Hey all!
 
Well don't ask how I came across this gem on eBay...  it is the wierdest thing I have ever seen, and only God and the person who built it knows WHY it was built.  Check out item # 130058164996 here:

Any ideas what this thing was created for?  I also have this urge to place a bid on it...  LOL!

WOW that is unique.  I think I will pass on it.  It is really hard to pass it up, but with the holidays...:D

It doesn't appear to be able to pop up.

I love the opening lines of his description...

"Here it is! I am not sure what "it" actually is but when I saw it I had  to have it.......when my wife saw it I had to get rid of it, my horrific loss is your gain."

I cant believe people are actually bidding on that thing!! If i brought that thing home my wife would probably throw me out and i would be living in that........

WOW!  And there are actuatly BIDS on it!  It brings the D.C. snipers to mind.....

All indications are that about ANYTHING outlandish posted for sale on eBay will provide a buyer. Anything, except maybe some regular thing that you want to sell for a fair price ... then nobody will bid on it!

You know, I think I know what this was/is.  I think it was a mobile command center for wilderness search/rescue operations.  My reasons:

1) It's a Crown Vic, i.e. police car.
2) Lots of radio capability.  Original juristiction would have removed the government radios (police, fire, etc.) and replaced them with cb/stereos (or more likely, a subsequent owner replaced them) when they got rid of it.
3) That desk - I could see some Civil Defense type sitting there trying to keep track of who had searched where and where the search teams are now.

Beyond that, it's "just a feeling".  Somebody put some time and a little money into making it what it is.

What would I do with it?  Sell it on eBay, of course.

Is Nolensville, Tennessee near a leaking nuclear reactor?  Drugs? Alcohol?

Actually, Nolensville is within a stone's throw of Nashville.  Maybe that thing was used to bust illegal stills in the eastern part of the state.

Here is what convinced me that I should get it.
 
"On the Passenger side directly across from the Glove Box Compartment is a removable panel that covers the custom enclosure for that Air Craft Battery I mentioned earlier, it is a nice enclosusure, does not move around and the lid is secured by a bungee cord that I will include in this sale."
 
He is including a bungee cord in the sale!:D
 
This part is even better.
 
"it does have 2 custom made pillows made out of the same material the curtains are made of, they are filled with...........................leaves and sticks................."

Maybe you put the "pillows" in the empty space under the nice vinyl flooring.:D
