It'd be coming to Ireland except for the fact it would be another 5/6 grand to get it here then another 4 ,500 for importation.But if I had the dollars. ...go for it Jack.

The plastic center dash is all but impossible to find in good condtion.83 is last year of Cruiseliners.

someone got a really good deal at $3,700

[Jack Mack]

Went for $4070, but still nice I always wanted  a cab over until I found a B model open fire tractor. The bidder that got it was in it after the $ 1,000 mark, nice truck!…..Jack

[tjc transport]

the winning bid was $3700. 

the $4070 price shown includes the 10% bidders fee. 

and then there is also the 6% state sales tax that will be added when settling up 

[cruiseliner64]

I would have loved to buy this Cruiseliner but at 4,300 dollars to buy, shipping to Ireland 6,000 and Irish import tax at 4,500 makes it 14,800 dollars.Then another 14,000 to put it right...bit over my budget😪

Would the additional 14,000 qualify it to be used for actual work or would that only be for historic/antique hobby use?

LOL I sound like a "dumb American" but what currency does Ireland use? Euro? Actually that whole area geopolitically has always been very confusing to me and I never seem to remember the meaning of all the following terms: England, Great Britian, United Kingdom, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Republic of Ireland. Do you live in the country of Ireland or on the island of Ireland?

[67RModel]

To clarify I do know that The Republic of Ireland is a sovereign country located on the island or Ireland. However if you live in Northern Ireland, which is also on the island of Ireland you would be a part of UK, Great Britain, England???? So with that said your location, listed as "Ireland" is slightly ambiguous to a dumb American lol.

Right,i'll try clear up a few things for you

1) yes the extra 14,000 would allow it to be used for actual work but finding insurance for it to do actual work would be near impossible at reasonable cost

2) The island of Ireland has 32 counties.26 counties make up the Republic of Ireland and the remaining 6 make up Northern Ireland.

3) Great Britian is made up of 4 countrys Scotland,Wales,Northern Ireland and England.Each has their own goverment but all are controlled from London....Same as each state in the US has its own goverment but is controlled from Washington DC.

4) The United Kingdom is made up of all countrys which have the King of England as their head of state.

5) The Republic of Ireland uses the Euro and Northern Ireland uses the British Pound as their currencys

6) I live in the Republic of Ireland which is part of the island of Ireland.I live close to the border with Northern Ireland

No your not a dumb American.Asking questions is never dumb.

Hope that answers some of your questions and feel free to ask more.

Im a loyal subject to the king of MACK,the greatest name in trucks!!!!
