Don't see a lot of these Bevington Cottner yachts, its a pretty select market niche. Not a lot of interchangeable parts past the front clip and dash. I'm curious how long the driveshaft is on that thing and what kind of rear end it has? Maybe has the scarce rear sway bar or police rear end?

Allan,
I wonder if they used a carrier bearing on those long wheel based cars?

It looks t6 me that the car is basically a 98 sedan and some has been added to the rear but not the wheel base so a standard driveshaft would be used? To my surprise and as far as I know, rear anti sway bars were not used on the ambulance/hearse cars.

My buddy had one of those sitting up behind the house for years. Figures, when I want the 455, he sold it a little over a year ago.

I wanted to buy a hearse when i was a teenager. Dad didn't like the fact that it had so many compartments to hide things.

I little to far away for me to consider. Good thing too.I don't know what I would be able to do with it. I imagine it would cost a fortune to restore.
