Sure do. I bought the 1077 in April of 2007 after the YFD decommissioned it Jan 1, 2007. I have been restoring it back to the way it looked when it was delivered to the Youngstown Fire Department in 1981. I contacted the Mack Museum in Allentown and in the paperwork they sent me back, it had that the 1077 was originally speced and built for the Sarah Zane Fire Dept, Winchester, VA. In a local Youngstown newspaper article when we took delivery of the Mack MC, it said that 1077 was one of 4 built for a department but that they were only able to accept delivery of 2. Attached is a pic of 1077 (Ex Youngstown, OH) from September 9th, 2007. Hope that helps.

Greg,



Fascinating! You ask where it went, and you get the exact source. Firepics is great.



I have used the Mack Museum in Allentown on several occassions and the information provided has been outstanding.



Thank you for filling in some Virginia history gaps.
