The Ultimate Hawaiiana collectible: ALOHA Airlines Ramp Truck - Collecting Tiki

I have seen many items of collectible Hawaiiana come up for sale, but never did I ever dream that I could own an Aloha Airlines ramp truck. Authentic red dirt covered engine and some a nice island rust patina on the exterior. I love that the owner got "many shakas" on his way home in it. And I love that its not street legal. Because hey, no ramp truck worth its salt is street legal. A legal ramp truck is like a virgin Mai Tai for the serious collector. http://cgi.ebay.com/ALOHA-AIRLINES-RAMP-TRUCK-USED-ON-RUNWAY-GENUINE_W0QQitemZ260442881468QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3ca39afdbc&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1205%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 [ Edited by: SuperEight 2009-07-12 23:05 ]
