26 wheels it could probably hold up to
about 75 people if we wanted to put them
in it later on today we're going to land
a helicopter on it it has a putting
green
it has a pool
[Music]
this was the original record holder for
the longest car slash limousine in the
world the original design was by jay
allberg out of burbank california in the
80s and today we've beaten the record by
a fraction but it is still longer than
it was originally
when i found the car was in very poor
condition i'd say on a scale of one to
ten it was
minus
one
i found the car in new jersey it was
riding behind a warehouse and i put a
bid on it and i wanted i was completely
rusted through to the ground basically a
piece of junk i had the car in new york
for eight years
i had it shipped down here to florida
mike actually had it shipped down mike
deser mike's vision was to restore it on
the way down
the hood blew off the car on 95.
never to be found again i don't know
where it is so thankfully we had three
donor cars we took one of the hoods we
started the restoration project about
two and a half years ago it was it was
august it was hot here in florida
we set a game plan
so we took three donor cars we cut them
up we replaced the whole cab of the car
so we could drive it
the engine was replaced all the tires
were replaced helipad was redone the
pool was redone on the inside of the
vehicle we have seating for passengers
we have carpeting we have leather we
have vinyl we have led lighting this can
be configured for any type of party any
type of design that you'd want but it
can hold up to 75 people any day to week
what i found surprising with the car is
when we started fixing it and we started
taking it apart it was six eldorados
that were put together but the middle
section had to be fabricated from
scratch
and it kind of reminds you of the
construction of a bridge
i mean just an enormous undertaking to
do this type of job
six
eldorados each one of them weighed just
a little over five thousand pounds
so we used six of them but we didn't use
every part of them so when you add the
steel in i would say 25 000 pounds would
be a good guess maybe we'll weigh it one
day and we'll really find out there are
pictures of this limousine with the
helicopter but there is no actual
footage of that helicopter landing on it
and we're going to do it today here at
desolate
the main difficulty in driving this car
is finding straight roads for it to turn
you need you need a real wide radius
because of the length of it similar to
what the president does he has to map
out his route to where he's going that's
what we would have to do we would have
to map out a route and know where we're
going to turn it's not for everyday
driving obviously we talked about maybe
turn it into an electric vehicle that
would take 26 motors one for each wheel
the battery i don't know how big it's
going to be but we have plenty of room
for that battery
so maybe you'll see the biggest electric
vehicle in the world
people react to the car
like they can't believe that it's even
real they think it's like a model in a
magazine but when they see it even in
the condition before it was restored
it was an attraction
[Music]
the vehicle is
30.538 meters long
which is a hundred feet
and one and a half inches long for
everybody doesn't use meters
congratulations
this is officially amazing
you know you kind of see something
that's almost impossible to do
and it's a challenge and you say i could
do it people say you're crazy but we did
it and here it is
and eventually we're going to extend it
i don't know how long we're going to
make it but i guess as long as we can
the sky's the
limit or the road's delivered
