Vehicle Description
This car began its life as a Cadillac hearse. It was transformed
into the "Pirate Surf Mobile" by art car builder Richard Fletcher.
From the double front axle to the two-tone blue-and-gold paint,
this 28-foot-long vehicle really stands out from the crowd. The
front grille boasts a large skull and crossbones, and the hood has
been completely removed. In its place, we see an engine with a
variety of original customizations. The exhaust exits the engine
just before the firewall through a pair of unusually shaped
four-into-one exhaust manifolds with no mufflers. The cartoon-like
intake manifold towers above the engine bay. The rear of the car
retains more of its Cadillac heritage, though it still contains a
number of cosmetic embellishments. After having traveled around a
lot in his youth, Fletcher - similar to George Barris in the
automotive world - came to Phoenix in February 1979, where he
became a manufacturer of special cars for the cinema and actors. It
only needs wiring throughout to be a running, driving vehicle. It
has working brakes and can be towed by a golf cart or truck. **SOLD
