MAY WE PRESENT
THE 1940 FORD 1.5 TON MARMON HERRINGTON 4 WHEEL DRIVE CONVERTED SNOGO SNOWBLOWER!!!!
THIS VEHICLE WAS USED IN A WORLD WARII BOMBER BASE IN USA TO CLEAR THE RUNWAYS......NO SALT WAS ALLOWED ON RUNWAYS..SO THIS EXAMPLE IS RUST FREE BEAUTIFUL .........SPORTING A FRAME OFF RESTORATION.
RESTORING ONE OF THESE IS LIKE RESTORING 3-4 REGULAR PICKUP TRUCKS AND THE RESTO COST REFLECTS THIS FACT.

INSIDE CAB HAS ALL THE COOL HARD TO FIND STUFF FROM SNOGO AND FORD...SINGLE DRIVER WINDOW DEFROSTER...HYDRAULIC CONTROLS WITH INNER CONTROL DECK AND THROTTLE CONTROL FOR REAR ENGINE AND FRONT BLOWER ASSEMBLY....
REAR ENGINE...
THIS HAS A VERY SPECIAL STORY TO IT...THE REAR ENGINE ON THIS RIG (WHICH IS THE CORRECT INTERNATIONAL 6 CYLINDER FOR THIS TRUCK) WAS REBUILT BY NONE OTHER THAN ROUSH RACING THEMSELVES.....DONT BELIVE ME? CALL THEIR RACING DIVISION..THEY WILL CONFIRM THIS..... TURNS OUT ALL THE ROUSH GUYS ARE HUGE WW2 HISTORY BUFFS....THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REBUILD ONE OF THESE MOTORS FOR A SNOWBLOWER..AND THIS IS THE MOTOR!!!
IT IS A STOCK REBUILD OF THE CORRECT MOTOR BY ROUSH...AND MAN DOES IT SOUND AMAZING!!!
THERE ARE 2 CONTROL DECKS....ONE INSIDE CAB, AND ONE OUT AT THE REAR ENGINE ON DRIVERS SIDE.
BLOWER CLUTH ENGAGEMENT HANDLE IS RIGHT BEHIND YOUR FEET..SIMPLE PULL UP TO ENGAGE...PUSH DOWN TO DISENGAGE.
THIS VEHICLE COMPETELY OWNS EVERY SHOW IT GOES TO....PERIOD. I DONT CARE WHAT SHOWS UP.....
IF JAY LENO DROVE IN ON A UNICYLE WITH A MONKEY ON HIS HEAD...NO ONE WOULD NOTICE IF THIS TRUCK WAS THERE.....ITS THAT MIND BLOWING IN PERSON.
SO MANY PEOPLE ASK QUESTIONS, ARE EXCITED AND WANT TO LEARN ABOUT IT AND ITS HISTORY.... YOU COULD CHAT WITH SOMEONE FOR 2 HOURS AT A CAR SHOW AND STILL NOT RUN OUT OF COOL FACTS AND HISTORY ABOUT THIS SNOGO...AND WHAT IT MEANT TO SERVING OUR COUNTRY IN WWII....
GO AHEAD AND ASK AS MANY QUESTIONS AS YOU NEED TO BEFORE BIDDINGHAVE YOUR TRANSPORTATION ARRANGED IN ADVANCE PLEASEASK YOUR WIFE...YOUR HUSBAND....YOUR BANKER...WHOEVER!!!!!BEFORE YOU BID!!!!
