Wowabunga Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Only 12 of these were made by the Ford Motor Company and they were outfitted by Holman Moody. How many are still left today maybe 3 or 4 ? The cab-over option was rare and neat all at the same time. I'll update this listing later this week as I'm a small farmer and I have animals to care for and land to till. Buy my truck so I can buy a new tractor is my motivation. Truth be told, I bought this in 2003 and wanted to turn it into a mobile internet cafe... but hey everyone now has a smart phone and the truck has long passed it's intended purpose. It's got air horns and air brakes and you do not need a CDL license to drive it... oh the fun I had driving it around to shows both local and national. Once drove it to work when the daily driver was in the shop LOL. What's this worth who knows... I just know you can buy dozens of 1953 Corvettes all day long for big money. Be the only kid on the block with a real live been there and done that chunk of NASCAR history. Two photos show truck with Bobby's race car loaded.

Steve Moskowitz Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Tommy, you are right, I think I have seen this thing before. Either that or we both are getting senile! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

real61ss Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Do you have current photos of the truck? These all appear to be quite old, just wondering what the condition is now. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoringicons Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Now that's really cool. Imagine pulling up at the Hershey car show in this rig with an appropriate car on the deck. That would be impressive!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello JM Davis, I've been pondering selling this old truck to someone who could really give it the home it needs.... been thinking about it for a year or so. As to price I just checked and there are a dozen 1953 Corvettes up for sale listing from $150k to $250k each. Many to choose from. Yes Corvettes are sexy and fast.... but this truck has a sleeper cab and that's extra sexy ha ha ha. Hold on kids sometime in the wacky 1970's the entire interior was redone in thick red shag carpet, and yes especially the sleeper cab. I'm up to my ears in Spring planting so you won't hear from me for the next 48 hours. I will be updating more photos and current running condition, and a inventory of the NOS nicknack parts I've been collecting and a small library of Ford parts books included that pertain to this wonderful truck. I am thankful for the interest. Ramblin Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wowabunga Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) A year later I finally got around to getting the big truck started. Just rebuilt the carb, cleaned out the fuel tank, and new wires and plugs and it started up like a champ. Currently dealing with a leak in the air brake system, but no worries we'll get this loaded up on your low boy no problem.
