I would freak out if I saw that rig parked at a shipper. Save your pennies, and plan a trip to Australia!!!!!!!!! Tony Champion in Rockhampton QLD has probably the biggest Mack collection, BUT there are enough other Museums and private collectors Down Under to make the trip worthwhile.. Pick a year that ends in a 0 or a 5 as that is when they hold the BIG Truckies Reunion of over 1000 trucks in Alice Springs NT.. I was able to participate in the 2015 ATHS Down Under Tour, it was a once in a lifetime experience!!!! PM me and I can give you the email address of a travel agent who knows of them and the antique / historical truck hobby.. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75326-ultraliner-mh613-tales-and-mysteries/page/4/#findComment-573005 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW we are totally off topic!!!! Bob, Now at age 80, I am glad we did our traveling while we were still in the late 60's and early 70's.. Health problems have caught up with us!!!! Granted I had to steal some out of our 401/IRA's to do it, BUT it was money well spent.. Including 6 days in Hawaii on the way home, the Aussie trip was in ball park figures $25k for the two of us. It could probably be done cheaper and more interesting with a rental car, regular motels, and eating in local pubs rather than the air fare, fancy hotels / restaurants and bus/tourist tours we were on. The travel agent was the daughter of ATHS past president John Vanatta so she has connections in the antique truck hobby as well as she attends a lot of the American National shows.. In 2013(??) we drove to the ATHS national show in Yakima WA and made a slight detour on the way home by way of Fairbanks AK!! That trip was 6 weeks and 15k miles on the ground not counting the inland waterway ferry from Bellingham WA to Haines AK. Totally self guided for about $12k..

BigMackTruck Posted 12 hours ago Author Share Posted 12 hours ago Fellas it is a long loooong video, I personally haven't finished it. This Mack has seen better days, but the video is good. He had me entertained, and there are some tidbits of information here and there.
