Not sure what that means. An extra engine?

a fire engine. which is another name for a fire truck. so they have a 10 year old fire truck with 12k miles as justification of the low miles on the 48.


I wouldnt see paying 40k for it myself, but watching some of the barret jackson auctions I remain astounded what some people pay for stuff. I saw the unfinished boyd coddington woody bring 70k, about 3 times what I thought it would be worth with almost nothing done except the wood kit.

its nice that people still pay for originality, that truck sure has it all ate up with cool 40s fire accessories too. and its not a 3 ton truck, its a nice little half ton. I bet it ends up in a museum and really it deserves to. How often do you find one optioned like that?
