Z21: The Zombie Truck
Yes, it’s called a D21; but we’re referring to this oddity as the Z21 due to its zombie theme. The zombie theme consists of a mural on both sides and the tailgate. For some reason, brass knuckle decals are also featured in several places. Do brass knuckles even work on zombies? The seller claims there’s…

Time Capsule Topaz: Two-Door with Five-Speed!
Soon, we’ll have a whole generation that doesn’t remember Mercury, Ford’s red-headed stepchild. That’s sad, as the brand had a few real performance gems over the years. This isn’t one of them, but it is a last holdout of the 80s, even though it was sold in the 90s. The Topaz, of course, was Mercury’s…

Volvo 940 Batmobile
Admit it, you’ve all looked at delightfully boxy, 80s and 90s Volvos and wondered what they would look like as Batmobiles. Well, someone decided to find out. There’s a lot of DIY handiwork here and the photos mostly speak for themselves. Here’s a quote we love: “a few spots where hot glue was used ,…

Homemade VW/Chrysler/Ford/Chevy Hot Rod
There’s not much else we can call this because it’s part VW, part Chrysler, part Ford, part Chevy and perhaps others. It’s definitely unique and it’s definitely not boring. The seller claims to have built this from about nine other cars, though it seems it has more VW parts than anything else. Power comes from…

MurderCedes: Zombie Apocalypse Survival Car
Thinking about the bottom falling out around the 2016 US election? This might be just the ticket, especially if you convert it to veggie oil, which should be fairly easy to do. The seller built this starting with a clean example from Texas; so it’s claimed to be rust-free, aside from added patina. The interior…

Cadillup: Cadillac Caribou “High Roller”
Ah yes, another 70s Cadillac pickup conversion. This one was done by Caribou, supposedly out of the bay area, and has since been treated to a Tiffany Blue paint job, wood bed slats and, among other things, a “unique” high roller interior. This is quite the project, but the $75K asking price is pure crack pipe.…

Awesome LeMons Buy?
So, this went over the $500 limit; but it seems like the ultimate LeMons car. This is a Fox-platform Mercury Cougar with the turbocharged 2.3L four and five-speed manual. It looks like every piece of sheet metal on this car has damage and/or rust and the dash has seen too much sun. That seems like…

Rare Mexican VW: Hormiga
The Hormiga (Ant in Spanish), also known as the Basistransporter, was a front-engine, front-wheel drive mini-truck made in Germany and Mexico from 1975 through 1979. In some cases, these were shipped as knock-down kits and built elsewhere. These were only in production for a few years and only in low volume. As such, only a…

Almost Famous: Rexona Ad Drag Mustang
We first saw this and imagined it was someone’s idea of a cool custom. Thankfully, this was custom-built for a Rexona deodorant ad. The seller claims this can be converted back to a street car. We’re not sure; but maybe it can if all VIN plates, etc. are present. The hard part might be passing…

Potential Four-Fer: Piaggio Ape Calessinos
The Piaggio Ape has a long history including deliveries and shuttling rich people around beautiful islands. Supposedly, the four available from this seller are rare special editions. Whether that’s true or not, we think they’re cool. These little beasts are powered by 422cc Lombardini diesel twins and put out 8 horsepower! Sure, they’re not for…
