for an internet/weekend appraiser.

yarnall Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 That is a really nice looking truck. Yes you should.have a professional appraisal. A guess is $25000. Maybe more, up to 40,000, if it is.a.good running truck. I'll give you $2,500 for it.

Pmorelli Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Not bad that i get to look at that every morning when I get in my office!! I appreciate the offer yarnall do you want to finance the balance. It is a great running truck, 1/4 turn on the crank and it is running Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27195-value-of-1928-mack-ab/#findComment-137121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loadstar Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I recently bought a fire truck from a beer distributor in N.J. They had a truck just like yours......they said they paid quite a bit for it.....but who knows what they mean by quite a bit......I will say this.....your truck is in far better shape than theirs.....im not sure they could have fit another bucket under it !! Yours is a beauty......i'll one up yarnall and go 2600.........What would that get me?...the tires?

kscarbel Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 While so many ABs (produced from 1914 to 1936) had solid rubber tires, its interesting that yours had pneumatic tires. Whether it left the factory with that option or was converted later, it's a plus. But it's difficult to come up with a figure based on your limited information. You haven't presented any information on the condition of the drivetrain. If it's a static display of sorts and the drivetrain has never been delved into under your ownership, that important aspect is as much a mystery to the prospective owner as it is to you.If, for example, your AB had been restored by someone respected (e.g. Pfahl Mack Restorations), then the receipts and documentation on the work done would very much help to determine the value while clarifying its mechanical state without question.Without knowing more, I agree with Yarnall that a guess is $25,000 (plus or minus $10,000 depending on the condition of the drivetrain).

Pmorelli Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 I have the original build sheet from THE MACK MUSEUM, it was built with pneumatic tires. The truck was originally sold to Lyman Coal Co. in August of 1928. The drivetrain is immaculate and original, it runs probably as it did when new. Two things not original are the electric horn button, but i put the original mechanical horn on and the updraft carburetor had an exhaust recirculation butterfly on it and that is still missing Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/27195-value-of-1928-mack-ab/#findComment-137201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
