Repost of my ride from photos taken at the 2006 Liberty Lake Muster in Bedford, VA in 2006.
132,000 miles and still running great. Almost all original including the paint. The carpet inside has been replaced but upholstery still original. It has a 289-V8 with 3 speed automatic transmission. All equipment still works. Featured in the book "First to the Flames - A History of Fire Chief Vehicles", by Edward L. Peterson (1999 by Krause Publications).
Now resides in Chesterfield, VA. It is Ex-Carmel (NC) VFD. It was cloned in 1991 by Steve Cloutier the fire chief in Carmel at that time. Fully equipped with Scott cub air-pak, full turnout gear circa 1963 (3/4 boots, fireball gloves, MSA helmet), Civil Defense Geiger counter, explosion meter, Big Beam flashlight and road flasher, Motorola high-band mobile radio and hand held, Federal mechanical siren under the hood, first aid kit and resuscitator, Federal Beacon Ray (4 bulb-quarter turn) and alternating flashers in the headlights and on rear deck.
