Factory 1984 Western Star
“ 3408 DI V-8 Caterpillar 600hp ”
ULTIMATE COLLECTOR TRUCK FOR THE ULTIMATE COLLECTOR
Second Owner truck “All the paper work”
There were only 3 known to have been built. The other two were wrecked or parted out. As far as I know this truck is the ONLY ONE IN EXISTENCE . Custom ordered from the Western Star factory in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada, I have the factory build sheets and history. This Truck was ordered to haul grain trailers in the mountains, after 3 years of late nights it was retired to a heavy haul truck.
This is my treasure!!! I call it “ THE ONLY ONE” THE ULIMATE STAR, YOU MAY FIND KENWORTHS AND PETES BUT YOU WILL NOT FIND THIS GUY.
AS YOU READ ON, YOU WILL SEE WHY!
The truck is 100% Rust Free, never in the salt or winter. I have done many things and spent many dollars!!!! on the truck to bring it back to near new mechanical condition, so the STAR is in premium condition. Last thing FOR ME TO DO was to TAKE IT APART and have it painted. FOR RESTORATIONS I DO ALL THE FITTING AND REBUILDING SO THE NEW PAINT WOULD NOT BE SCRATCHED during a run in period.
