Worst Stretch of the Word “Restored”? Custom Fiero.
Here we have a Fiero with custom body parts and a look the seller says makes it comparable to “FERRARIS / LAMBROS”. Interestingly, the seller also says it was “totally restored.” Hmm…we need to talk about the definition of restored. At its root, this is one of the best (latest) Fieros, which means it has…

Very 80s Custom Beetle
This is your opportunity to own a darling of VW Trends Magazine from 1992! Feel the teal. The seller mentions 1983 in the ad, but the magazine is clearly from 1992 or 1993 and the wheel, seat, audio and color choices all fit better with late 80s or early 90s. What you get here is…

Best of the Worst: Low-Mile, Manual Trans Cadillac Cimarron
Remember the Cimarron? Yes, it was Caddy’s J-Body, which means it shared many a part with the Chevy Cavalier, among too many other variants. Any surviving Cimarron is an oddity today, but low-mileage, manually-shifted example is something truly special – slow, but special. At $2,650, why not pick up this unusual bit of terrible GM…

What has a Slant Six, Manual Trans, Half Vinyl Roof and T-Tops?
Why, it’s a 1978 Dodge Aspen Special Edition, of course! At least the seller claims it’s a Special Edition. This mostly original, 162K mile car seems to be in good, solid shape overall and is such a strange build that we’d be proud to own it. The only issue noted is that one T-Top is…

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…
