An automobile repairer and auto-shop worker, Rick Sullivan has built a special car that looks, walks, and operates upside down. The Illinois mechanic didn’t build the vehicle from scratch but made the modification out of another truck. Read more:

Sullivan spent six months and $6,000 building the upside-down truck from the parts of two separate vehicles: a 1991 Ford Ranger pickup truck and a 1995 F-150 pickup truck body placed over the top complete with spinning wheels.

Sullivan got the idea for a topsy-turvy truck when he was called to transport an overturned Ford Ranger to his body shop.

“I built the truck by starting out collecting parts for a Ford F150, we bought different parts in different locations,” he told Barcroft TV. “There’s no blueprint. I just started buying parts and then putting it together. It’s all in my head and we had to make adjustments throughout, but it turned out pretty much like I envisioned it.”

As you might expect, Sullivan gets a lot of attention when he drives the upside-down auto around his home town of Clinton, Illinois.
