1978 Peterbilt 359
Description
1978 Peterbilt 359 for sale
Commonly known throughout the east coast as the “Atlantic Breeze”, this truck has quite the history. To the best of my understanding I am the 3rd owner, the first owner purchased it new and had it until a few years ago. This was the first 359 unit to enter Canada with a water, and I believe the first with a walk through sleeper. Forgive me if I’m wrong but I’ve heard that from a lot of people that know the truck well.
100% solid unit. Was stored inside the last number of years. The frame is on excellent shape. This truck has a 400 Big Cam Cummins, which starts at first touch of the button, no matter how long it’s sat. We fire it up every couple weeks and move it around the yard. We even had it fire up at -25 this winter without any assistance. The truck needs a number of things, interior, inspection, etc etc etc, but, it starts, and drives without any issue whatsoever.
I purchased this unit with the intention to rebuild it to its original condition. When I bought it, my shop was not nearly as busy. Now, we’re rebuilding late 90’s - early 2000’s trucks steadily. Right now we have 3-4 rebuild projects ahead of this one, and we’ll be lucky to get to this truck in 2024. The trucks we’re rebuilding are going to work, and this truck was never purchased with the intention to be put to work. I planned to rebuild it to bring around to shows, but I really don’t have the time nor interest to bounce between truck shows.
This truck deserves to be rebuilt as a show truck. Or rebuilt as a toy hauler. Or maybe even rebuilt for the right fella to go back to work with. Either way, if I am going to sell it, I want to see it go to a good home.
I have no need to sell it, so please don’t waste my time with low ball offers. Just keep scrolling. It is located in Amherst, NS. Feel free to reach out for further details.
I would consider trades of the following:
Camper, Pontoon Boat, Speed Boat, Jet Ski, Snowmobile, Side By Side, ATV, Sports Car, Pickup Truck, Highway Trailer (Flat Bed, Step Deck, Dump Trailer, etc), Highway Tractor (379, W900, Classic or 4900), etc.
