If autofug were a country, this would be it's leader.


Wish I had more info butI can't speak the language in the video. It appears to have been filmed in Florida, however.

It appears to be mostly Mercedes wagon based, although you would think it may need a larger engine to push all that mass around. It's possibly a Chevrolet truck diesel, given that the engine sounds a bit larger than a Benz unit to my ears (and there's a random Chevrolet emblem front and centre on the hood). Other notable pieces are Chrysler Imperial headlights and pieces of older Cadillacs wedged in the bodywork.

I'm actually kind of impressed that it's actually driveable, and that the rear wheel steering seems to work so effectively. For the looks of it, you would think it would collapse in on itself with any movement at all.








Update:

It's for sale! It's 29 feet long and weights 7500 pounds! He hopes to get $950,000, which is about 100 times to more than it's worth.
