What Happened to the Goldberg Monster Truck?

The Goldberg Monster Truck was an iconic vehicle that had a long and successful career in the world of monster trucks. It was first created in 1986 by Bob and Jim Goldberg of Wisconsin, who wanted to make a monster truck that was fast, powerful, and well-built. The Goldbergs succeeded in this endeavor, as their truck quickly became one of the most popular monster trucks on the circuit.

The Goldbergs decided to make their truck out of a Ford F-250 pickup frame, so it would be strong enough for the rigors of monster truck racing. The frame was then fitted with an 800 horsepower engine, giving it the power needed to compete against other monster trucks.

On top of that, they added custom-made suspension with oversized shocks and custom-made tires designed specifically for off-road racing. This combination made the Goldberg Monster Truck one of the most competitive vehicles on the track.

The Goldbergs took their truck all over the country to compete in various events, including mud bogging competitions, hill climbs and freestyle events. In each competition, they performed admirably and often placed high in the rankings. They even managed to win a few prestigious awards along the way, such as Monster Jam’s “Truck Of The Year” award in 1987 and 1988.

In 1999, after 13 years on the circuit, Bob and Jim Goldberg retired from racing with their beloved truck. It was sold to another team who continued to race it for a few more years before finally retiring it from competition in 2003. Since then, its whereabouts have been unknown as there has been no further information about its current status or location.
