The vehicle was a complete build and some areas were aged down to look more used for the movie such as the slit in the seat and the hand painted patina. We also drove this vehicle from California to Texas and can attest to its road worthiness. There are so many features to mention we tried to outline a few below and welcome requests for additional photo's or description. Hydraulic lift cabover design with 2 new struts rated to hold the cab weight with just 1.
This Cabover International stops traffic, people will take pictures and people will ask questions. It is an amazing piece of movie history, art and collectibility. Great vehicle to get involved with ATHS events. These were not produced for a long time and are very rare, most typically used as over-the-road OTR and have a reputation as goods haulers. We have photographed this car, although if there are specific items you would like us to inspect please contact us before bidding.
Most of them were either replaced with sheets of metal or painted over. International Harvester got its start in when Cyrus McCormick developed a new horse-drawn reaper. By the company had been sold to J. Morgan who merged it with Deering Harvester and three other small agriculture companies to form the International Harvester brand. Despite its success in agriculture, IH continual added non-farm related businesses to its portfolio, depleting its profit margins. Due to ever dwindling profit margins, IH introduced many cost saving strategies in After several months of production restrictions, wage reductions, and other measures, the IH workers represented by the United Auto Workers went on strike.
The strike lasted for six months and fatally crippled IH. The Sightliner cab tilts forward on dual hydraulic lifts to provide access to the six-cylinder turbo-diesel IH DT engine. The rear lift gate works well. Robots were not included in the sale. Sightliners are hard to come by. As a result, this example would be impossible to duplicate.
Lighting, electricity, detail design, set props, lift gate, fans, custom gauges, custom driveline, even down to the large seat that rest against the passenger side of the rear compartment where Atom the hero robot and other robots in the movie sat while being transported and repaired.
Real Steel was not an Oscar contender for Best Picture. Yet, it takes honors as one of the best ever sci-fi father-son summer movies in our book. You can take it on joy rides or shown at comic conventions and car shows. Modern brakes and modern suspension components were also added since there were no backup trucks for the film, which would assure the Sightliner was continually in working condition.
The cabin was also fitted with a few new features, including some switches - functional and non-functional - cut from billet, and a knob in the center console that controls the hydraulic lift ramp.
Two extra windshields were added at the feet of the driver for aesthetics, and even include their own set of wipers. The back, though, is home to some of the coolest features.
