Few weeks back a friend of mine sent me picture of a vehicle just like the one pictured above. He had no idea what it was, and neither did I. I tweeted and Facebook’d asking what the heck it was, but the responses were guesses at best.
Thankfully, there is Hooniverse and its awesome weekend editor to answer all questions on the weird, the rare, and the obscure vehicles. The Mauck is, essentially, a business Lear jet for the road. With the original price of around $200,000, it is absolutely shocking that only a few were sold.
Now here is your chance to own a [sc:ebay itemid=”200942834222″ linktext=”Mauck of your own for less than $70,000 from eBay Motors”]. Could it be just be weird, obscure, and 1990’s futuristic looking enough to fetch that money?

Sounds like the seller knows as much as I do about this thing.
The exterior looks good in pictures. Are those Grand Cherokee taillights? Is that a Saturn steering wheel?
Inside it looks like a weird incomplete conversion with minivan bench seats. Still, I like this thing and after some improvements I totally would drive it cross-country with my family, especially if it had a Cummins turbo-diesel and not the 454 big block. I like the one Jim wrote about a lot better, which shows that the damn thing has potential.
