From a local car spotting group. Someone said that this Scania is on a MACK chassis and VIN. Can’t think of any way these would be legal, unless commercial vehicles have different regulations or something. I’ve seen pics posted of other Scanias that were in the USA, but they were visiting from Europe.
Pretty cool, still. It’s cab-over design is ideal for narrow, congested locations. And from playing Euro Truck Simulator 2, these have decent turning radii.
Edit: Someone else also spotted the same truck earlier, here his pics:

I want to see that on the road bad. BAD. BADLY!
I could see it being on a Mack Chassis, they made a few COE rigs back in the day that were similar. Not the same though.

Someone commented the guy owns an Enzo as well. Must be pretty loaded.

I almost can’t imagine it is running a Mack chassis, since I would expect the rear to be way higher in that case, but the rear looks just like a stock Scania would.

Actually, it very well could. The length of this particular truck seems quite a bit out of proportion, compared to ‘regular’ double axle Scania’s. Especially the mid-section, right behind the cab, seems a bit weird.

It sure looks custom-made/modified in some way, alright.

In terms of length it looks quite like a double axle Scania fitted with a small crane, though I could be wrong.

It’s either a Northern Ireland registered Scania or U.K. registered truck on a (Northern Ireland and Britain) private registration.

That’s a lot longer than you would find from the factory. For comparison:
It looks as the third axle has kept its place and what was the second one has been added on behind. The fifth wheel (the attachment for the trailer) is therefore further forward than standard. Also the one in America has lifted the third rather than the second axle.
The double tail lights on the red one are a bit of a mystery.

And I don’t see a US license plate on the back, either...

The rear chassis has been covered weirdly. I would think that it might be trying to hide something.
There would be an easy way to check if it has a complete Mack or Scania chassis under the cab. If it’s a Scania it will likely have a 24V electric system and a Mack chassis should have a 12V system.
The task of converting the cab to use Mack’s 12V system would be quite horrible so I kinda doubt that it would be the case. Maybe it could use Mack’s frame rails, suspension and axles while all other parts would be from a donor Scania.

To be fair, I would have no use for most automobiles I covet
