When talking about million dollar cars I think many of us think of high end European or American built specials.

Vintage crew cab trucks aren’t the most common variety to find like this International Travelette. Equipped with 6 seat belts, a small gun rack, a pick up bed, and 4 wheel drive, this International is a real catch. With several days remaining, bidding has risen to $3,607 with the reserve not yet met. Take a look at it here on eBay out of Central Point, Oregon.
The 345 V8 is a good runner with a recently installed Holley carb, an overall tune up, and new fuel pump. The only notated issue with the engine is an exhaust manifold leak. This truck is equipped with power steering but sadly no power brakes. There is some mild corrosion in the engine bay, but nothing serious.
The interior is quite reasonable with nice seats, 6 functioning seat belts, and a small gun rack. The dash is in fair shape, but there are a few wavy areas, and most likely a few cracks with those waves. There is no radio installed, and some of the gauges, dash lights, and turn signals do not work. So there may very well be some electrical work needed in this old truck.
Thought to be original, the paint is worn on the hood and doors, but much of the paint has survived. The body is remarkably straight for a work truck, and the bed is very solid as well. There is no evidence of rot on this truck, and really there is little surface rust to be seen. Ready to roll, this crew cab classic is a cool find that you just don’t see enough of. There are a lot of directions you could go with this truck but the number one option needs to be that this truck gets driven! What do you think this International Crew Cab will sell for?
