WTS my 1976 Tucker 1544, $15,000

J. Arenz · Jan 24, 2015

Located in Pollock Pines, CA near Lake Tahoe, can deliver, first 100 miles is free.

This is a good running, very clean, well equipped cat. It's been maintained and is ready to work or play.

Some features:
- all wiring replaced three years ago
- new dash, switch panel, and instruments at same time (see pics)
- Summit heater will run you out of the cab, gotta run it on low!
- Ham radio (Yaesu FT-8800) is negotiable
- Throttle body fuel injection conversion three years ago, no junkyard stuff, all new parts and harness, standard stock chevy stuff
- New aluminum fuel tank at the time of the injection conversion (see pics)
- fresh local starter rebuild (not a crappy parts store "lifetime")
- front winch Patriot 12000, synthetic winchline
- rear winch Warn M-8000, synthetic winchline
- seats rebuilt and re-upholstered 4 years ago
- front turntable "weak spot" re-designed and rebuilt four years ago

The redesign of the front turntable looks to be a vast improvement. I used to own this cat,and I thought It was great then,looks to be much better now. Why selling? (we're bound to get snow again someday!?) :sad:

I've had a ton of fun with it, and yes, we'll get snow again someday. It works better now than ever. Since I purchased the cat we've retired and my wife and I are doing other stuff. I might get a RZR and put it on tracks in the future, something that I can use for other stuff as well.

It's all good! :biggrin:

Video bump for the day:

Can't answer that as it's not my sale. I'd sure like to add that Tucker to my collection though!

Reddog · Feb 5, 2015

Ooops. my mistake. I saw the prior psot to AJ, and then in my marginally dysleic way, I was thinking of the OP, initials JA...sorry for the confusion... :whistling:

Did you hear about the agnostic, dyslectic, insomniac? He stayed up all night wondering if there really is a Dog.

The cab in the background is a radio box off of a 416 Unimog and is free for the taking...anybody?

Too many irons in too many fires!
