I’m thinking of letting my ‘53 Tucker 443 go.
Long story short, we keep our snowmobiles in the small garage at our cabin throughout the winter and bring them home in the summer. The Cat won’t fit through the garage door at the cabin and I won’t let it sit outside, so it basically lives in my shop at home. I also despise the thought of dragging it through the magnesium chloride that the state floods our roads with just to make a short trip into the hills. As a result, the Cat finds itself just sitting in the corner of my shop while we ride our snowmobiles out of our cabin. I have plenty of other projects that need my attention and demand more shop space. I’m not looking to get back what I’ve put in it, just what I think is a reasonable starting/asking price for an 8-place Cat in this condition. Cat has about 10 hours on the clock since the build. $20,000 cash?
I will also sell the custom 16' deck-over trailer I have for this Cat. It has tandem 8000# axles (16,000# total), 2-5/16" hitch, heavy wood deck, and electric brakes on all 4 wheels. I have removable 4'-tall front, rear, and side rails for hauling other ‘loose’ things if you want them, but won’t fit with the Cat on the deck. Ramps move to different positions on the back to load narrower UTV’s and the like. Spare tire is under the deck and all tires are new. I’m only offering to sell the trailer with the Cat. $5,000 firm.
In case you want a refresher on the history and build story of this Cat, it’s here:
