A company I worked for sold 4 F100's to the company that made the first Punisher movie with Dolph Lundgren in 1988. They converted them to left hand drive by welding a post to the floor with a bicycle chain across to the right hand side so they could be steered from the left. It looked authentic for filming outside the cars. /vehicle_31886-International-CM-1300.html -- Last edit: 2007-04-23 00:50:33

Neptune ◊ 2007-04-25 00:38	Oh My Goodness! It’s a extremely rare Volvo Komodo (Volvonus 240 Komodoensis) It likes basking in the sunlight to rest it’s radials. It also likes long drives and snacking on the occasional SAAB. It’s the fastest land reptile known to man. Thanks for listing it Stronghold!!!
