The winning bidder could not pay his bill so It's up for auction again

This rare old truck metal is the (body only)  and the matching 1942 clear title of a 1942  " WHITE "  semi/ truck /road tractor.   It is 72 years old.
 It is not new . It will need some restoration work if you want it to look like new.
It came form Oregon, and has very little rust for it's age. 
  There is no structural rust that I can see anywhere.. There is a little panel rust here and there, but nothing catastrophic with only a  few patch spots needed.   The  bottom  of the interior of the doors have been removed by the previous owner to allow any rain water to drain down through the doors and prevent rust out of bottom of doors. This rig has  good solid metal to work with and the little rust repair will be easy.,  It has old school, factory and optional gauges in the dash board, along with an antique trailer brake air handle  on the passenger side of the dash that can be used for air suspension.
It's got a huge factory tachometer on the steering column.
It has a few dents , and a little rust too, as you can see.  But, great patina, and Very solid for it's age, and a with flat windshield glass , it's a great candidate for an easy chop.
Because of the huge fenders, they can be used as the back of the truck . (see pic)
The fenders are wide enough ,side by side to reach all the way across the back of the cab.
What you see is what you get ! Sold as is . Does NOT include a truck frame,or drive line.   Body only !

I put them in ONLY so you can see how wide the fenders are , and what the  " White "truck looked like with the front fenders on the front instead of the back.


On Mar-21-14 at 11:30:34 PDT, seller added the following information:

 The radiator housing / front grill assembly can easily be modified to match the firewall height .   The lower grill strut valance can be removed and the grill struts ,and housing can be cut the distance to the top of the  "crank hole " , removing  approx, 8" and the lower valance can be re-attached , and it will look factory perfect. The current  front grill housing height is approx,38"  and the firewall height is approx,30". Seller reserves right  end auction prior to closing date.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Recharge Wrap-up: meet the Luka EV project, VisibleTesla allows Model S hacking

Tue, May 12 2015

Select Registry is partnering with Tesla to install chargers at many of its lodgings. More than 170 hotels, inns and bed & breakfasts will install Tesla High Power Wall Connectors for their guests to use. So far, 63 properties have installed the chargers. Eventually, Select Registry members in 34 states as well as Nova Scotia will offer charging on-site. Tesla's wall charger provides the Model S with 58 miles of range per hour. The hotels will rent you a room for the full night, as well. Read more in the press release below. Tesla Model S owners can hack their car with the VisibleTesla app. The free, open source app allows users to check on and control the status of the car and its subsystems, similar to Tesla's official apps. VisibleTesla can also be used to schedule certain automated commands. For example, its creator, Joe Pasqua, has his car send him a text message reminding him to bring his bags with him when he enters the grocery store parking lot. Other users have the car remind them if the car is not charging at a certain time, or schedule the car to turn on the heat before departure. Read more at TechWorm, or learn more at the VisibleTesla website. Georgia Power has added 32 Chevrolet Volts to its fleet. Employees, particularly the utility's energy efficiency experts, will use the cars to travel to customers' homes and businesses to conduct energy audits. "We are leading by example and demonstrating to our customers, and other Georgia businesses, that electric transportation works for all drivers," says Georgia Power Chairman, President & CEO Paul Bowers. Georgia Power also offers charger rebates and special rates for EV customers. Read more at Domestic Fuel. The Luka EV is a project to build an affordable, lightweight, retro-looking, road-legal electric car in one year. The team wants to get the car certified for use on EU roads by September 2015. They have goals of achieving a driving range of 300 kilometers (about 186 miles), keeping the cost under ˆ20,000 (about $22,280 US at current rates) and the weight under 750 kilograms (about 1,650 pounds). The builders recently completed their first range test of the working vehicle, which uses in-hub motors for propulsion. Learn more at the Luka EV project page on Hackaday. Select Registry Teams with Tesla Motors Both Tesla owners and their vehicles can recharge at more than 170 B&Bs, inns, and hotels throughout the U.S.
