MH production

[MHfred]

Here is a copy of the MH production records I received from the Mack Museum. Like I posted previously, they are a great asset to Mack trucks. I hope it is legible.

EDIT: See the note that no domestic MHs were produced after Jan. 1994.

Thanks Fred for the build data.

Wow!! Only 31 1992 MH612 built. That makes mine worth at least 3 or 4 times what I paid for it! This is better than winning the lottery (NOT!).

Ken, if it was built in late 91 and titled in 92 it is one of 16-almost twice as rare and valuable.

Mack records show mine as built on 02/24/1992. 14 (mine is number 12 of 14) MH612 built in 1992 (January and February) went to Martin's Pastry (the fleet that owned my MH). Likely mine is the only one of that group still in the USA.

Thanks for that info MHFred.... it was on my shopping list of questions for the Mack Museum.....

To licence my MH613 as a "collector vehicle", similar to other regions "antique"... one of the provisors is 25 years old which my 93 isn't... but there is a small loophole I want to try and that is a clause that may allow a collector status for "less than 1500 produced in the model year"....

Here in BC Canada, the government owns the licencing and mandatory basic insurance... as a commercial truck my plates & insurance would be about $4-6000 per year, as a private truck about $1500 and as a collector about $400.... obviously with some restrictions and limitations it is the way to go, the only alternative is to make my MH into a self contained RV..

Crazy rules and prices are not limited to the US of A....

I clicked on it and ran for cover. Must've been a dud.

Any explanation for the spike in '88 compared to '87 and '89? My first guess was that UPS had something to do with it, but they were tandems.

That was back around the time when several states legalized 53' trailers but with a 65' overall length, so cabovers made a short comeback.

Dammit! I knew I should have bought that MH off of my cousin! 440 E-9,2090,4.42's on Taperleaf,24.5's on ALL aluminum Budds.about 190" w.b. Here's where I hit myself-he sold it for $3500.00 and says I could have got it cheaper than that!
