Double Cab Ute 2.0: Datsun U520
Recently, we featured a rare Datsun U620 and today it appears that the same seller is offering the older U520. If you missed out on that early 70s double-cab, then maybe this late 60s iteration is the truck for you!

1978 Jeep J10 Honcho with Levi’s Interior and Four-Speed
This is easily the best-looking pickup ever made, and the Honcho package added 70s decals, roll bar and Levi’s interior to the mix. We love it, especially in these colors.

Ford Fairmont Wagon with 3MT
We guess this is a Mexico specification not offered in the US: a 1983 Ford Fairmont with a floor-mounted, three-speed manual transmission!

Trimuter from Total Recall
This isn’t our first Total Recall car, but it’s the first “sporty” two seater. Apparently, this started life as a Trimuter kit car before being modified for the 1990 film.

AMBEE, the Mighty Mini Monster Truck
Here we have a full-on, custom miniature monster truck! Make no mistake, this truck is small. The seller has been nice enough to include a video of it running and driving and which gives a good idea of scale.

Double Cab Ute: Datsun U620
Most Datsun pickups from the 60s and 70s were standard, two-seat affairs with separate beds – much like almost every other pickup out there. There were a few oddballs, though, including the Sunny Ute we previously featured and today’s U620. This is the Ute version of the 620 pickup and arguably the coolest (and weirdest)…

Dismantling a 1986 Corvette Yields a Unique Hot Rod
Here we have an interesting idea. The owner apparently had T-bucket hot rods before and noted (correctly) that they’re not really long-distance cars. We don’t know how, but he ended up with a 1986 Corvette and proceeded to remove most of the body panels, then construct a Model T-type “trunk” and add an old school…

May Cause Heart Attacks in Purists: 1968 Jaguar E-Type
Yes, you are looking at an E-Type, or what’s left of one. Apparently, it is owned by a shop owner/car builder whose friend rolled his E-Type 2+2. So, purists can relax a bit, as 2+2 E’s frankly aren’t that good looking AND this one was damaged. The 2+2 roots also explain the long wheelbase.

Mid-Engine, Manually-Shifted Van: 1991 Previa
Sure, it looks like an egg, but we respect the Previa. What other minivan has offered a mid-engine layout, manual trans, supercharger and all-wheel drive? Sadly, one couldn’t combine all of these concepts, as it seems all supercharged Previas were of the automatic, rear-wheel drive variety. Today’s feature is a rare one with its five-speed…

Frazer Manhattan Promotional Pickup
Apparently, this is a one-off (or one of three?) promotional pickup and is well known among “Frazerphiles.” This vehicle even has its own Facebook page! It seems Earl “Madman” Muntz (of Muntz Car Company) commissioned these in an effort to convince Kaiser-Frazer leadership to produce them. They never did, so no more were made. Frazer…
