I have actually seen a picture of a diorama of that graffiti covered Lightning...and if I wasn't so tired I would search for it. May have been in FSM.

El Avion restaurant, Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. I've actually eaten there and know the previous owner of this aircraft before the CIA acquired it.

Ok...I want one of these:
Apparently the mechanicals are a VW Beetle.

There's a bit of a history of this sort of thing in Australia, ex RAAF aircraft turned into land and predominantly sea vehicles. Examples of Dornier Do 24s and Catalinas have been converted into houseboats, while a Martin Mariner and at least one Lockheed Hudson was converted into a road vehicle. Sadly, not many of these have survived, but the nose section from one of the RAAF's Dornier flying boats survives because it was used as a houseboat; it's at a museum at Lake Boga, Victoria, where the Dorniers and Catalinas were scrapped post war.

Not an aircraft, but part of one: Drop Tanks.
After WWII, motorsports in the U.S. bloomed and one such genre, was "Salt Flat Speed racing".
Someone had the brilliant idea of turning a drop tank into a race car because of it's streamline shape and cheap surplus price - thus a whole new crop of salt flat racers was born and continues to this day, over 7 decades later.

I think it would be a blast!
They've had everything out there from model-Ts to converted Lockheed F-104s!
