I am selling my beautiful, one of a kind, Damiler Pickup Truck. I have owned it for 5 months, but the wife says that something has to go, and I figured it was cheaper to get rid of the vehicle than the wife. This vehicle started life at the Daimler Factory (then owned by Jaguar) as a DS240 Limo, but before completion, it was sent to another factory, and it became a Hearse. It spent many fine years as a Hearse, and was brought over to the U.S. in around 1998. It was converted to a comfortable tow vehicle/pickup truck by local Daimler expert, Bob Boston. The drive train is all 1987 Jaguar, with the exception of a GM turbo 400 automatic transmission. The engine is a 4.2L DOHC 6 cylinder engine, with dual S.U. carbs, and Jaguar rear end. The fuel tanks are 2 12 gallon tanks, with a switch on the console for choosing tanks. The odometer reads, 80,000, but is broken, so true mileage is unknown. A compression check on the engine shows 145 to 150 on all cylinders. Tune up, oil change, and radiator flushing was completed less than 100 miles ago. There are five matching Jaguar XJR wheels, with five nearly new radial tires. The cab was modified using a donor Hearse, with a opening rear hatch, and plenty of bed space. The car was repainted in December, 2009. The interior is from a Lincoln Navigator, with a $6,000 custom interior and bed cover. Additionally, the vehicle also has electric windows, a 17,000 BTC air conditioner, and is right hand drive. They only areas that could be corrected, is the flat plate glass window behind the drivers side is cracked (it was made by a glass dealer, and is plain flat glass, not expensive), and the wood on the dash could be touched up/refinished. Everything else is complete This vehicle is extremely comfortable to drive, (it was built as a Limo), and has been used on long trips. This is your once in a lifetime opportunity to truly own a truly one of a kind vehicle, that would be a great tow truck for your race cars, etc, for a very low price. The vehicle is located in the Atlanta area. Good luck bidding, and I hope you will have as much fun with the vehicle as I did. Shipping is at the owners expense. I will be happy to meet your shipper when he picks up the vehicle at my house. Note: If you have a Bidding History of 5 or less, your Bid will be removed.
