A FEW ITEMS OF NOTE:
- About 8 years ago this truck was put on it’s side in the Sahara causing minimal damage that required some bondo work on the passenger side
- The images featured here show the truck on a 70 series chassis. This will be changed to a restored 80 series with coil-over suspension all the way around and fully rebuilt 80 series drivetrain.
- This truck is being restored as it is. That means that it will be repainted in its yellow color, the interior living space will be refreshed but not redone or reconfigured, and the on-board power set up will remain as it is currently wired.
- Photos shown of the vehicle show it in a number of different states. Some have it with the different LED lights on the front and boxes on the roof while others have it with decals on the paint etc. For the sake of clarity, the truck will have no decals, no boxes on the roof, no LED light bars, but it will have the KC HID Carbon PODS (with the yellow covers).
The price will be $115,000. This asking price is $30,000 less than a “new” Maltec North America Spec Troopy which are built exactly how ours is being built but with a new style body and a completely new interior fit out. Of note however, is that this truck will have many onboard systems like lithium battery, hot water, a winch, and a number of other things that do not come with new Maltec builds.
Maltec will personally handle and legally certify the import of the vehicle to ensure it abides by all applicable US or Canadian import laws. Upon import and VIN verification, the vehicle will be registered in Colorado where buyer can come to pick up the truck.
If you’re interested in the truck, we are taking deposits on a first come first serve basis. Once a deposit has been submitted, work on the truck will begin. Deposits are non-refundable and a minimum $5000 deposit to lock in the truck is required. Interfacing with Maltec on the build progress will be the sole responsibility of buyer and Maltec.
