Dustin Pedroia arrived to Red Sox 2016 spring training Monday in a Jeep that looked more like a tank than a car. The truck is unique, one of two in the world, Pedroia said.

To give the Bandit model that sheet metal pickup bed, the car’s maker, Starwood Motors, chopped a Jeep Wrangler in half.

“We take the back end of that Jeep, and cut it off,’’ said Davis Speight, general manager of the Dallas, Texas-based Jeep dealer. “Then it has a bed of essentially a Toyota Tacoma. Then we mount that onto the frame, which extends the car 38 inches.’’


Here are the specifications of the Bandit, via StarwoodMotors.com.

Pedroia’s custom version of the Bandit includes a removable hard top and a welded steel cross for torsional strength. The car can sell for as much as $300,000, but Starwood Motors says Pedroia paid significantly less for it.

“It’s a pretty big, labor-intensive build,’’ Speight said.
