So you always wanted a Corvette, but couldn’t justify having a car that could only seat two people? Here’s the answer! Listed for sale here on craigslist and located in Mesa, Arizona, this longest C4 Corvette ever (okay, prove me wrong, although I did find another one here!) is for sale for $14,000. Can you say “road trip!” Rocco B. was kind enough to send us this elongated find!
I’m not sure of the significance of the Ohio State plate on the front of the car; perhaps it was used for l-o-n-g (get it?) tailgating trips back to Columbus? Or perhaps “extended” drives? Maybe “lengthy” tours of the countryside? I know, Scotty’s better at the quips than I am — keep on the topic, Jamie. Here are links to a C3 limo and a C5 or C6 limo if you are interested in more of these unusual drawn-out vehicles!
There does seem to be a little bit of body damage at the driver’s side front door, and I’m not sure if the hood was just left ajar for the pictures or if it is difficult to close. The other thing that gets me that is visible in this picture is the not-so-great match between the original Corvette side windows and the center section ones. I’m not sure I could have designed it any better given the assignment, though.
I’m surprised to learn that there are very few pictures of the inside, and what there are show only four seats in the passenger compartment! Lots of leg room for NBA players! I wonder if they left the independent rear suspension under there for ride comfort, or converted to a solid rear axle to handle the load? And why do you need so many cup holders if there are only four passengers?
Would you like to occupy one of these leather buckets? Or would you rather drive this lengthy ‘Vette? Or perhaps you’re going to tell me to take a “long” walk off a short pier for even suggesting such a thing? Tell us about the oddest limo you’ve ever seen (if it’s not this one!) in the comments!
Shades of Mystery Men and Casanova Frankenstein! Disco is NOT dead!
Ya think it may change the handling characteristics of the vette some?
So Bizarre herr Kommissar
He’s in town?
Don’t turn around!
Why all the cupholders??
Four seats and four laps.
Chasers.
Man this is perfect for what i want to do with it put lift on it and bigger tires here I go to work. And I will never have to worry about gas I work at a gas station.
Yikes. No? Yes. No.
Yep… exactly my response. Yes. No. Yes. No. well.. maybe … I’m torn between WTH were they thinking, and WOW, that’s so cool
That would be fun to show up with to a track day. One you’d never be able to show your face at again, but fun.
I’ve seen a couple of these. Couldn’t believe it then, can’t believe it now.
Would they turn you around if you showed up with this thing at a Vette meet? Tell the meet coordinators you’re interested in going for Bloomington Gold. Watch them cringe and suddenly disappear.
Who would do this to a Vette?
…But I like the story lead in. 😀
Thanks! :-)
I bet that car has fueled the consumption of more cocaine than gasoline.
Didn’t these have the trans in the rear ? Long driveshaft. Strange no rear pics
just google American dream limousine, or look up jay ohrberg, cocaine is a hell of a drug
Ha! I worked with Jay for a while, have known him for years. He had a 30′ Ferrari (Fiero), a 30′ Pink Mercedes 450 with a heart-shaped pool on the deck, a ‘wide’ limo (for little reason) and the aforementioned American Dream, which served show crowds all over the world for over a decade. It now sits moldering on a stretch of Jersey shore because its too sh*tty to crush.
Not sure about Jay’s Coke intake, I think he divorced the source of that element of his life. He’s a good guy.
my bad to assume coke was involved, just looking at his crazy cars from the 70’s 80’s one would assume. the super wide was one car I will always remember, how fun would it be to be involved making those crazy cars!!!!
I have a White ’94 Vette. After seeing this thing I had to pinch myself, I thought I was having a nightmare.
Coolest C4 I’ve ever seen.
$14K , I think there is that much fun here , needs a lift kit and some 33’s on it . Let the good times roll (just not over on the roof) . I’m just glad it’s far away from me .
I wonder how much profit is made past the initial outlay to build it? Is it lucrative to build these limos? Do they even use software to assure the integrity of their build? Or is it over engineered and they used twin “eye”-beams for subframe connectors? 😬
At the risk of sounding like a time-worn barnfinds cliche, “just because you can doesn’t mean you should”.
I would not want that thing in any fleet I would own. Too fragile and too expensive. As you can tell I am not a Corvette fan.
I can see this thing hung up on a railroad crossing. A set of 33’s would solve that problem.
Is it just me or does it look like the builder grafted the nose and tail from a ‘Vette onto the passenger compartment of a Lincoln? Am I the only one who sees a Lincoln Town car in the center of this abomination?
