Well, this one is certainly interesting. It's a 1993 Freightliner truck converted into an enclosed car transporter, but it has a few quirks. First, it's designed primarily to transport supercars like run-of-the-mill Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, etc. Second, it comes with a fully equipped kitchen and a separate toilet.
Before we get into the specs, we should mention that this car sold at auction for $125,000 after previously trading for $100,000 in 2019. Personally, I'm curious to see what the travel amenities are like in this Freightliner – there's plenty of room in the back, and even a kitchenette, but no space to sit, eat or sleep?
To be fair, I don’t think it would be too much of a stretch to just throw a mattress in there, throw in a few folding chairs and a table, and set up camp outside.
Looks like it's 42 feet long, has a two-tone green and silver livery, custom rear, open space on the lower floor, and a folding liftgate. It also has air suspension, a single tag axle, and tinted windows. When you're loading up your Italian exotic, you probably don't want anyone looking in.
The cabin, or cockpit, is equipped with gray cloth seats, air conditioning, a wood-trimmed Dobbs Motorsports steering wheel, a Cobra CB radio, a CRT rear view monitor, and a total of seven auxiliary gauges. The odometer shows 210,000 miles, with 7,000 of those added by the previous owner.
The back is pretty basic. There's a kitchenette up front (sink, fridge, microwave), wood cabinets, hardwood floors, overhead lighting, an audio system, and a bathroom closet (privacy is nice). Then there's the cargo section, where the ad says you can fit three supercars in the back of this semi-trailer. It's probably cramped, but you can see why that works.

Of course, one of the three supercars needs to live in your kitchen, literally.
Under the cabin (no hood) is an 855 ci Cummins N14 turbodiesel inline six-cylinder unit with air-to-air intercooler, which sends power to the two rear wheels via an asynchronous Eaton Fuller dual-range manual gearbox with nine forward gears and two reverse gears.
Who is using this rig?
Many people will find it convenient, it's a class 8 truck, looks very well maintained, has living space, can haul your own car (or your customer's car, in the case of dealers), and let's not forget the price!
$125,000 may seem like a lot, but think about how expensive a new heavy-duty truck would be, especially with modifications like this. Even dump trucks are ridiculously expensive these days. Remember this 2024 Peterbilt 567? It was priced at $305,700. Needless to say,
