Hattie, your executive work truck has arrived...

...although I think the seller has been hitting the pipe a bit when he set the price.

C'mon, we all know of a big boss man that cruises around in a Denali crew dually that never carries more than a cooler to the fishing hole or a couple boxes of screws. For $75K the Rollerado will never haul that much.

It only takes one person to buy it. Somewhere there is a rancher that will think it is cool and buy it, if you have $, 75 K really isn't that much these days. This is probably a better deal than buying a purple Hemi Cuda convertible for ~ 3.5 Million . 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sold for record $3.5 million | Fox News

Looks like they just put the body of a RR onto a truck chassis.

There is also a BMW tow truck that has been floating around since the 80's. From what I recall it used Nissan pickup rear sheet metal to close the BMW and it has a built up frame for the back half.
