I came across this very unique Class C on E-bay. So very different that I thought I'd post a link here. Looks like the company built it for a retiring worker in 1970. Very nice job I think.

Now that's COOL. I'll bet that thing'll bake the front tires right off with that weight in the back!

I wonder if Jay Leno put any bids on it.

That's a current listing?

That vehicle was advertised on EBay several months ago. I wonder if the reserve was never met, a sale fell through, or a buyer is reselling it?

The GMC Motorhome line, same era, also used the Tornado drivetrain.

Very cool. The RV Hall of Fame should buy it for their collection.

We are looking for our DS first car/truck/suv so I showed this to him and he just shook his head and walked out of the room.

No accounting for taste I guess.

Very COOL!
