This is a Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo vessel (L.A.R.C.). It is a barge on wheels, but… it IS a car! Merch: Hats: …

Horrible little note, when the BARCs were brand new they were rated at 20mph on land and about 7.5mph in the water. Probably somewhere just over 1000hp and 2000ft/lbs of torque out of the four engines and something in the range of 38-50 gallons of fuel an hour. Apparently the vast majority of BARCs were sunk off the coast of Vietnam rather than deal with the expense of shipping them back home.

If you're in the Military, they have a LARC at Fort Eustis

Call the Bus Grease Monkey – he works on all things Detroit Diesel and could probably get that thing going.

Lane motor museum, such a dope place. Never expected such a large European car collection in Nashville

This video was quite a lark.
I bet it handles like a barge.

I was gonna make an "I'm surprised you found this thing on eBay" comment but then I heard it was from Florida so that explained everything.

Hey, you went to the Lane Motor Museum! I live near there, it's an awesome museum. Hope you saw their collection. They've got tons of superbly weird and interesting vehicles.

From the right angle at the right Distance it has a very late 1960s and 1970s muscle car aesthetic.
With those power plants it should qualify.

I have a picture in front of this thing when I visited Lane in 2016. Kickass.

these guys well beyond the point when i actually think should i watch a certain video or not. review some boat, garbage bin, a fucking delorean for, like, fourth time – i'll eat it. automotive reviews is all downhill after subaru legacy outback anyway, and i am not talking about rcr, i'm talking car reviews as a genre

2 minutes in and he describes exactly how it got there by Tugboat , city shut down, police help, etc.. and then a couple minutes pass and he asks if they used the police …smh.
