Interesting concept, but as some of the comments were leading to, where would the engine go? I guess in the bed. Would it still be front wheel drive?

Not with the design as it sits. The passenger cabin would have to be raised just a bit more. The toro drive train have to be reversed i think.

Somebody with Dodge Deora envy and too much time on their hands...

At least this one was really built:





Interesting factoid: The Deora used the steering wheel from a 1966 Toronado. The windshield was a Ford station wagon back window.
