Cameron bought it to restore and finished the project in the spring of 2000. His intention at that time was to put it to work as a winch truck doing light oilfield work in Alberta and western Canada, but “the end result of all effort turned out to be far too nice, so I just didn’t have the heart to put her to work,” he says. The rig has been a show truck since.
