This is your chance to own a armored toll collection truck that usually never gets into the public's hands. All Armored trucks are taken to the scrap yard by contract and cut into pieces when they are placed out of service. This one never made it. I bought this about 5 years ago wrapped it in the design you see today. For the past 5 years I have volunteered my time and truck to work closely with the US Army recruiting battalion bringing it to various shows, around the area as they requested.
The inside has been transformed into a comfortable RV, US Army decorated and celebrated. I have placed speakers above the driver for the am/fm cd player and convenient shelving in and around the drivers area. A flat screen TV, DVR, Xbox, back up camera, portable air conditioner, (vents through the roof), two leather recliners, CB, Ham radio, and a police PA and siren. In addition there are fans mounted to circulate the air stream around the interior. I have everything powered up with a 110v extension cord. A storage box was attached to the rear of the truck to house a set of Honda 2000 generators to run off grid. (generators are not included with the truck)
The vault is controlled by air. The door slides and you find it has been converted into a huge storage area, with shelves where an air mattress can be placed for overnight trips. The truck has been used exclusively in Northeast Florida for the past 5 years. The vinyl on the hood has cracked and faded due to the intense sun. Gas, oil, temp, air and battery gauges all work. No issues with overheating or air pressure.
I'm told it is powered by an International DT360 Diesel motor that is one of the best ever made. A three speed automatic transmission transfers the power to the duel wheels in the rear. It is registered as a recreational truck in Florida. I have kept up maintenance, oil changes, new brakes and rotors as well as rubber. The truck runs like the day it was sold. There are a couple small issues that show the age. Although the side doors open manually, the door poppers may not be working as they should, the instrument lights, speed o, and tach work intermittently and the vinyl is showing substantial wear on the hood and in some places more than others but overall you could drive this truck anywhere once it belongs to you.
The interior and close up exterior pictures displayed, were taken yesterday with the exception of the truck on location shots. The motor is governed at 64mph for safety reasons as many large trucks on the road today are.
You can also have the wrap removed and place your own design on it. The truck has a base coat of white enamel paint underneath. There are limited signs of rust on the drivers side step but I don't see any other issues. Please keep in mind it is a 26 year old truck that will have some blemishes.
Do not miss your chance to buy a TRULY one of a kind armored truck with all the trimmings. Once sold you lost your chance forever.
I will only accept a cash deposit at my bank or a wire transfer into Sun Trust. A wire transfer of $2500.00 dollars must be made within 3 business days after the sale of the truck to verify your intent and to hold the truck for your final payment. Full Payment must be made within 14 days of auction closing. I will deduct the cost of the wire transfers from the final sales price. (up to $200.00 dollars). Failure to pay will result in forfeiture of your non refundable deposit. Bidding binds your consent to these terms.
