In reply to RossD :
That seems like a REALLY good deal. Are you within a reasonable distance to go take a look at it / help facilitate a purchase ?
That thing has one hellacious driveshaft.
It's easily worth that just because the inside doesn't look like a triple homicide investigation.
Though the ad says 1966, square headlights were not legal until 1976.
Typo? Retrofit?
I see a tow strap on the rear bumper. If it's a non runner, make sure you have a solid understanding of how you'll get it out of there.... $$$$
In reply to Indy-Guy :
Being that it's on the far side of Milwaukee, its a bit too far for me to check out.
There are a few GRMers in that area between Milwaukee and Chicago area.
Looks like SmokinDav is near by, so I sent him a message. Let's see where it goes.

There's also a bungie on the steering wheel, this thing has been getting drug around.
It's still the coolest thing I've seen today, you should totally buy it Indy guy 
.
Texted the seller. He says it's a 1966 with a 518 Big Block. Ran last year. Needs a starter.
If I hadn't just bought a Class A that would be so tempting.

It is a conversion I think. I do not see much Wanderlodge left there, although that does not mean it is not worth the ask.
I know where there’s a Super Duty 7.3L.

Where do you begin to look for a starter for that beast? AdvanceReillyNapaZone?
I was concerned about the tow strap. Maybe get a starter, starting fluid and purchase is based on firing or not. Although you could wind up starring in a Roadkill episode of your own... A good support vehicle would be advised.

My .02 cents. If you think the BMW gave you a headache, this will probably give you migraines.

I believe that it is Cleveland based, but who knows what the stater is?
I'm with SVreX, this needs a Powerstroke swap

Could that be a Dodge 518 transmission and a big block motor? 518 is a size I've never heard of, unless it is a Super Duty engine like Cooter said with some strange crank/bore combo.
Lots of space in there!
In reply to Sk1dmark :
The 518 didn't come out until 1990, and was only used behind small block MoPars.
The engine shown in the CL as is not a modern engine, nor is is MoPar.
Wasn't there a stroker kit for the ford 460 that made a roughly 512-520 inch engine?

Shows what I know about American iron! Good call, I'm clueless, but love that thing. My vote goes to the Powerstroke swap too.
