Nope, this one went for higher and you got a plane that goes with it, all for charity. http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Archive/Event/Item/1958-DODGE-M37-MILITARY-TRUCK-162923

That's a beautiful truck.

I certainly prefer #2 to #1.

 

[OilfieldRoughneck]

That would be my ideal daily driver.

While I like an M37 there isn't one anywhere worth that much and that includes the one sold at BJ.

Don't get me wrong, it is a good looking truck but it isn't really a restoration, it's a fully customized truck. The second one is a better example and while both plane and M37 "may" be worth $350k at a charity auction but not in real life.

I like the one with the plane.

Sweet, that means that rusted out hull of a M37 behind the barn with no drivetrain and a tree growing through it must be worth at least $15,000!!!!!!

That truck was restored by Mr. Talbert. I had a chance to ride with him in one of his rebuilt M37s back in 1988, WOW!! I still have not forgotten that ride. This was a time when you could still find very nice rebuilt M37s, and WWII trucks. To ride in one that had a diesel motor was just plain wild.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

I like the one with the L-19. What kind of truck is it?

for that kinda money you could hire master fabricators to build you one from stainless steel with surgical precision tolerances
i dont trust charities
they have a fantastic track record of lining organizers pockets
while a fraction of 1% actually does some good
