# 2006 Freightliner Columbia C120 – Project or Parts Truck – Engine Issue – Missing Some Parts – Loading Assistance Available Up for auction is a 2006 Freightliner Columbia C120 being offered as a project truck or parts truck. While this truck is currently out of service and has a few missing components, it is not too far gone and may represent an excellent opportunity for a buyer looking to rebuild, repair, or utilize it as a valuable donor truck. According to the owner, the truck was removed from service after it began pushing oil out of the exhaust. Over the following years, several parts were removed as needed for other equipment. As a result, the truck is incomplete and should be considered a non-running project. However, the owner believes the truck still has good bones and could potentially be brought back into service by the right buyer. One of the major highlights of this truck is the drivetrain. It is equipped with a desirable 14-liter Detroit Diesel engine paired with a 10-speed transmission and good rear ends. Even as a parts truck, these components represent significant value. Detroit-powered Freightliners remain popular among owner-operators, repair facilities, and export buyers due to their durability, parts availability, and ease of service. The Freightliner Columbia was one of the most widely used highway tractors in North America and earned a reputation for reliability, driver comfort, and economical operation. Parts support remains excellent, making trucks like this attractive candidates for repair or component harvesting. ## Highlights / Positives * 2006 Freightliner Columbia C120 * Equipped with a 14L Detroit Diesel engine * 10-speed transmission * Good rear ends * Valuable donor truck * Potential rebuild candidate * Freightliner parts widely available * Detroit drivetrain components highly desirable * Strong foundation for restoration or repair * Excellent source of commercial truck parts * Loading assistance available ## Known Issues / Negatives * Non-running * Project or parts truck * Owner states engine was pushing oil out the exhaust when removed from service * Some parts have been removed over the years * Incomplete truck * Mileage unknown * Mechanical condition unknown * Will require significant inspection and repairs before returning to service * Sold as-is, where-is, how-is While many buyers may view this as a parts truck, others may see an opportunity to bring a solid Freightliner back to life.
