don't be calling my car aboat

Some have said something about the "boat" I'm driving. I will show them this and say no , this is a boat...

This "thing" is a Chevy LUV truck cab and a boat on a VW pan. No it don't belong to me!

Is it just the body as pictured above or does that thing actually have an engine and everything in it?

What happens when you open the doors? I have my suspicions that it goes Titanic without the iceberg.

The builder has passed away and the project is now in a local junkyard. He was well known locally for building things like this. It's unclear whether he intended for this to actually float or was to be land locked. It had a Porsche engine , which disappeared pretty quickly when it hit the junkyard.

Wow, nice! Do you know what kind of Porsche engine, though?

Just because something can be done,doesnt mean it should be done...

The engine came from a 914 I think. This same guy drove a Morris Minor pickup with a small block Chevy engine. At one time he drove a mid 70s Chevy van with a small block relocated to mid engine and a Briggs and Stratton 8HP engine where the engine was originally. He loved to park it with the hood open knowing people went away thinking the van was powered by the B&S. He converted several Vehicles to propane over the years. His homebuilt helicopter would be a topic for another forum I suppose. Quite a character.
