Juan Ibarra’s Road Hawg

| January 09, 2013

Miami entrepreneur Juan Ibarra manages lucrative properties in South Florida, including a strip mall, shopping center and warehouse complex – the latter of which is used as a parking space for some of his most prized possessions.

His ’65 AC Cobra, ’62 Bel Air Coupe and ’63 Ford F-100 decorate the property. But one custom vehicle overshadows them all – Ibarra’s Road Hawg, a Harley-Davidson-themed 1989 Peterbilt 379 with a 355-inch wheelbase, painted and pinstriped wheels and leather floor covering.

He picked the truck up in near-junk condition from its previous owner in spring 2008. By November it was winning awards at shows across the country, including first in Best Interior and third overall in the Limited Mileage category at the 2009 75 Chrome Shop’s Pride & Polish in Wildwood, Fla.

    How’d he get his money to start up in properties. Miami is full of drugs I heard.

    But does he use the truck to haul loads?

    Nope it doesn’t haul loads, just a show truck from my understanding…..

    i am tired of non working trucks being put on a pedestal when anyone can have a nice rig by not working it – i designed and built working show trucks for years and the drivers out there who work and show their trucks are the real heroes all the others all hat no cowboy -

    Quit your bitching and enter your rigs, and try to earn a spot on a pedestal. Here is a news flash – trucks are built from factories, whatever life they end up living, they are still trucks and that is what counts. On top of that, that guy saved an ’89 Pete from the scrap heap.
