Post apocolyptic car/boat.

It looks kind of neat. Rather pricey though.

Doesn't look like a very fast getaway vehicle on land or water....and there isn't a whole lot of room for survival gear. Who spends all that time and money to build such a thing anyhow?

Boats are crazy expensive. It's not that bad and you get that fancy trailer too.

This one is used a 2009 Rybovich and costs $6,500,000.00



And this is Bernie maddoff's 1969 Rybo Bull at $1,000,000.00. she is all wood and maintenance is the better side of $100,000.00 per year. That does not include operating costs.

This guy has been around for years & really is amazing. Do a search for his Pontiac J2000 I think it was,from the early 80's. 2 blowers,2 superchargers etc.

An over the top engineering showcar at that time. He used to have a shop not far from me.

I'd rather have a Raptor pickemup for touring the Eastern Oregon desert...

That has to be the best documented vehicle I've ever seen on eBay!
