Chuck Most Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 First, an explaination... If you believe everything you read on the internet, this car (a '62 Dodge Dart limo wagon) was built for the Vatican, but ended up at a Catholic church in Kentucky, where it remained in service for many years. It turned up on eBay a while back, powered by a V10 truck engine and 6-speed manual, and looked as if it had been given a 'restofication' by a group of semi-mental Chimps. That being said, I wouldn't mind having one... I'm pretty sure this thing is real.
Casey Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 It's real, but the shop/people who purchased it added the engine, trans and Vette suspension, took it on the Hot Rod Power Tour in '10 ('09 maybe?), then tried to re-sell it again. It was a quick throw together build from what I recall seeing in progress pics over at www.moparts.com
Funkster Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 looks to be some kind of airport limo, there was a place in missiori that made them cars.
george 53 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 The thing should be entered in Hot Rod Magazines "Best beaters in America" contest!!!! Did it compete in the Hot Rod road trip??? I never saw it before. :D
MikeMc Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I'm not sure even Bill Geary could cut out and hinge these doors...........
