4000 to import it
FOR SALE! Very rare 1929 Diamond T Model 290 1 1/2 Ton, dual wheel rack body truck. This is a true barn find time capsule. Purchased new by a potato farm in Manchester, Connecticut and used right up into the 70’s until the state ran a highway through their farm and the truck was parked in the barn. Sold from the farm to a friend of mine just a few years ago who sold it to me last summer.
Just don’t have the time or space for it right now. Rock solid throughout. The metal has surface rust overall but the only actual rot is just a little at the bottom of the door skins.
Otherwise it’s all solid and original. All original wood inside including body wood, floors, and window/door trim. Original Chestnut bed is also rock solid with awesome patina and no rot.
Engine spins over by hand and I have everything required for a tune up including the extremely rare original carburetor which has been rebuilt plus a spare repro carb. Also have the original headlight glass and trims. Original porcelain Diamond T emblems with solid brass door hardware. Windshield and door glass gone but easy to remake.
Original spare tire is under the bed. The passengers side rear outer wheel is damaged probably beyond repair. Comes with an impossible to find original 1929 Diamond T owner's manual! No title sold on a CT bill of sale only.
Asking $8500 or best offer, really want to see this go to a good home. Would be cool to get running and driving as is like we planned or a perfect candidate for a proper restoration since all the original parts are here, nothing missing.
This is RARE! I don’t know of another this early that is so complete and original. Located in East Haddam, Connecticut. Message or call/text
