The owner is going to be entering it into the local car show held in July called "Car d'Alene." (Is that a great name for a car show?) It's coming up June 13-14 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
I think this was the first such "Cabover" I have ever seen.

I dont know about this one... although it may be dated, I wouldnt take a corner to sharp and unless the breaks are calibrated for 30% forward and 70% rear, I wouldnt hit the breaks too hard either! just sayin...

Fuel stations are a good place to run across gas hogs. My 1970 Cadillac used to get a lot of attention at the filling station.

Wonder how it drives. Seems like it would be prone to tip over around curves or turns. Also seems like it would do spins in the rain or smooth surface. I have a hard time visualizing someone taking this out in the mud. Why didn’t someone didn’t put a standard height suspension and tires so it would be drivable?
This is like a large coffee table. IMHO. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

No kidding! Caution is the watchword when driving that beast!
The owner was going to his kid’s baseball game after he left the station and I saw it a few minutes later at the local ball field.

I thought huge Mickey Thompson Baja off-road tires would have looked good on it rather than those big semi-truck tires. They almost look like aircraft landing tires.

Yeah, that one will not take long to end up destroyed.
Hopefully the owner is a smart feller.

Yes, I believe it has the handling characteristics of a Conestoga wagon.

More like a Herkimer Battle Jitney.

That is very cool!
I have a mid-90s Ford truck with the next-gen (from the FE) 385-series big block 7.5 liter V8. Ford made that engine series from 1968 to 1997.
I tend to frequent gas stations when driving it a lot. I would have to incorporate the truck if it were a daily driver so I could write off the fuel expense.
Someone seems to want to buy it off me every time I go to an auto parts store in it.

Photos are right after the first paragraph in the “excerpt.”
I see them and others see them.
I’ve had a lot of problems with ExpressVPN blocking photos from showing. I hosted the pics at catbox.moe. Are you using a VPN? If yes, try turning it off.
