I think you should keep it just until I am in a financial position to buy it, and I will then gladly take it off your hands.....

Very nice truck. Thanks for sharing it. If I wasn't so ambulance-poor (5 of them) I'd have it. As far as keeping it (and keep in mind I really, really love ambulances) I wouldn't part with it. I have never seen another available for sale.

Your ambulance belongs in a Museum... the one at Quantico, right next to Frank's ambulance jeep. Boyertown already has one I believe.

folks like you make me realize i'm not so abby-normal (young franken-steen movie remember) after all. 😀 it sounds like you have a superb collection.

back to the original post, your work seems very good. if your mechanical resto efforts match the external beauty, i think you will do very well on sales. i am not qualified to asses a sale value, i'm only 1/3 of the way through a wc 12 but i am watching intently. well done.

It's okay. I only have 25 WWII trucks, motorcycles, trailers, and aircraft. There are many, many disgruntled wives out there who have me to hold out as an example of what their husbands are forbidden from doing. I can hear the underlying groan in their voice when I call and they answer the phone. And that's not including the friends who have let me know, "Hey, that new WC I have, I told my wife it is yours and we're storing it for you!" I am seriously not joking about that and it has happened more than once.... I don't mind being the fall guy, as long as I don't get subpoena'd for the divorce....
