Puntiki:Only 301 of these LM002 monster machines were built. Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi reportedly ordered 100 of them for the use of Libya's military.
The last 60 of the series were called LM/American and was introduced at the 1992 Detroit Auto Show. The LM/American had special baging, stripes, upgraded interior, group effects, chrome front and rear bumpers and MSW / OZ Racing alloy wheels.
It is a unique vehicle and was originally designed on the Cheetah platform with a Chrysler V8 to be sold to the US military. They didn't care for it and created the Hummer.
The LM002 has also been used for rallying with some modifications.
I have seen one in person driving around Beverly Hills, but they are really something you'd expect to see at Casa de Gibbs in Kaukapakapa, not on the streets and highways. With gas as high as it is now, you'd want to get around in something more frugal. A collectors item? Yes.

Mike Tyson had something like this, though I thought it was called an Armadillo. That was before they put Tyson back into his cage.
It was probably one of these..... He is out of the cage now....
