Full Description
Classic Fire Engine 1965 C85FD Mack Manufactured: 11/65 Motor: Thermodyne Hours:3433 Miles: 62969 VIN# 1365 Pump: Waterous 750 GPM Tank: 500-gallon water tank Trans: 5-speed manual The Cromwell Fire Commission has made the decision to sell this classic engine. This engine is a true piece of history. I can't confirm; however it is rumored to be the first or second diesel engine in CT. This 1965 Mack C85FD truck starts, runs, and drives. The restoration project was started, but never completed. It does have a newer paint job. The rig needs assembly of trim parts and accessories. A good portion of the parts are still with the truck and will be included in the purchase. Engine is bought as is. Please schedule an appointment M-F, 8-3, if interested in seeing it.
