Limited Edition Legend 900 ride and drive

There is so much to take in on this truck its hard to know where to start, but probably the first thing you notice is the old school Kenworth Bug with the serif font.

The Legend Series models embrace a retro theme, and incorporates the original branding from back in 1971 when the first Australian built Kenworths rolled out of the Bayswater plant. But they’ve not stopped there. It continues throughout the truck.

The next thing you notice is the extra grill bars, which is something most old blokes added when they got their truck home.

Glance further around the bonnet and you notice the KENWORTH badge in the old style font.

Again Cummins came to the party with old school badges for the bonnet

Cummins were so keen in fact they even supplied the engines painted black with the Red Rocker Cover which was their engine colour back in the late 80s. Rumours have it that this engine has a power torque boost to 750 horsepower.

Move around a little further you notice the air cleaners have smooth chrome party hats to suit the 70’s theme. Then there is the two-piece stainless sunvisor, which gives a tougher old school look compared todays single piece visor that has more wrap around appearance. On top of the cab is the old school bullet lights.

Pay attention to the exhaust and shrouds, which have been meticulously modeled on an early W-Model including the chrome elbow. The tank steps are the old traditional ribbed style with polished tanks.

Inside the cabin the theme continues, with the ‘parchment’ diamond button trim embossed with ‘Legend 900’ insignia. The seats are current top of range ISRI with leather trim again embossed with the Legend 900 insignia.

The dash is the old school traditional flat dash, with specially built VDO gauges that carry the old school Kenworth Bug. The leather wrapped sports steering wheel also gets the old school Kenworth Bug.

Eaton came on board as well, supplying a custom gearshift knob with the old ‘Fuller’ branding that was prevalent in the seventies.

Not only does the cabin feature the old-style flat dash but also it includes traditional doors with a quarter vent window. The bunk and cabin are separate items like they were back before the advent of integrated sleepers.

To finish it off, it comes with custom-made black mud flaps again with the old school Kenworth Bug. Some good news here for those that might miss out a one of these Limited Edition Legend 950s, these mudflaps will be available from PACCAR Parts.
