1970 Pontiac Bonneville Superior Hearse
+ 2008 Lincoln MKX
We found this hearse in a garage in Nebraska having sat for quite a while. It started life with a Pontiac 455, TH400 and rear wheel drive. But this was intended to be a promotional vehicle for Liquid Death mountain water. A modern drivetrain would make this much easier and more economical to drive for the intern that would enevitably drive it.
The hearse was combined with a 2009 Lincoln MKX drivetrain. We installed the front and rear subframes from the MKX onto the original frame modified to install the independant suspension.
The final specs include:
- 265hp 3.5L V-6 and 6 speed automatic transmission
- All Wheel Drive (AWD) with independant suspension and disc brakes
- Casket cooler that extends electrically out of the rear of the hearse. Perfect for keeping cases of Liquid Death mountain water icy cold.
- Air helper spring in the rear to support the electric casket cooler
This looks like a 1970 Pontiac Bonneville hearse, feels like the Pontiac, but drives like a modern vehicle.
