Wanna Buy This Boeing 727 Limousine?
The Boeing 727 is still the jet many people imagine when they picture air travel, despite the model's retirement from the skies a few years ago. For decades it was the most popular aircraft in service, and one enterprising person decided to take one of those thousands of grounded craft and turned it into a 24,000-pound limousine. The ... uh ... car is currently based in Chicago, seats up to 50 people, and is street legal thanks to underpinnings from an old Mercedes bus. And, best of all, it can be yours.
The owner has put the thing up on eBay. It has so far received 15 bids with the current price at $269,900, which includes free delivery anywhere in the world.
The owner claims the thing rents out for $40,000 per week, so buying it seems like an economical choice. That is, of course, assuming you have a driveway bigger than most runways.
Would you buy this thing?

FIRST OF ALL........WOULD IT BE "LEGAL" TO DRIVE THIS MONSTER ON OUR ROADS? IT PROBABLY COULD BE USED FOR "CAMPING"......AS AN RV? PERSONALLY, IF ORDER TO OWN IT YOU'D HAVE TO BE REALLY LOADED OR ELSE ADD IT TO YOUR WEIRD COLLECTION IF YOU WERE RICH. PERHAPS IT WOULD BE USED IN A CARNAVEL??? WHATEVER....................

I just wonder if jay Leno might be interested in owning something like this

Al Gore should buy this beast for his global warming tours. It certainly leaves less of a carbon footprint than his private jets.
DarrellNov 2nd 2007 6:03PM
Okay so how do you park it?
georgeNov 2nd 2007 6:54PM
Hell yes, if I could rent it out for even half of the suggested price could pay for the thing in a few months and start making a months salary in a week from then on. Then, turn around and sell it again...wish my credit was better...lol.
kimNov 2nd 2007 7:11PM
I bet parking it in the "Compact" space would be a pain! I wonder what the Registration fees would be??
JasonNov 2nd 2007 7:15PM
Yea id buy that thing and turn it into a moving night club...Is that an italian flag under the right side of the cockpit window?
dagoenNov 5th 2007 8:42AM
i wonder if the seller will finance? because i sure will be interested.good business investment.
Michael EstradaNov 2nd 2007 8:13PM
this ride is sickkkk!!!! yeah good point where are you going to park this huge jet limo? how about up your ass?? lol...
Tammy WoodNov 2nd 2007 8:41PM
First of all, this thing only weighs a little more than a school bus. I drive one and a regular size school bus seats 65, so I see no problem with it fitting on the roadways. It is different that's for sure. I'd love to take it for a spin!
markNov 2nd 2007 8:59PM
Kool------ machine, almost as nice as the Oscar Meyer Weiner Machine. I guess the 727 will fit 50 weiners in the cab. $269,000 NOT. Maybe $2690.00 And free parking at the airport.
tim aurichNov 2nd 2007 11:24PM

it talks about 747 limo for sale..... but its only a 727

I see the Mexican flag near the door. Where is the US flag?? I thought this was kind of strange.
MIchael MurilloNov 2nd 2007 10:24PM
I don't think it will pass emissions. Will the owner put a reverse gear into it?
AlexNov 2nd 2007 10:51PM

vijayNov 3rd 2007 10:38AM

Ray L MinnickNov 3rd 2007 12:08AM
I transport alot of equipment that is alot larger and what would appear to be alot harder to manage...but it gets done. Wish I had the cash to buy it!
Merle SnyderNov 3rd 2007 12:56AM
The 727 (rightly noted above that it is not a 747) was an ugly plane and now it's road version is an ugly vehicle
