Tim Lorentz, a special-education teacher in Spokane, Wash., loves both cars and boats. “Car guys always want to own or drive a unique car that no one else owns,” Mr. Lorentz said. Mr. Lorentz, now 65, built it in 2009 using a Chrysler LeBaron, a car he was well acquainted with. Although Mr. Lorentz’s wife didn’t know of his plan, he bought a white 1993 LeBaron convertible for $700. A hundred dollars landed Mr. Lorentz a used 17-foot boat, provided he return the motor and the trailer after the Frankensteinian project.
