Back in July of 2015, Jeff wrote up a neat muffler mobile that was a roadster. Unlike that one, this was based on a 1982 Mazda pickup truck, so it’s actually usable every day as a promotional/shop run around vehicle. Calling all you independent muffler shops! It’s located in Perham, South Dakota and is available here on craigslist for $4,800. Thanks to Olaf E. for this great find!
If the bed is still available back there, it would be more useful to haul tubing for a shop. I’m guessing it is, because the truck is actually listed as a “parade truck”. I’m guessing perhaps the local homecoming queen sat in the back with her court for the parade? This shot has me wondering if you could go with a yellow submarine theme as well, if you wanted to change things up. Yes, I have to admit, the 24 Hours of LeMons has gone through my mind as I’ve been looking these pictures over. The seller tells us there’s only 3,000 miles on a rebuilt engine, so maybe the reliability would be there for racing!
“Only what you need at a price guaranteed.” Sounds like a successful slogan! It must be nice to own a muffler shop when you need custom-bent tube bumpers! I’m guessing it’s a good advertising tool for those folks that want vertical stacks, too.
Can you see this outside your muffler shop? Or do you want to race a muffler? Or maybe that fake submarine idea appeals to you? Tell me this–if you were given this vehicle tomorrow, what would you do with it?
I saw this on another site. You cropped to much of the picture of the back of the truck. Everyone should take a close look at the shadow of the photographer and have a good laugh. LOL.
Perfect angle too. LOL
We try to make the images as nice as possible…but yes, I laughed too :-)
Once you see it, you can’t unsee it anymore.
For the caption on the funny original photo…..How does the saying go….No muff too tough, no pipe too tight!
Stick a potato/ no pumpkin in the tail pipe, open windows an inch, turn on fog machine inside cab.
Don’t use the fog machine used by cheech and chong.
Thanks for keeping the pictures Rated G.
O.K., I give up. What did they do with the door, and how do you get in?
There was a car like this in my area in DE. I believe it was a 60’s Pontiac Catalina four door. Sat in front of a Midas muffler shop. The owner would drive it home every day. This was back in the early 80’s. Very funny to see it drive down the road.
