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…

Corvette Down: Poorly Modified C3
Though this looks like a really bad Fiero custom from some angles, most will notice quickly that it’s not a mid-engine car. Under this is a 1977 Corvette (AKA C3), which one can see in the roof line. The seller claims this has some relation to Hendrick Motorsports, which, among other things, is a NASCAR…

WTF Jeep
Did you ever look at a Jeep CJ and wonder what it would be like if you deleted its ability to go over speed bumps, not to mention going off-road? Well, here’s your answer. The seller calls it the Testabassa SR. The work here seems to be well done, but we question the project’s intent.…

NisoFiniti TX56?
Apparently, someone loved the idea behind the Lincoln Blackwood so much that they decided to create the Nissan/Infiniti version. The seller calls is a NisoFiniti. We think it might be called the TX56. Given the large number of shared parts between QX (this was when only one Infiniti was called QX) and Titan, this conversion…

Own a Tiny Piece of French Automotive History
Apparently, there were loopholes in French vehicle registration and licensing that led to a number of “cars” which could be driven by anyone age fourteen or higher and with no license. These are called “voitures sans permis.” Today’s feature is an example of one known as the Mini-Comtesse and is offered by none other than…

Lot of Seven Pirate Ship-Themed Vehicles
Apparently, these seven vehicles were modified with a nautical theme and used in the filming of a TV show. The whole fleet can now be yours! These are based on an eclectic selection of 90s and 2000s vehicles, as follows: 2002 Ford Explorer 1996 Jeep Cherokee 2001 Volvo S80 1997 Volvo 850 1996 Altima 1997…
