1993 Freightliner Custom Hauler Boasts Fully Equipped Kitchen and Room for Three Supercars

Before we get into the specs, we need to mention how this just sold for $125,000 at auction, after exchanging hands for $100k back in 2019. Personally, I’m curious as to the travel setup as far as this Freightliner is concerned. You’ve got a bunch of cars in the back, and a kitchenette, but no room to sit and eat, or sleep?

To be fair, I guess it wouldn’t be too much trouble to get a mattress in there, plus some foldable chairs and a table and set up camp outside.

Visually, this thing is 42’ long and features a two-tone green and silver colorway, with a custom rear section, a lower-level open space, and a folding lift gate. It’s also got air suspension, a single-wheel tag axle, and tinted windows – you probably wouldn’t want anybody to be able to peek inside when you’ve got some Italian exotic on-board.

The cabin, or cockpit if you will, features gray cloth seats, air conditioning, a wood-rimmed Dobbs Motorsports steering wheel, a Cobra CB radio, CRT rear-view monitor, plus a total of seven auxiliary gauges. The odometer is showing 210,000 miles, 7,000 of which were added by its last owner.

The rear section is sort of basic. You’ve got the forward kitchenette (sink, refrigerator, microwave), wood cabinets, hardwood flooring, ceiling lights, an audio system, plus the toilet closet (it’s nice to have privacy). Then there’s the loading section, and according to the ad, you can fit three supercars in the back of this semi. It would probably be a tight squeeze, but I see how that can work.

Of course, one of the three supercars would literally need to sit in the kitchen, so to speak.

As for what’s going on underneath the cabin (no hood), there’s an 855 ci Cummins N14 turbodiesel inline-six unit, featuring an air-to-air intercooler. It sends its power to the dually rear wheels via a non-synchronized Eaton Fuller dual-range manual gearbox, with nine forward gears and two reverse gears.

Who’s using this rig?

I think lots of people could find it useful. It’s a class 8 truck, and it looks very well-maintained. It’s also got a living area, it can haul your cars (or customer cars if you’re a dealer), and let’s not forget the price!

While $125,000 may seem like a lot, keep in mind just how expensive a new semi-truck would be, especially with such a conversion. Even dump trucks are ridiculously expensive in today’s day and age – remember this 2024 Peterbilt 567? It had a price tag of $305,700. Enough said.
