1988 VW LT diesel fire truck firetruck fire engine - $14999 (pinellas park)

European fire truck,never been on the usa market,6 cylinder diesel made

by Volvo,5 speed stick and read this: 4800 actual km,or 3500 actual miles.

cab could use a repaint,was always fleet maintained and was owned by shell

gas and refineries,was never used on the open road,max speed 120km an hour.

If your a collector of fire stuff,this is a must have.Comes with florida title.

OR take the body off and turn it into a flatbed or rv. I also know a few VW LTs

that are already flatbed car hauler diesels and also some Mercedes 307D vans

and carhaulers.And also some VW LT diesel RVs.

Obsolete

No commercial value as a fire apparatus for this truck and questionable value to convert it.
Wonder how much it is worth as scrap metal?

LOL @ "6 cylinder diesel engine made by Volvo". No, Volkswagen made those, and that is what they sold Volvo for use in their cars. It is a VAG 5cyl with an extra cylinder.

Cool truck, though. I'd love an LT, but not like that. I guess you could repurpose it easily enough.

I noticed that when I read the ad initially.

$2901.... lmao.... yeah, he's not gonna get that much for that truck. Tough to say what it is really worth, but clearly not all that much. More of a novelty for anyone on this side of the pond. I'm a big enough VW fan to lust after it for sure, but my wallet is small enough to keep it well out of my reach.

It would be awesome to show up to a club event in that, though.

I've got an LT31 Westfaila "Florida". It's an awesome thing to drive around in. We brought it home as a souvenir from our trip to Germany last year. I'd pay the $2900 in a heartbeat.

Not on us soil nor has it passed us customs. No thanks.

Ah, not on US soil. Either I missed it on the CL ad, or seller was trying to drum up potential leads prior to its arrival.
