You could either buy a nice supercar for $325,000+ USD, or this 1963 Gillig Model 590H bus turned enclosed hauler. You can imagine the wear and tear on a bus with nearly six decades of use, which meant that the current owner had to put in some major work to get it looking brand new again. First, they had to reskin the exterior in aluminum, finished in red and gray, before adding the Porsche crests on the sides as well as rear.
Next, the right side and rear doors had to be rebuilt, while side and rear-view cameras make parking this behemoth a bit easier. Custom windows, right-side LED lamps, overhead beehive taillights, a receiver hitch, and underbody storage compartments are just an added bonus. Budd aluminum wheels powder-coated gray wrapped in Michelin XZE2 11R22.5 radial tires ensure that it can handle most roads, while the power-assisted steering, hydraulics, air suspension, drum brakes, and air brakes were all rebuilt. Power comes from a 7.0-liter Detroit Diesel 6-71 turbodiesel inline-six engine from 1959 that was rebuilt by Clarke Power Services of Cincinnati, Ohio, in April 2015, paired with an Allison automatic transmission.
