The weight is obscene should have never been a production vehicle weighing in at 9000 pounds. The MPGe rating is 47!!!! Epic fail.

47 MPGe for something that obscenely big and heavy with 1000 HP? That's awesome! A Toyota Prius is like 55 MPG...what you talkin about Willis!!

Yes, they are pretty rare. From what I understand, only 1000 of them were built. I've only seen one of them myself locally......in my local Giant Food lot.
And it doesn't take a genius to figure out why it didn't sell. Who would buy a truck, designed to work, with rare African Blackwood for trim? That makes about as much sense as a submarine with screen doors LOL.
It is interesting, however, that, before the 1950s, true wood-paneled station-wagons (not just a side-decal) were popular, but they weren't using rare expensive woods like Lincoln did for that truck.
