Carriage Roof on CTS Coupe
This is a rolleyes post. While recently better products have lifted Cadillac’s credibility, a certain “experienced” demographic still likes to add on tidbits from decades past. In this case, the uniquely-styled CTS Coupe was subjected to a “carriage roof.” This is for sale in Vegas, which would have been our fourth choice, after New York/New…

Homemade Nissan Sentra Cabriolet
What could make a 1997 Nissan Sentra an Oddimobile? We suggest that a can opener could do it. This is a 220K mile Sentra, which means the book value is nearly zero; but the owner removed the roof at some point. Is that better or worse? The asking price is $500, which is right at…

Best Fuego Ever?
We’ve posted Fuegos before, including one very low mileage example, but this one is the nicest we’ve seen in a long time. So, this may be the best Fuego that will ever come up for sale; but we must wonder why the mileage is so low. Whatever mechanical failure might have taken it off the…

Morris Minor Clown Car
No, it doesn’t seem like this one has been used for clown stuffing! Rather, this car has been dolled up with a clown theme, complete with parade capability. Supposedly, this is now witted with a 1275cc engine and front disc brakes; but those aren’t the reasons you’re interested in this one. More to the point,…

1976 Corvette Trailer
C3 detractors will say this is the best use for a 1976 Corvette. We say it’s an interesting oddity and, yes, we’re glad this wasn’t an early 70s C3 or even a later L-82, not to mention any mid-year Vette. Per the seller, the use case for this is to tow it to a car…

Deminsia Custom out of Florida
Want something truly different? Try this custom, which is, oddly, called the Deminsia. Maybe that’s because it forgot which end was the front. This custom was built by The Car Factory in Micco, Florida. It does seem to be well executed; so, if you’re into the style, maybe this is for you. The price is…

1950s Rapida – Homemade Microcar or Pedal Car?
This is being touted as a one-off microcar, but it’s not clear to use it isn’t a pedal car. Given the wheels, it might be considered the first cyclekart?? The seller seems to know little about the car, and there is no mention of mechanical bits. The interior shot below might even reveal it’s a…

Shortened, then Lengthened, 1979 Cadillac Seville
Coachbuilding was very much a thing in the 70s, and the all-new Seville was often a victim. This was a world-beater car at the time, so this should come as no surprise. For some reason, several companies offered ways to convert these four-doors into two-doors. This is one example. The seller doesn’t list mileage here,…

765 RWHP, 6MT Dodge Challenger with Gullwing Rear Doors
Straight out of Florida comes this beast built my a limo company. We suppose converting a Charger (i.e. starting with a four door) would have been too easy. This one started as a two-door and was extended, at least as far as we can tell. Because stretching a two-door Pony car into a limo wasn’t…

Awesomely Bad, Africa-Themed 70s Van
Lots of 70s van had murals, but we’ve never seen one with an Egyptian/northern Africa theme quite like this. Also, we rarely see murals in such good condition. The seller claims this is one of few modified by Dodge; but we have no reason to believe this wasn’t a dealer- or owner-commissioned custom. That was…
