Not too bad a concept, but that is way too much of a hackjob to accomplish what he was going for.

So the drive shaft is 30 feet long? The goddamn thing is bowing in half. I want to sell my car from looking at this.

Interesting... I want to see someone pull a tire at the strip on that.

Just out of curiosity how much was he asking for it?

To top it off, it's probably got the 2.8 v6 under the hood with an automatic...

Re: Ok, Im not sure what to say..

Probably a multi-piece driveshaft like my '68 C10 has. It has a 2-piece shaft where 1 goes from the tranny straight back to a carrier bearing where a u-joint is, then a 2nd piece droops down like a standard shaft does to another u-joint at the rear end.

Re: Ok, Im not sure what to say..

i didnt post this pic to bash it. we have all seen limos like this in other models, years, etc. so why not a third gen? someone sent me the pic on facebook. probably to bash me as a third gen lover. i thought it was unique and worth the discussion. i dont care why it was done but how? im guessing this was an abandonded project some time ago. i would reall like to more about it honestly. the interior, drivetrain, frame, etc.

I know where there is an 80s vette limo sitting in a storage yard. Cool concept, just poorly executed.

Yeah, I agree, It's almost RV looking with that higher top center. Yeah the car is horrid, but I would like to know how it was built and with what parts.

I just noticed that it seems to have 2 sets of T-tops as well.

He's sagging a bit. He needs to put some sub-frame connectors on that beast.

Re: Ok, Im not sure what to say..

^It's gonna need 3 sets of SFCs.

Interesting though. I wonder how a properly executed version would look. Think stealth fighter for the parts & panels they have to add. Could look neat.
