Ever Wanted Your Own Land Speeder?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the talk-about-obsession dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Be the first on your block to drive on of these! a StarWars Land Speeder. This used to be a 1988 Ford Escort and only has 880 miles since built." This is a surprisingly impressive conversion.

    The donor car it was built on actually has 108k on it - the "Speeder" after built though, only has gone 880 miles.

    It says that it is street legal, and I don't doubt it. It looks like it has the proper lights on front and back, as well as mirrors and a windshield. That's pretty much all that is required for a vehicle to be street legal int he US -- if he were manufacturing these as an auto dealer he'd probably have to do more safety/impact tests of the body, but as-is, it's legally a Ford Escort.
