PATINA RESTORED 1962 INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER C-120 4X4

        IN 1917 INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY PURCHASED 414 ACRES OF LAND IN HINSDALE IL.  FOR AN EXPERIMENTAL FARM WHERE IT TESTED THE WORLD'S FIRST ALL-PURPOSE TRACTOR. THE FARMALL. IN 1956 THE SURROUNDING RESIDENTS OF THE EXPERIMENTAL FARM DECIDED TO INCORPORATE AS THE VILLAGE OF HARVESTER IN HONOR OF INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER. THE COMPANY OWNED AND MANTAINED THE FARM UNTIL . TO MY KNOWLEDGE. 1985 WHEN IT MERGED WITH J. I. CASE TO CREATE CASE IH. FOR APROX. 68 YEARS THE FARM WAS USED TO TEST ALL SORTS OF EQUIPMENT FROM TRACTORS TO TRUCKS TO DOZERS AND REFRIDGERATORS. THOUGH THIS 62 INTERNATIONAL TO MY KNOWLEDGE WAS NEVER TRULY ON THE HINSDALE FARM I THOUGHT IT APPROPRIATE TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THE FARMS HISTORY BY PLACING THE " HINSDALE FARMS" DOOR DECALS ON THIS PRISTINE OLD FARM TRUCK. THE DECALS ARE REMOVABLE IF NOT TO YOUR LIKING.  

         THIS IS A TRULY PRISTINE EXAMPLE OF INTERNATIONALS FARM TRUCK OF THE 60'S. MANY OF THESE TRUCKS NOW LAY IN WAITING ALONG THE FENCEROWS OF AMERICA. THERE SHEETMETAL LONG SINCE GIVEN IN TO THE ROUGH CLIMATE. WHEN ONE OF THESE TRUCKS ARE FOUND IN THE CONDITION THIS ONE IS IN ITS HARD TO CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT AS THEY ARE GETTING TRULY FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK WAS DELIVERED TO WICHITA KANSAS BY THE INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY VIA RAILWAY IN 1962. BUILT TO EXACT SPECIFICATIONS OF THE CUSTOMER AND EVIDENCED BY THE ORIGINAL BUILD SHEET THAT GOES WITH THE TRUCK. IT IS A 3/4 TON 4X4 WITH A 4. 09 REAR AXLE MARRIED TO A 4-SPEED TRANSMISSION WITH LOW 1ST GEAR. I DRIVE THE TRUCK STARTING OUT IN SECOND WHEN NOT TOWING ANYTHING. IT WEARS ITS ORIGINAL PAINT COLORS OF WHITE CAP WHITE AND LIGHT GREEN. THE TRUCK ENJOYED THE MILD SALT FREE CLIMATE OF WICHITA KANSAS UNTIL MARCH OF 2001 WHEN IT WAS TRUCKED TO MICHIGAN TO ENJOY A LIFE OF EASE AS A PLEASURE/SHOW VEHICLE. ( I HAVE THE ORIGINAL TRUCKING RECEIPT). IN JULY OF 2011 THERE WERE 4 BRAND NEW  OFF ROAD SUPER TRAXION TIRES PUT ON FOR A TOTAL OF $811. 00 WITH MINIMAL MILES SINCE. ( RECEIPT ALSO INCLUDED). OF COURSE OVER THE YEARS THE TRUCK HAS HAD MOST EVERYTHING GONE OVER AND THROUGH INCLUDING BRAKES. WIRING. GASKETS. UEL TANK. GAUGE. AND PUMP. MANY . MANY ITEMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR RENEWED AND THE TRUCK SHOWS IT! THE TRUCK STARTS. RUNS. DRIVES. WITHOUT ANY ISSUE AND COULD BE DRIVEN ANYWHERE.

       THE PAINT HAS BEEN DONE AS BEST AS POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE THE " PATINA" LOOK THAT IS EVER SO POPULAR TODAY. IF THE WINNING BIDDER CHOOSES TO DO A COMPLETE " SHOW" REPAINT THE GROUNDWORK IS ALREADY DONE. NO BONDO OR FILLER WAS USED IN THIS TRUCK AT ALL. WITH THE WHEEL WELLS. FLOOR BOARDS. ROCKERS. FRAME. AND UNDERCARRIAGE BEING COMPLETELY RUST FREE DUE TO ITS HISTORY IN KANSAS. THE TRUCK HAS THE 266 V-8 AND JUST PURRS AND CAN BE SEEN IN THE ATTACHED VIDEO. I SELL MANY INTERNATIONALS AND AS YOU CAN SEE BY SEARCHING MY FEEDBACK DESCRIBE THE VEHICLES HONESTLY. BID WITH THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE AND FEEL FREE TO SEND ANY QUESTIONS. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW THAT FOLLOW MY AUCTIONS I SELL SOME INTERNATIONALS THAT ARE OUT OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION AND SOME THAT ARE OWNED BY MY EMPLOYER ( A CAR DEALERSHIP IN BUSINESS SINCE 1962). THIS TRUCK HAPPENS TO BE ONE OWNED BY THE DEALERSHIP SO THE WINNING BIDDER WILL HAVE TO PAY THERE STATES SALES TAX. PLEASE DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE ARRANGED PAYMENT. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO AND SEND ANY QUESTIONS I WILL REPLY QUICKLY. THANKS AGAIN AND BEST OF LUCK ON YOUR BIDDING!
