“Yeah, I’ll have a #7 meal, super-sized with a Dr. Pepper, please.” “I can’t hear you, sir.” “I SAID, I’LL HAVE A #7 MEAL, SUPER-SIZED WITH A DR. PEPPER!” This is pretty much the ultimate drive-thru vehicle, although it may be a little far from the speaker and mic as you order your food. Not to mention, it would be great for traffic jams. Mudd Junkie can be found here on Craigslist in downtown Manhattan. No, just kidding, it’s in Hooksett, New Hampshire. The seller is asking $10,000 for this monster. There isn’t a lot of photo variety shown here but it’s one mean looking pavement pounder.
So, about those shipping charges, or would you just drive it home? I don’t see a problem there, eh? You’d slip under the radar if you drove the backroads at night without any lights on the whole way. Ka-bump-ka-bump… “What the H was that?” “I think it was a Honda Fit” This is one of those vehicles that not many people really have a real need for but a lot of us would absolutely love to have it! I wouldn’t need a lift in the garage, this thing is high enough to park a couple of my cars underneath it and save space. That’s not a bad argument for my wife when I tell her about Mudd Junkie. “Just think of the space we’ll save!”
The seller doesn’t give any interior or engine photos, or really too much info on this super cool monster truck, but that may be a New Hampshire thing rather than a Craigslist thing. They say “I have a 1965 Ford Monster truck with a 557 big block, has 5 ton axles duel transfer case, built trans, lots of money and time invested. Call for any question. Serious inquires only.” I thought that my new winter vehicle got horrible mileage at 15 mpg, what would Mudd Junkie get? 1.5? I guess you’re only going the length of an arena with something like this anyway. Seriously though, this one was sent in by a Barn Finds reader who didn’t leave their name, so thanks to the phantom monster truck lover! Add me to the list of Mudd Junkie fans, too! What uses could you see for this monster Ford?
No comment.
Mud runs around here seem to have a loyal fan base,predominantly lower social-economic.Also attract the younger citizens.Nothing wrong with any of that,glad I survived that stage of youth.Helping build one of these could teach a young person a lot about mechanics,welding,engineering,etc.Yes this pick-up body is doomed for destruction,can’t save all of them.
@KSwheatfarmer – I would like to withdraw my “No comment” comment. You’ve illuminated an angle that hadn’t occurred to me about the things that people can learn from building using and maintaining a vehicle like this one. Thank you for sharing your insight.
I’ll take credit for the tip, Scotty! Glad you wrote it up!
Thanks, Jay!
Thanks for the reply Not Sure, Wish I had all the hours back I spent working on dumb stuff (demo-derby cars). Oh well this is how we get smarter!
Wasn’t aware Nylint got into the aftermarket wheel industry (one for all the old guys)
Someone had to burn thru a lot of Harbor Freight coupons building this bad boy.
The buyer is going to enjoy tinkering with this truck……especially with all the extra time he’ll have after the divorce.
GLWTS.
“Serious inquiries only”. After that write up? I don’t so. Too funny.
Looks down right stupid, i guess its ok if your from the hills.
