  • Time to look at the fleet at Ficarra's house, starting with the Cannonball Ambulance. Built for the 2019 running of the C2C Express, this 1971 GMC Stoner Ambulance crossed the US in 37 hours and 6 minutes. John explains the build and lays out future plans for this LS powered beast.

    I knew you would be exactly the person to do the Ambulance justice sir! A perfect combination and one of my favorite cannonball cars ever

      @AnomalousOne1401 John and I had just been talking about our ultimate cannonball cars when I came across the stoner ambulance, I couldn't believe how cool it was, and how much it needed saving from being a parts car. John and Matt did an amazing job on it, and had a fantastic run across the country. Thanks for the support about my mum, I'm slowly getting through it all.

    The wheels look so much better on the ambulance than they did on the Hummer. Awesome rig.

    Some wood blocks and a big hammer will fix that bumper, fixing the brackets will be a bit more work, cut, hammer and weld…

    John, love your videos and stories. You said the previous owner used it as a donor and took some ambulance parts off for his project. Were you able to find all those parts to make it whole again? If not what is missing?

    • @FicarraClassic
      @FicarraClassic  Год назад

      Thanks! He took off the roof light bar, the spot lamps and some of the interior parts. We'll be putting the spots back on at some point.

    "Not that we were cheating or anything" said the man that has made entire videos protesting his infatuation with cheaters and their cheats! 😂🤣😁😉
