Released on my birthday in 88 at dreamworld I was 11......coming from a strong trucking family from that day all I ever wanted was a bicentennial......at 42 now nothing has changed......the best truck on the road in my book........was lucky enough when I was 16 to do a melb ..syd..return in costantinos Ben hall......big high light of my younger years.....I got lots of litriture and pics of them including a rare booklet on them that u got when u signed up for one........
Memories of Paul Constantino's Bicentenary Superliners "bagging" us up on the Hume Highway many years ago now ~ but with a little more "pace on" ~ Running with the Overnighters ~ Wards, Kwikasair, Comet, Ipec etc ~ oh how times have changed ~ Days when you could Overnight Melbourne - Brisbane without any problems what so ever !!! These Bicentenary Superliners were some of the Best trucks that Mack Australia has ever produced, hands down !!!
i remember bringing a couple of them bicentenary superliners down from the factory at wacol to melbourne back in 88, on the back of an R model with 8 pallets of general up the front. i backed it on as that was the only way it would fit and i remember it overhanging the back by about a metre, with the steer sitting right on the rear combing. one of them coming down, i noticed coming into west wyalong that it seemed to be over on the left a bit much so had to pull into the shell their and let the chains all off and start her up so i could reposition it. then i rechained it. The newell was a goat track back then and there was no air bags about at that time. and of course we all drove differently back then as well. most glamorous loads i ever carted i'd say. they attracted a lot of attention coming down back then i can tell you.
I owened a . CL with a 575 v8. Tractor unit. It used to set car alarms off as you idled past them .but the 900 rpm with a load on . Funny as . . Loved it.
I had a poster of the bicentennial trucks on my wall. Been a truck mechanic in England for 20 years now. Would love nothing more than to jam some gears on this rig
A produce shop here in Armidale had one of these bicentennial Superliners pulling a tipper. Can't remember the name of it but I sure remember the sound of it. Holy shit that thing cracked!

Gday glen
I think someone should start a bicentennial superliner register to find out where they all are now and who owns them

They only wobble when someone with no idea attempts to secure them. LOVE the spiders & chromies!!
That is way too cool. I'm not even going to swear!
