Dont see one of these everyday. Would prefer the DT466 engine personally. Cool rig. Not sure price is quite on point.

Contrary to the writeup it does appear expenses were spared.

Looks like a home grown rig.

No way that thing has the DVT-573. That is a 9.4 liter engine from the 1960s that went in giant earth movers and the flat front cabover big rigs like the Trans star. It for sure has the 9 liter V8 diesel. Which is a turd. Made more noise than power. I'll bet they bought this at auction for less than 12k. Which is about what it's worth. It's not even driveable in California.

Why can’t it be driven in CA?

You guys over here complaining about trivial things like wiring done by a 10 year old and a battery with no strap totally unsecured like that means anything...

IT HAS A FREAKING OUTDOOR DARTBOARD!!!!

Love the propane hanging under the vehicle.
I guess it stays cooler that way?

I’m going to guess the weight and diesel motor. CA is getting rid of large gross polluting vehicles so can find a lot of state agency vehicles for sale cheap

 

[rawtoxic]

I think it will do great on the CA freeways with it's top speed of 50mph.

Who needs a battery strap? It's held in place with liquid nails - duh! - sorry it's too high end of build for ya.

2020 Carb regs. Any old diesel coming out of Cali should be very very cheap. I have winery friends who have DT 466 4900 International juice haulers from the 1990s that they are giving away or they have to get them SMELTED TO SCRAP:

You can have a an older diesel rig over the GVWR for the CARB compliance if it is for personal use. Businesses cant.

For now, pretty soon no one can have anything.
