    It's got a way-back back back.

    Brakes are always bad on one of those - drove one in the 70's - they're not big enough to stop a empty car, let alone one full of passengers!!

    If you were going to stay with drums all the way around, you would want the 8 lug wheels. Otherwise, a conversion to 4 wheel discs is a MUST. Have to say, it is certainly unique! Not quite sure what you would do with something like this unless you happen to have 12 or more kids kicking around the house.

    I've always loved these airport limos, the are just so big. I thought it was a mistake that it was listed as a 6 door, they are usually 8. But then I noticed that there are only 2 doors on the drivers side instead of the usual 4. I would prefer a roof rack instead of the enclosed luggage box. Whoever buys it has a lot of work ahead of them.
    I went to a surplus auction at Cape Canaveral back in the '80s. They had 2 early '70s Pontiac sedan 8-door limos in the sale, they sold for around $1200 each. I think I had 300 or 400 dollars with me, oh well. They had been used by NASA during the heyday of the astronaut program
