Does anyone know of any options for Matmantre like an expo vehicle dealer that might do consignment or something? Giving more time to find the right buyer?

Thanks a lot! I feel we all gonna loose with the virus situation....

Thanks, it’s far from perfect, but it is unique and it does the same job as other 200-300-400k+ dollars rigs.

stay safe and healthy!

Fascinating rig, too bad it doesn't appear to be registerable in CA since it originally had a gas motor and the smog testing goes back to model year 1976.

I wonder how they would know, on my title it says Ford F600 1979 and gvwr.

By the VIN. Once the inspection station inputs the VIN it will show up as a gas powered rig.

Ya you are right, I thought maybe the old VIN doesn’t include the engine but it does. But! I did my homework lol and it is legal in California to swap engine from gas to diesel but not the opposite. There is some rules that need to be respected, for example, the new engine needs to be the same year or newer, it needs to have original anti pollution system (none), needs to be from the same class of vehicle (no industrial), etc... it seems that there is 2 way to do it, one is a form that you can fill at the DMV the other one is to show it to a referee I think!?

Salut Mathieu

Superbe création! Je suis dans une situations similaire à vouloir vendre un véhicule overland et le marché n'est vraiment pas favorable avec la situation actuelle.

Si tu décides de revenir au Canada n'hésitez pas à venir prendre un break à Vancouver... j'ai une maison ici et je peux t'offrir un gîte ou un parking

Bonne chance pour ta copine, c'est superbe que tu sois prêt à tout vendre pour être en sa compagnie

Bonne chance
David

This is a medium duty truck (class 6?), it would not have had any emissions controls in 1979. I don't know the specifics of CA in this particular case but it most likely would never have to be smogged since there is no expectation of it passing a test that doesn't exist.

Since it was swapped, it usually would need to pass emissions for the year of the engine installed. But the engine is a 2002 from a class 2b or 3, which still had virtually no emissions controls.

Ya it is a bit confusing and the answer is never the same depending to who you talk. But for sure it can be registered in California.

Engine comes from the same class, it was in a medium duty also.

Thanks for the reply!

If that thing was a crew cab, I would be all over it. Really well done. Did you build it yourself?
