Donkilicious Cadillac Fleetwood Limo
Because the 1994 Cadillac Fleetwood just wasn’t outlandish enough when stock, we hereby present one made into both a donk and a limo. There’s not much we need to add here. This is an already-giant Caddy Fleetwood stretched and then made into a donk. Be sure to take a look at the videos in the…

Weiner Microcar Musuem Liquidation, Round 2?
Anyone who knows microcars knows that Bruce Wiener close his Madison, Georgia, USA museum in 2014 and sold most of the vehicles. RM auctions handled the sale and many microcar price records were set on that day. Further, every other microcar for sale roughly doubled in asking price around that time. It seems not all…

Custom V8 Tractor: The Non-Road “Road Warrior”
This is a fully custom tractor running a Chevy 350 and an Opel-based front suspension. The seller calls it the “Road Warrior”, but promptly points out it’s not for on-road use, as it likely can’t be registered. Hmm – to be fair, no one needed registration in the Road Warrior (as opposed to on Mad…

Omna Auto Bug Box: Beetle Conversion
As a follow up to our recent Vandetta post, here’s a more old school Beetle van-ish conversion. This one has a lot of needs, but it looks like it’s all there. This was done using a “Bug Box” kit from Omna-Auto back in the day. The seller says this needs pan repair and a starter.…

1988 Renault Medallion: French, Manual Wagon!
Here’s a car that checks almost all of the boxes. 1) It’s French, which guarantees obscurity in the US. Even better, the car and the engine are products of long-forgotten alliances. 2) It’s a wagon 3) It features a clutch pedal What’s missing? We say it’d be perfect with all-wheel drive and painted brown. Still,…

1971 Honda Vamos
Here’s one we’d never heard of! The Vamos was based on Honda’s mini-truck, the TN360, and was a mini-Jeep competitor (think Suzuki). The interwebs consistently indicate that about 2,500 of these were built; so this is rare outside the Lane Motor Museum (surely they have one). The seller of our subject unit provides almost no…

1962 Citroen 2CV Sahara
Here’s one of our favorites, which is basically a Citroen 2CV with dual engine to yield four wheel drive. This was specifically built four exploring the French colonies in Africa, but we assume it was expensive or not too competitive with the Land Rover, given production under 700 units total. These are now collector cars…

Cushman Trike with Honda Goldwing Power
This trike probably started like as an industrial vehicle, but now it’s a seriously overpowered golf cart. The engine is a 1.5 liter flat six from a Honda Goldwing motorcycle. Yes, that’s the car-sized cruiser bike with all the tail pipes which is very popular with Baby Boomers There isn’t too much else to say…

Big Rig Dreamin’: Kenworth Cab on Pickup Frame
Yes, almost every boy goes through a big rig infatuation, or at least those raised in the 70s did. We suspect that’s what drove this adult realization of the Kenworth dream. What we have here is a Kenworth cab on a 1978 Chevy dually pickup chassis. The engine is an Isuzu/GMC 5.9L diesel inline six.…

Stand and Deliver! 1931 Stutz Pak-Age-Car.
The Stutz Pak-Age-Car was a delivery truck meant to be driven from a standing position. Various sellers, including this one, claim very low remaining units. We know we’ve never seen – nor featured – one. This cool little van has a mid-mounted Hercules four cylinder with a rear radiator. The upside is the whole unit…
