What do you think of this?!........
Just picked this baby up - $200! Has only 63,200 org miles, I have already put on 1000.
Guy couldn't get it started and gave up. Turned out to be a frozen fuel line, the water was coming in through the filler neck (right behind the pass FRONT wheel!). Got that all straightened out, tuned it up, new cooling hoses, and a exhaust.
After all of this the total comes to about $600, not too bad!
They call it a 1971 International 1110
It’s a 304 V-8 with 3 on the tree and NOTHING power. Only one belt for the ALT and water pump!!! (Ok I lied it has one of those electronic musical horns from the late 70's and it works)
I only bought it to get around while I get the Benz project completed, so I think it will serve its purpose well. It is ugly, but runs like a top! Even the cig lighter works!
At 15 MPG I could be driving almost any SUV and get the same – but I only had to pay 600 one time, not once a month…… Sure haven’t come a long way on efficiency eh?
Have any of you seen such a creation - I am young and have never seen anything like it! Anybody know anything about these engines ect? Seems to be allot better built than the American trucks I have seen (steel vacuum lines!!!????) Just a curious piece - I won't do anything else to it but oil changes and sell it.
