Firetruck next to the only Aussie Valueliner in North America and a 700hp Superliner. Any chance of this rare gem in the U.S making it to Macungie ( if it hasn't been already) or another show in the North East?

It was at Macungie 2016(?) and was here for about 4 -5 months and then returned to the owner on the West Coast. I don't know of any return plans.

Timmyb Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 My dad has had two v8 valueliners, and both of them were 6 cylinders! 🤪 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/52265-aussie-heavy-haul/page/2/#findComment-390285 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmyb Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Nah. Apparently Mack made about 50 of them with e7’s. They were both R788’s, instead of 722’s.

Timmyb Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 We never knew either, some guy from Brisbane told us. He was a truckie, so naturally, we believed him! Ive seen 2 others over the years. Way to pick them is they won’t have the v8 badge and usually e7 powered. Not many people would repower an e9 with e7. Usually cat or Cummins.
