And yes I am kind of biased, we own 3 and I am hoping to sell my w900 to be able to bring another project home, 77 with a Kt450 in it.

The Mack would be the rarest & most Collectable of those 4.. IMHO
The Cabs had a very poor reputation for cracking/falling to bits, So It must be a real survivor to be still around..
You'll also find that most parts for that E9 are made from unobtainium........
Still if you could afford to Buy It & tuck It away in the corner of the Shop for a few years, I've no Doubt it would be the best investment of the 4..
Just My 2 cents worth..Diesel Dave Thanks this. -
That mack with the V8 engine is a special one. Especially if it's Diesel.
The others have their points and are all equally considered, however that Mack draws my attention due to the engine. Aint too many of those around. I had a superliner 500 that probably had one of those, and it would do well in what we did with it back in the day as far as engines go it did really well. -
This is true for my K100. The doghouse was cracked on 2 ends, one by the AC/Heater area and the other by the shifter tower. BUT, I had it repaired and reinforced all around. It never cracked again.
