Craigslist Find: What The Hell Is This Thing?


Craigslist Find: What The Hell Is This Thing?

We received a tip on this vehicle from our pal Brady Basner at Powermaster Starters and Alternators. He was as perplexed as we are about what this thing actually is. There is no discernable bits to the frame or body to denote an actual “original” vehicle that this was built off of, it has a Wisconsin engine, and even the seller thinks that it could be used as a “mud toy” or a “parade vehicle” or a “logging truck”. We’re not sure why the hell you’d drive this thing into the woods to drag logs out, but you could do that we guess. You could also put wings on the side to see if it will fly but we’re guessing that will be a non starter as well.

We can’t tell if the four “shocks” on the front of the little trucklet thing are real or “simulated” but they certainly look interesting. The body looks to be hand formed from sheet metal and while the zoomie pipes out back are a nice touch, they probably don’t have two much bite with what amounts to a lawn mower engine breathing through them. Another angle that the seller pushes is that this creation is great for parades! What in the hell makes this thing good for parades? Can anyone explain that one to us?

We’re out of words, so scroll down and see more photos of this creation and then hit the link to see the full story!

    The onlookers conversation went something like this……….

    “What is it?”…..”not sure!”

    “What’s it worth??”……..”I dunno, what’s it weigh?”

    The grave digger comment is spot on. But what a piece o’ crap this thing is. The guy doesn’t even claim to be selling it as a fake grave digger, so even he is ashamed of it.

    It reminds me of the 1950s Willys Jeep panel trucks. I think Honey Boo Boo would be proud to own this toy.

    A little too much junk radiator and rubbing al-kee-hol moonshine in that PARTICULAR corner of Tennessee, apparently.

    It is awesome for parades! It would give people something to make fun of. It also probably tops out at 5mph. Come on BS guys, of course it hauls “logs” as long as you consider this is a “truck”. Or maybe this awesome gokart hauls firewood, it’s all about how you out it. I personally would buy it for my kids to drive around over a Wallymart electric jeep.
