The 30-meter long 'Super limousine' beats its own 1986 Guinness World Record after being restored by its owner.
The first version of the limousine nicknamed "The American Dream" appeared in Burbank, California in 1986, built by famed car customizer Jay Ohrberg. Originally, it measured 18.28 meters and long and had a pair of V8 engines in the front and rear.
Ohrberg later enlarged the limousine to 30.5 meters, long before it was forgotten in the back of a New Jersey warehouse for years and fell into a state of disrepair.
It was eventually listed on eBay, where it changed hands twice, but was eventually bought by its current owner Michael Dezer for an undisclosed sum.
It then recruited its interim owner Michael Manning to help restore it, and on March 1 of this year, the limousine was officially recognized for breaking its own Guinness World Record by a small fraction, having been enlarged by a few inches.
It comes with features fit for a king, including a Jacuzzi, miniature golf course, heliport, and even a pool with diving board.
Not only that, the limo can be driven from both ends, fits more than 75 people, and has 26 wheels.
To put its immense size in perspective, most cars measure between 3.6 and 4.2 meters.
The project, which cost over $250,000 in shipping, materials and labor, took three years to complete.
"We had to get some parts because they were destroyed," Manning said
The American Dream was originally launched to fame in 1986, when it was first recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's longest car.
As one of the most unique vehicles to circulate, the long limousine was often rented for film appearances and was featured in several movies.
But after the world lost interest, the legendary car went unloved for years and began to rust until parts of it became unusable.
The car was originally built in two sections and joined in the middle by a hinge to make tight turns.
In addition to its stately features, it is also equipped with several televisions, a refrigerator, and a telephone.
The helipad is structurally mounted to the vehicle with steel supports underneath and can support up to a weight of one ton," said Manning, owner of Autoseum, a technical education museum in Nassau County, New York.
After its long-awaited restoration, the American Dream is finally debuting its new paint job and a shiny new set of wheels.
'You won't be able to put it on the road for circulation because it's too long,' Manning said.
'It was built to be put on display.
The car is now on display at the Dezerland Park Orlando Automotive Museum in Orlando, Florida.
