It was brought to me from a local spotting group. It’s an old RV, but that’s where normal stops & interesting begins. The Clark Cortez Motorhome, built by a maker of Forklifts. (all photos belong to Tylo Spitz)
Powered by Chrysler straight 6, gated 4spd, rear engine fwd(Going to the Forklift background), torsion bar front suspension. Using a metal unibody (like forklifts).

One of the most bizarre, yet ingeniously engineered vehicles ever built. And that includes Citroen.

Rear engine and FWD, yet still has a rear door? Very cool- though I wonder how it handles.

Let’s just hope it’s front-wheel steering instead of rear-wheel steering like a forklift!

Not quite, as an excerpt from the linked Curbside Classic article states:
“Why the funny protruding grille? Well, that grille comes off, and after the bumper is removed, the whole power train assembly in its cradle can be sli d out, after six hefty bolts are undone.”
And here’s a picture of the front subframe, from cortezcoach.com:
