Mack R700 = living history

Cam McFadyen has been bumping into R700s after a bit of a drought. Some recent travels have uncovered some gems. Here's what he found out:

I`ve always been a bit of a fan of the R700 Mack. After not seeing one for ages I spotted a blue and white one in a yard in Mackay back in January. Then Andy blogged Barry Kitto`s latest find in March and then on a recent trip to Darwin I came across ths red and white one owned by City Wreckers. The City Wreckers truck is ex-Buntine’s and is kept in top order. She’s still got the factory-fitted 350 Cummins, 12-speed Mack box and heavyweight back end. City Wreckers found an old Buntine’s fuel card when the truck was being painted and screwed it to the door for a memento – how’s that for a bit of history?! The blue and white one is also getting a freshen-up and is now in Victoria. I didn`t get a look to see which motor is in that truck though it looks like it would have come out with the V8 two-valve motor.
