26 Wheels it could probably hold up to about 75 people if we wanted to put them in it later on today we're going to land a helicopter on it it has a putting green it has a pool this was the original record holder for the longest car SL limousine in the world the original design was by Jay olberg out of Burbank California in the 80s and today we've beaten a record by a fraction but it is still longer than it was originally when I found a car was in very poor condition I'd say on a
scale of 1 to 10 it was minus one I found a car in New Jersey it was riding behind a warehouse and I put a bid on it and I W it I was completely rusted through to the ground basically a piece of junk I had the car in New York for 8 years I had it shipped down here to Florida Mike actually had it shipped down Mike deser Mike's Vision was to restore it on the way down the hood blew off the car on 95 never to be found again I don't know where it
is so thankfully we had three donor cars we took one of the hoods we started the restoration project about two and a half years ago was it was August it was hot here in Florida we set a game plan so we took three donut cars we cut them up we replaced the whole cab of the car so we could drive it the engine was replaced all the tires were replaced helipad was redone the pool was redone on the inside of the vehicle we have seating for passengers we have carpeting we have leather we have vinyl
we have LED lighting this can be configured for any type of party any type of design that you'd want but it could hold up to 75 people any day a week what I found surprising with the car is when we started fixing it and we started taking it apart it was six elderado that were put together but the middle section had to be fabricated from scratch and it kind of reminds you of the construction of a bridge I mean just an enormous undertaking to do this type of job six Eldorado each one of them weighed
just a little over 5,000 lb so we used six of them but we didn't use every part of them so when you add the steel in I would say 25,000 lb would be a good guess maybe we'll weigh it one day and we'll really find out there are pictures of this limousine with a helicopter but there is no actual footage of that helicopter landing on it and we're going to do it today here at desland the main difficulty in driving this car is finding straight road for it to turn you need a you need a
real wide radius because of the length of it similar to what the president does he has to map out his route to where he's going that's what we would have to do we would have to map out a route and know where we're going to turn it's not for everyday driving obviously we talked about maybe turning it into an electric vehicle that would take 26 Motors one for each wheel the battery I don't know how big it's got to be but we have plenty of room for that battery so maybe you'll see the biggest electric
vehicle in the world people react to the car like they can't believe that it's even real they think it's like a model in a magazine but when they see it even in the condition before it was restored it was an attraction [Music] the vehicle is 30538 M long which is 100 ft and 1 1/2 in long for everybody doesn't use meters congratulations this is officially amazing you know you kind of see something that's almost impossible to do and it's a challenge and you say I could do it people say you crazy but we did it
and here it is and eventually we we're going to extend it I don't know how long we're going to make it but I guess as long as we can sky's the limit or the road's the limit [Music]
