2008 Ford F750 World Cruiser

  • Auctioneers: Mecum

This custom mobile home and pickup truck was specially created for Peter Dunkel, a partner in Dunkel Brother Machinery Moving, a company that moves very big things. (Among the things Dunkel Brothers has moved was the Space Shuttle Endeavor from Los Angeles airport to the California Space Center.)

Dunkel spent over $6 million to create the World Cruiser which he calls "The mother of all multipurpose vehicles." The rear truck bed can carry four tons of cargo. Two auxiliary fuel tanks carry 60 gallons of fuel. There are sleeping quarters, a full bathroom with a shower, a complete kitchen and, of course, a lounge area with a flat screen TV. There is also a Kenwood entertainment system with an exterior 10-inch subwoofer to "rock the neighborhood," as the catalog description puts it. (The other folks at the KOA Campground will love you.)

All this is pulled down the highway by a Caterpillar diesel engine putting out 1,200 foot pounds of torque.
