ThaddeusW Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...45079%26fvi%3D1This R715 just hit ebay and has the twin turbo 864 V8 which even has large image sizes so you can see the 864TT up close. I know I will be saving all those photos! And its close to me but I doubt I could come up with that kind of money. Too bad because I could drive it home. Curious thing is the Turbos are piped in parallel for the intake instead of staged. Each of the two exhaust manifolds drives a turbo that both compres air into the intake manifold. Each turbo can have its own stack which should make for some seriously sweet music. Never seen an 864TT before. It has 9 days to go and already is at a 5500 bid. This is going to be interesting to watch. Quote -Thad What America needs is less bull and more Bulldog!

MACKS Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 That truck looks to be nice and clean with no rust to speak of, what is the HP rating for that bad boy, what do you think it will go for.

Barry Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Great looking truck...just be warned that parts for the 864 are getting scarce!

He says in one description that its an R715 and then in another that its an R713. If it was a 719 chassis it would be a hell of a collectors item. Thanks for pointing it out mate, I'll be saving the photos too. Cheers, skip.

NoClueJoe66 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Great looking truck...just be warned that parts for the 864 are getting scarce! (865/866 also for that matter)That's one of the reasons I quit looking at the '66 I found it had a 864 v-8. Might have run alright, but my pockets don't run deep enough for a rebuild on that motor " if you can find the parts", or a repower. Nice looking truck though, appears to be pretty solid.

MACKS Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 It sold for 7,000 I thought it would go for at least 10,000, I think who ever won it got a pretty good deal.
