Another Custom Something-or-Other

Let’s see, this has a rear trailing arm (with diff!) from a Honda Goldwing, transaxle from a VW Beetle and a three-cylinder diesel engine from Caterpillar, which means some sort of construction equipment.  How can you NOT buy this beauty?

Yes, this beast is in my home state and is claimed to be “drivable, but just barely.”  The seller points out that it need unspecified front suspension work, which is a confidence-inspiring statement.  Also, it needs fabric doors and top, in case you’d consider piloting this in inclement weather.

In the run-on sentence which the seller calls a description, there is a mention of “slight damage.”  What is the damage??

The really good news is that the seller says that the buyer will have the right to copy or produce!  Eat your heart out, Elio, this could make production in no time!  Nevermind structural rigidity and crash safety…

This qualifies as unique.

Here’s a peak at that odd engine.

Interior has some nice-looking sports seats. Harnesses may be good or bad news – you might be better off being ejected?  Also, is that porthole a T-Bird homage?

Firewall is easy to see and service.  I’m not sure what the white box is – CD changer?

Up front…no engine.  Gas tank and some ancillary components are visible.

Here’s the engine and what I think is the radiator.

Here’s another angle with more covers in place (?).
