How 'bout some foreigners?

The legendary DAF Turbo Twin. It had two (!) turbocharged 11.6 liter engines producing a total of 2400hp and 7000lb/ft (!!), good for 150mph runs across the desert (!!!):

...and a video:

Turbine-powered Kenworth:

Almost looks like there's no motor!

**special-K** · 04-12-2011, 08:19 AM

I've only seen those DAFs in the Paris-Dakar rally. I wonder if they are used for any actual work duty?
That turbine picture threw me way off! What the...? How's that thing moving??? LOL

Yukes!

**special-K** · 04-12-2011, 08:23 AM

I was awestruck by these as a kid:

**special-K** · 04-12-2011, 08:27 AM

A Tandem dump and a li'l ole "train switcher!"

1badgmc · 04-12-2011, 08:37 AM

There's a green Euclid parked outside a quarry just off of I-44 in Eureka, Missouri. It's been there for decades. One of these years when I pass by I need to stop and take some pics of it. I've thought it was so cool ever since I was a kid.

63sbssbbw · 04-12-2011, 09:37 AM

My dad worked for Hayes back in the late '50s,(before I was born) in Vancouver BC

When I first looked at that picture I thought it was in a hole...LOL. That was the color I always remembered them being when I was a kid. Anything that color was known as Euclid Green to me.

I'm impressed. When I read about them I thought how cool it would be to work building them. They are some special machines. So,Pacific Trucks came about from a former Hayes employee starting his own company.
This guy worked for Pacific back in the day (he's Cory). I don't have any more Hayes pictures:

cam.man67 · 04-14-2011, 08:43 AM

Here's one for ya, Tim:

http://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/2322598169.html

**special-K** · 04-15-2011, 06:49 AM

I think that one could make a guy some money at that price. I kinda got lost in all the details of the seller's description

I'm not such which Brockways I've showed,so here are all of them. If there are repeats the first one is way back somewhere (and who's even looking at these,anyway?

)
