Have THREE Now, awaiting the KW to be Completed, do not care if next week or next year they just want to see it done so can Bid War on it. 2005 built '04 W900L, Rebuilt C15 cloned to 6NZ. Have all the numbers and listings for components as well the repairs lists. One stated he will start bidding at $60k when he can see it completed and painted out. These three two run Bull Racks, the last a local guy just hauls Grain and Farm supplies as bulk fertilizers. Have repeated myself time and again not really interested in selling, they are paying little heed.

You get the best return selling something you don't want to sell. Sold a pickup many years ago like that, was just selling rims and tires guy asked if I would sell the truck I said it's not for sale, no one would pay me what it's worth to me, he made me an offer I couldn't refuse so it was gone. It made sense, it was lifted etc and I had a stupid amount of money into it and selling it helped me buy a house quicker. I've had ex's joke that I would sell them for the right price, because I always say anything is for sale for the right price.

And just to back up what I posted-This big cam cummins that I just built and sold in less than three days
after posting on two separate truck groups on facebook. I have received no less than 16 pm's asking if it
was sold or do I have anymore, or do I have any rebuilt B model Cat's. If I had 25 engines setting rebuilt
I could sell everyone in two weeks. I have another BCII and a B model 400 and those are already spoken
for.

On the blue W900 why is there 2 pipes coming off the air cleaner? I don't recall ever seeing anything like that.

It is but that is a ton of money for a standard hood W900. Long hoods normally in that price range and up.

Not many if ANY pre 2007 models available around here. Most are snatched up long before ink is dry for sales ads, have to be pretty well used up and junk to still be in sales ads. Are tons of unscrupulous dealers out there sitting on machines, most of which have Salvage Titles so Buyer Beware.

Anything on the market needs to be checked including the radiator cap. There is some real tired
trucks on the market, recaps and a paint job to entice.
