    Hot piss. The Unithing isn't just impossible to source parts for, it's impossible to transport, too.


    The Lincoln? Nobody knows a damn thing about it, so they won't know if you screw it up, will they? Cake.

    It takes talent to make a Unimog a less capable vehicle, but here we are.

    @flyboy333: Wow! My brother has a '66 GMC Snowplow with just the regular 351 in it, and that is one of the torquiest gas engines I've ever driven. Cast two together.... Holy Moley!

    @coupeZ600: Actually, it's (sort of) 2 305 V-6s in a V-12 block with 4 305 V-6 heads. I assume the 702 figure is reached by boring and stroking, since the 351 is a Ford motor.

    OK, Lincoln.

    The Mog is just a ramshackle contraption that might run or not run, for awhile, might be abandoned and used as a shed or a treehouse--but it's never going to be a vehicle per se. So I disqualify it as a car.

    The Linc embodies PCH--could be so cool---but in reality will never look like your dream version and will break your heart and empty your wallet.

    MOGZILLA! FUCK YEAH!


    I know that isn't how the song goes, but screw it. It's a Mog wearing tires that put a Gleaner combine to shame.

    MOGZILLA gets my vote too. That thing is one seriously FUBARed machine, and the Lincoln at least would have some old skool hot rod cred if you restored it. The 'mog, on the other hand, has had most of it's awesome engineered away.


    I suppose the real question is whether you want to be popular with crazy rednecks or crazy old men at vintage car shows.


    By the way, Murilee, what mental disorder do I have if I immediately thought that DSM stood for Diamond Star Motors?

    I had to vote ZILLA, but they both suck. Both are too much money for what they are, the Lincoln has the upside of being possibly drivable when complete, but that is one of the most hideous pieces of automotive "art" that I've seen. The Mog would at least look pretty cool after you gather the pieces from all over the globe.

    Got to go with MOGZILLA. Yes, the Lincoln would be painfully cool, but even if we don't know it's exact history we still have a decent understanding of what it is.


    MOGZILLA, not so much. All we really know is that it's got a unimog body (no hell there), some big ass tires (probable hell), and it's currently in pieces scattered across Florida (Just read that last bit again, you're going to be "extra crispy" before any real work even gets started).

    The Rockwell axles out of the Dueces can run either way...you just flip the center-section around.


    Of course, you need either a forklift or engine hoist to pick up the multi-hundred point center section...but that's a minor detail.

    Of COURSE he's listing it for a friend, nobody wants to be caught dead listing something as ridiculous as the MOGZILLA and still expect people to still consider his antique collection of Cabbage Patch kids, still in their unopened boxes.
