Convertible pickup, but not a Dakota or SSR

The best cars are measured in length, and what’s more manly than saying you have 21 feet at your disposal?

Ebay ad, while it lasts
Update:  Someone actually paid $4,800 for this thing!  I guess it would cost a lot more to duplicate…

Crew cab = fun for the whole family!  This must be a pinnacle of structural rigidity. Why didn’t Ford think of this??

Bonus points for three pedals!
The ad claims this is a 350. Did they really keep parts of this looking so original and yet swap a SBC into a Ford?  Perhaps it’s a 351…

It does seem that someone thought about rigidit – interesting solution and the pipe insulation is a nice touch.  This should do fine in IIHS crash testing.  I guess the eyelet is related to the top?

Did I mention a top?  Yes, there is one.  Someone put some time into this, unless a boat cover happened to fit.  I’d like to see if held on this sandbags…
