Marcel67 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 When where they build? Could my mh be one of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfuel01 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 few years back one went to an auction. it went thrue a truck 'dealer'. When i contacted them they told me it was srapt and I ask for remaining parts. the answer was nothing. I drove 350 miles to get theyre, and it was true. I was almost sure the cab would still be there but I guess they ran over it with their dozer just for the fun of doing it. it was a sad day.

farmer52 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Were they all black? I thought a MH Liberty would be gray like the Superliner. I think it would look sharp in gray with dark gray/black Liberty decal. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildirt Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 From the sales material I have have they were were all Mack "Phantom Gray, metallic, with red accent striping and the stylized Statue of Liberty decals". The frame is Imron black.The big push was for front to back, all parts and labor warranty (not tires and filters), for 3 years/ 300,000 miles. "...virtual freedom from repair costs..."Everything I found so far shows ordered in spring/ summer 1986 and delivered in October, November, December 1986 as 1987 model year.Thunderdog has gotten me one VIN, but I'm still looking for more #'s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Swishy Posted December 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) Az google az me friend it shows n tells Most of the above from BigMackTrucksa from yesteryear Mack Takes Liberty With New Lines July 19, 1986|by DAN SHOPE, The Morning Call Mack Trucks Inc. of Allentown has leaped into the media madness over the restoration of the Statue of Liberty. About 90 miles west of Liberty Island,the truckmaker recently announced the introduction of a 200-unit limited edition lines of trucks called the "Freedom Series." The Ultra-Liner cab-over-engine and Super-Liner II conventional models feature an exclusive three-year, 300,000-mile warranty. Selling for between $75,000 to $100,000 depending upon the number of options, the trucks feature special graphics that reflect the Statue of Liberty. They are scheduled for delivery in September and October. "We had a limited edition last summer," explained William Restmeyer, Mack's supervisor of trade relations. "It proved to be an effective way to market our product to independent operators, those who own one truck or a small fleet. "The concept of a limited edition adds some uniqueness to the product. This appeals to the market segment. Independent operators buy trucks with more concern for the overall appearance and comfort items. This brings in a lot more of the automotive considerations not quite as important to those owning a large fleet. "A limited-edition run gives us a basis for advertising and special promotions." Restmeyer said Mack sold all 250 trucks in its "Magnum Series" last year. Because of the recent lackluster market conditions for large heavy-duty trucks, the company will produce only 200 "Freedom Series" this summer. Restmeyer said the name "Freedom Series" has two references: to the media coverage of the Statue of Liberty restoration and to the freedom from repair costs due to the special warranty. "The warranty basically covers the entire vehicle," Restmeyer said. "The only exception to coverage is such items as tires and consumables, like oil filters and lubricants." Mack established this program with the cooperation of about 100 suppliers. Restmeyer added that calculations based on operating conditions show that the "Freedom Series" warranty has a potential premium value of as much as $12,000 to $10,000 for the truck customer. Customers also have the freedom to specify items such as six cylinder or V-8 diesel engines in 350, 400, 450 or 500 horsepower configurations. All "Freedom Series" trucks sport a contemporary metallic gray paint scheme with red accent striping and Statue of Liberty decals.

There's another Liberty RW with a big sleeper in the Netherlands and as I was told and if the memory serves 4 Superliners more were known existing. MH's is another story, have no idea of.
