The problem with most Museum vehicles is that they look good but are in questionable condition electrically and mechanically. Also, the cost of buying, getting it working and transportation make this vehicle a financial gamble.

Best vehicles to buy are ones that have been restored or semi-restored and are being driven regularly.

Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice looking truck but not enough information to sink $20K+ to own.
Hi Duane,

I posted up the link as the auction was running yesterday and I didn't want you to miss out on an opportunity if that truck was to your liking and in your price range. We now know it sold for $ 25,000, so at least we know you didn't miss out on a bargain

Keep looking at CMPs listed for sale on this forum in Canada, the United States (there were some more listed but I need to find them back), or even England, as that is where the very same C15A you posted a picture of, is up for sale!

Hanno
