Popular Post 67RModel Posted Thursday at 03:58 PM Popular Post Share Posted Thursday at 03:58 PM No affiliation. Saw on FB Marketplace but thought it was a pretty interesting truck so I figured I would post it here and see what everyone thinks. Obviously its a ton of money. I'm not sure who the market would be for a truck like this. Collectors or Guys looking for a reliable old school workhorse. I would think a super heavy spec day cab that is 5-10 years old would be around the same money. Question I have is do you think there are guys that are willing to spend $75k on something like this and use it daily? 1984 RD686 Mack tractor with 25k org miles.300 6 sp 58,000 rears 11x22 tires wet system fenders 18 F - Commercial Vehicles - Boston, Massachusetts | Facebook Marketplace | Facebook 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75450-25000-original-mile-1984-rd686/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a r600 285, 5 speed, 38,000 black bumper truck was in the low 40's 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75450-25000-original-mile-1984-rd686/#findComment-574445 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted Friday at 04:24 AM Share Posted Friday at 04:24 AM Well this isnt tyhis trucks first rodeo, it was on here once before many years ago Was purchased new with maybe 1/2 dozen others at the time Reckon it was a bit less coin, so maybe the purchaser then is selling it now Not a bad deal to me, rust free double rail chassis, rust free cab, virtually a brand new truck You'll never be able to get another one that good and original Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75450-25000-original-mile-1984-rd686/#findComment-574469 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted Friday at 09:54 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:54 PM Pretty sure it wasn't lined or pin striped back then, just the base colours Guessing this bloke has bought it then and personalized it Yes it's a lotta coin, but were else are you gunna buy one like it I seam to recall the seat had some story behind it Maybe the new seat was swapped with another truck in the fleet, but it was a genuine deal last time and maybe 10,000 miles then No matter, it was very low mileage Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75450-25000-original-mile-1984-rd686/#findComment-574524 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted Sunday at 08:18 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:18 PM Yes, if I was to buy and import it to Australia I could never get it registered as the looneys running the show have made a rule that any heavy vehicle over 10 years of age imported into Australia isn't allowed to be registered Rule change came into effect July 2024 Apparently that's gunna save the world Paul 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75450-25000-original-mile-1984-rd686/#findComment-574670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
