Non-Running Kenworth W900A Dump Truck – Has Been Sitting for Years – Tow or Repair On-Site – Clean Title
Up for auction is a classic Kenworth W900A dump truck being sold as a non-running project truck. This truck has been sitting for several years and will require repair before being placed back into service. A clean title is in hand and ready for transfer.
According to the owner, the truck was running fine when it was parked. The reported issue occurred when the truck failed to start one day, allegedly related to the original 24-volt starting system. The owner believes that after converting the truck to a 12-volt starting system, the Cummins engine should run fine. Buyers should perform their own inspection and evaluation, as this information is provided by the owner and not guaranteed.
Despite its current non-running condition, this truck presents an outstanding opportunity for restoration, repair, or collection. The Kenworth W900A is one of the most iconic trucks ever produced and remains highly sought after by truck enthusiasts, collectors, owner-operators, and restoration builders. Produced primarily during the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s, the W900A helped establish Kenworth's reputation for durability, driver comfort, and classic styling. Many enthusiasts consider the W900A to be one of the most desirable conventional trucks ever built.
The long hood, unmistakable grille, and classic lines of the W900A continue to make these trucks popular at truck shows, in working fleets, and among collectors. Good project trucks with clean titles are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
