1925 craigslist truck
I just spotted this ad on craigslist:
https://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/d/al ... 88519.html
I don't know anything about it other than it is on craigslist and looks like a well preserved truck. I won't comment on the price.

I see the speed limit sign is appropriate.

These are always fun to see. I click through all the photos until I realize I'm at the 40th one of 7. I expect to see a wide variety of asking prices for the next 100 years. If I'm lucky.

Re: 1925 craigslist truck
It does my heart good to see the steady rise in popularity of survivor cars. So many of these would've been stripped down and restored in days past.

Re: 1925 craigslist truck
WOW! If I ever saw one that should be entirely left alone and just "preserved", that's the one! Especially that 8-way box! How many of them do you suppose still survive, right? On one hand, I think the price is a bit high, but on the other hand, I really think that someone who'd really like to have an ORIGINAL TT and would appreciate that one for what it is, will probably pay the price!

Re: 1925 craigslist truck
The price is a good thing. If the owner sold its for its true value someone would buy and fix it up. Anyone who pays the asking price will keep it like it is.
Technology, the solution to all of our problems... and the cause of most of them.

Re: 1925 craigslist truck
He'd probably let it go for 15K.
If I had the money and space, I'd go get it for that price tomorrow and preserve it. Restorations of cars of this age, in this level of preservation, is just as bad as hotrodding them.

When something is rusted out, been cut up, gutted or stripped out, we're facing the crossroads of letting it rot away or to rebuild it as we may want it to be. That's especially true if it happens to be ours..... Just find that one with the 'original air' in the tires!

I was only referring to extraordinary survivors in the level of preservation that this old truck is in.Marv K wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 4:37 pm-Don-

Something that has been cut up, gutted or stripped out is a good candidate for restoration.

Re: 1925 craigslist truck
I have a problem with this guy and his "all original" statements. Take a good look at the photo of the engine. I don't think they were using the aluminum fan and crank pulleys, or rubber micro rib belts in 1925. The first two photos have no oil side lamps, then the rest do have them, original? I may be full of caca, but originally, isn't the inlet elbow held on the block with BOLTS, not studs?
Also, that is a grain bed not an 8 in 1.
I do love the truck and the condition is has been kept in. I am also sure I will catch a ton of crap for the above statements even though I see them as factual. Another fact: He's going to have to wait a long time to find someone with $17,000 to spend and the state of awareness to spend it.
Still, I love the truck.

Re: 1925 craigslist truck
Well, it IS in nice, original shape.......if the word original means "runs well and needs nothing major".
Although it wasn't used in this ad that I could see, I get awfully tired of people throwing the word "patina" around. It used to mean unpolished silver or pewter. Now it's used to describe everything including plastic toys from the 70's.

Patina is just that, don't matter what it is.
PS: There is real patina and there is fake patina. That TT looks real. LIKE!
