Ever wanted your own Christmas-themed sleigh for the road? About the closest thing you’ll find to one is this custom trike that's currently listed on Facebook Marketplace, and it’s probably unlike anything you’ve seen before. This has been spotted in Maumee, Ohio, and is perhaps one of the craziest and weirdest custom builds around. It is currently listed for $10,000. I wonder if Santa is thinking of making a purchase?
Powered By A Ford 302 V8 Engine
Is this a good sleigh? Well, it's certainly wacky like some others we have seen. So, what makes up this car? As the listing mentions, and as we can see with our eyes, there is an awful lot that makes up this…sleigh. It is powered by a Ford 302 V8 engine. The bit that looks like a car, the rear, is from a Chevrolet Chevette. And this isn’t even half of what this car is comprised of. If we can even call it a car. There are some Yamaha bits in there, Kawasaki as well, and then there's a Harley wheel and some bits and pieces from a Chevrolet Vega as well, which wasn’t a particularly popular car in its own form!
This looks like it could be one of the most uncomfortable rides to a destination you have ever experienced. It’s not quite clear where you steer it from. It would appear you sit in the section at the rear, the Chevette back end, and use the handlebars in that section which, I assume, turns the front Harley section of the sleigh. The engine is clearly identifiable in the middle.
Don’t Forget The Christmas Tree
It’s finished in an orange/red color, with flames on the side of the car and in the photos, there is a Christmas tree hanging out the trunk. Now, can we see this car going around corners? More than likely there’s a few who’ve seen this listing and picture it struggling to do basic turns. As mentioned earlier, it is currently listed for $10,000. If anything else, it is quite the novelty. But an expensive one at that.
