Saw this today when I made a junkyard run. Thought for sure it was Jed Clampett's chick magnet. They told me it's a 1960 airport taxi. Couldn't believe the size of that thing.

GRUMPYONE · 03-04-2009, 12:19 AM

That is cool, is it for sale. Like to take my daughter to the prom in that.

67_C-30 · 03-04-2009, 12:21 AM

WOW! That thing is very cool. You wouldn't be missed in it!

It's for sale. He wants 4K for it. Don't know any details about it, like engine, tranny, etc. It would definitely make a heckuva party wagon.

GRUMPYONE · 03-04-2009, 12:27 AM

Man anybody loan me some cash lol. I would like to get my hands on that, but cant swing it now. Hopefully someone will get it and put it on the road.

allen123 · 03-04-2009, 12:30 AM

That thing is cool I wouldnt mind rolling up to prom in that this year but i bet my date prob wont have the same kind of taste as me

*Puropedo* · 03-04-2009, 12:45 AM

Norske, Does that thing have doors on the drivers side?

**too much stuff** · 03-04-2009, 12:47 AM

That is cool. Not sure if i would have enough yard to turn around in...

*ksjh1316* · 03-04-2009, 12:54 AM

I need that!!! Thank God it is so far away and wont fit in the garage or I would be on the way

drivethechevy · 03-04-2009, 12:59 AM

that thing is HUUUGGGEEE!

as unpractical as that would be i want it
can u imagine trying to backup with it or drive it anywhere that has a signifigant amount of traffic

Skirkpat · 03-04-2009, 01:12 AM

I have seen that one or one like it before, Pretty cool rig for the tailgating !!!

IvelDesigns · 03-04-2009, 01:18 AM

sweet googa-mooga!

**Captainfab** · 03-04-2009, 01:26 AM

That's cool....there used to be one similar to that around here, but don't know what happened to it.

**fine69** · 03-04-2009, 02:20 AM

Dang, that is PIMP.

I know what i want now.

Gotta sell some stuff.

Wilson_ · 03-04-2009, 07:24 AM

I saw one like that a few years back at Hot August Nights

Joey~AP · 03-04-2009, 09:04 AM

Wow!

Rogue · 03-04-2009, 11:56 AM

My brother just finished a rebuild on a 1962 Belair airport limo.
It had 4 doors on one side and only a front and rear door on the other.
It now has 8 functional doors.

ElkyRacer · 03-04-2009, 12:12 PM

Someones going to say it, wanna get some good pix of the 2nd door? Like opened up, pix of what they did to make that work. Those doors look great, with not too much of a filler panel.

X2.....I noticed that they used a universal looking slider window in the doors as well as in the back beyond the doors. Similar to the Suburban sliders but appear smaller.

I had missed the sliders. They would be a lot cheaper than making a new regulator.

jchav62 · 03-04-2009, 12:20 PM

That would make a sweet tour bus for the band! CRAZY!

kizer · 03-04-2009, 12:59 PM

Wow, could you say door parts truck? Wow

MacAttack · 03-04-2009, 01:13 PM

$4k is a steal! Would make a great surf wagon!

Needs one of those special rear ends where the rear wheels move with the front a bit.

kizer · 03-04-2009, 01:17 PM

Hahah, Dual steering would be really cool. Could you imagine pulling in and trying to parallel park that thing? You'd have to do it with Walkie Talkies becasue hand signals isn't going to cut it on that bad boy.

Surf Wagon? Your talking at least 6 boards on that thing. Man its HUGE.

**Corts60** · 03-04-2009, 01:29 PM

Why is it that rich and famous people have no taste in cars/trucks? If I were a millionare, you bet I'd find one of those and make a modern limo out of it! To hell with Hummers, Lincolns, etc.....
