A classic Lincoln Zephyr in proper running
condition, would be good enough for most car guys, but this highly modified
example is just out of this world.
Rebuilt from the ground up using a 1939 Zephyr as
the foundation stone, it now features a longer, wider, and lower stance, and
despite sporting an entirely new appearance, it's still instantly recognizable
as a Zephyr.
Inside, it retains the original dashboard, steering
wheel, and seats, albeit with a modern touch brought by the black gloss bits,
and two-tone leather upholstery that covers pretty much every surface of the
seats, doors, and others.
Not sure what it hides beneath that long
bonnet, but since it's able to spit flames from the double exhaust pipes that
flank the 'KultLdr' license plate, as revealed in one of the images, we're
guessing that the stock 4.4-liter V12 engine, which produced a humble 110
horses, has been replaced by something meaner.
Getting to own this Lincoln Zephyr hot rod will
probably require placing another mortgage on your house, and then some, as the
car, which is believed to come from Storage Wars' star Barry Weiss' personal
collection, could retail from US$ 300,000 to US$ 400,000, at the RMSothebys auction
in Santa Monica, California, on June 24-25.
