The Argosy occupies a distinctive corner of the Australian market: it was the last American-style cab-over sold here in volume, and since production ended supply has only tightened. It found its home in linehaul and B-double work, where the cab-over layout buys back trailer length, and with owner-drivers who wanted big-bore power under a flat-floor sleeper cab. Used examples are almost always prime movers, typically Detroit or Cummins powered through an Eaton manual or automated box, with mid- or raised-roof sleepers. The spread between tired early trucks and tidy late-model examples is wide, so condition and history matter more than badge or spec. Kilometres are usually high — these were interstate trucks — and emissions-era engines reward a documented service record. Stock skews to the eastern states, and clean late examples move quickly because nothing new replaces them.

What Moves the Price
Body & fitout
The body is half the value: a straight tipper, crane or purpose fitout adds real money, while a bare cab-chassis sells to a narrower market.
Kilometres & history
Genuine kilometres with a service file out-price the same truck with a gap in its story. Interstate-highway kays read easier than stop-start urban work.
Auto vs manual
Automated and automatic transmissions carry the market now. Manuals — especially road rangers — trade at a discount outside specialist buyers.
Rego, rust & tyres
No roadworthy, visible chassis rust or a set of tired tyres all get quoted straight off the price — buyers total the driveway-ready cost first.
