StevenGuthmiller Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Um......I would call that slightly over done. Not sure what's actually under there, but the front end appears to be from an early '60s Imperial. Steve
Rob Hall Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 IIRC, that monstrosity is two 70s Mercedes E-class wagons fused together with a ton o' crud added on. Can see the Mercedes wheel on the left front.

What a Frankenstein! Steve
cobraman Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Any one want to build a 1/25 scale replica ? No ? I didn't think so.
iamsuperdan Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 I'm not even sure one could figure out where to begin with a replica of that thing! Anyone have pics of the interior?
Deano Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 I don't think you'd have to worry on parking lots; no one would WANT to park near enough to ding it.
iamsuperdan Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 If someone did ding you, would you even notice?
Dragline Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Something tells me that the owner would notice a ding. I'll wager he knows every inch of that thing.
KWT Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Any one want to build a 1/25 scale replica ? No ? I didn't think so. Done...
