the longest non-commercial production car ever built in the US.
the 1973 Imperial was 19.6 feet, 235 inches long, which made it the longest postwar (non-limousine) production car and the third longest production car ever, 4" longer than the 74-76 Pontiac Grand Safari station wagon!
Jeremy Renner is selling more than 100 vehicles (collected for the tv show Rennervations on Disney+, and are now surplus) including firetrucks, school buses and motor homes in an online auction that runs through Sept 5.
Disney and Renner’s publicist have not responded to questions from the Reno Gazette Journal to comment on if “Rennervations” was not renewed for another season and if that is why the vehicles are for sale.
The online auction, hosted by Thomas Hayward Auctioneers, runs through Sept. 5. Bidders can access the auction and view the inventory at ThomasHaywardAuctioneers.com
"Many of the vehicles were acquired from government auctions with the idea of repurposing them. The hope is that others will see the possibilities like the show Rennervations did and continue to give them new life beyond their original purpose."
The actor is selling just about every big toy you can think of including an ambulance, 38-foot boat, motorcycles, semitrucks, fire trucks, bobcats, and a street sweeper.
