61sleepercab Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I own a 1961 B model intregal sleeper cab single axle that a younger collector is going to tackle restoration. Presently a long haired tom cat could be run through the cab's holes and not mess up his fur.He has heard about (urban legend??) a warehouse sale where NOS B Model Intregal sleeper cabs were sold at auction.Does anyone have such a cab for sale or a good used intregal sleeper cab??? Any info would be helpful. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ditchkus Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Same legend where I live in Northeast, Penna. supposedly a junkyard in Gouldsboro,Pa. had crates of Indian Motor Cycles from the 40'S.

yarnall Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 You never know what is out there. Look at the Lambrecht Chevy dealership. I would not have believed it if I had not seen it. If you do find the place let me know. Mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 When I bought my first MH612 from Martin's back many years ago, Martin's had a NOS primered cab for an E6. Wanted $3500 but it has since sold. Don't know where it went (but I have a guess).

61sleepercab Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Thanks for the funnies you all posted. There WAS A SALE OF NOS B MODEL SLEEPER CABS SOLD FROM A WAREHOUSE THAT STORED THE CABS FOR THE ORIGIONAL BODY BUILDERS. My friend has a friend who attended the auction but was not a B Model fan and did not bid on them. The warehouse auction occured in Pennsilvania about three years ago.The B Model Sleeper cabs were sold. Where did the go ??? No little green men were seen holding bidder paddles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

j hancock Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Must have been the worst publicized auction ever.If Mack fans saw an ad for an auction including NOS B sleepers, there would have been a ton of people there bidding it up.

41chevy Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 After going the the Fall Hersey Swap Meet every year since 1982, I've seen some amazing NOS parts come out of the wood work. Last year there was a Antique Motorcycle vender from New Hampshire with 4 NOS 1940 ULA motors in Cosmolene in crates. Wanted 10k apiece. A few years ago a few hundred NOS early 50's Military Ford Flathead V8's showed up. So it wouldn't really surprise me.

farmer52 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I just saw an ad for three (3) early 1980s Case garden tractors...2 NOS and 1 still in the crate. I heard of vintage motorcycles still in crates. So anything is possible. Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleclutchinweasel Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I bet the gov't has a bunch stored at Area 61.Actually, they are in area 61B.There are also some in area 41B, area 83B, and a couple in area 75B. These were in the optional material "unobtanium".I also heard an unsubstantiated rumor of some odd-ball cabs in area 600R. These were in the even-rarer optional material "bull-shitium". If you find these, please put me down for 1. Quote "Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision386 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I do remember reading a story some time ago,where a radio station (somewhere in the mid-west I think?) put away a 1958 Corvette roadster in a "time capsule" (cinder block building) to be opened by the winning ticket holder (if still alive,or his decendants) in the year 2000, sure enough they opened up the "vault" and the car had been almost completely ruined! seemed the bomb shelter had leaked,and the car had been sitting in 3 feet of water for all those years!
