Isetta / VW Combo Project
The last time we broke a story on a modified Isetta, it made the rounds on all of the major online car sites. We’re not sure that will happen this time… It’s not that today’s feature isn’t interesting, it’s that it’s very much an incomplete project and the seller has only included two images. Apparently,…

Dually Rat Rod with or without Engine
Ah yes, the “Rat Rod” concept. It seems it can be used to describe just about anything rusty and incomplete, but we’ll venture to say that this is pretty close to the original intent. This is based on a 1926 Model T and a 1958 Dodge dual-axle truck. It looks like the basic structure is…

Celebrity Eurosport Wagon, Eh!
Remember the Chevy Celebrity? Yes, it was basic transportation in its day and precisely zero celebrities drove Celebrities. Even a car this boring had a special edition, in this case known as the Eurosport. This Eurosport wagon is as cool as a Celebrity can possibly be. Is that cool enough? This car is a Canadian…

1975 Jeep Airport Tug with Thing
No, this doesn’t come with a Volkswagen Thing, it comes with Thing from Fantastic Four. We have no idea why. This is a CJ-5 that was modified to tow aircraft. Why not? Now that it’s duties are over, it’s just a really odd, narrow Jeep for the street or trail. What’s not to love? Click…

Beautiful Brown Citroen HY Van
This awesome example of post-war French styling is fittingly for sale in Roswell, New Mexico. As was often the case with post-war European vehicles, this H van had a very long life cycle. Given it’s a commercial vehicle, this one pushed the limits with production from from 1947 to 1981. The original design used a…

Non-Gordini Renault R8 in Los Angeles
The R8 is one of the most unusual-looking (or least usual looking?) small sedans, which means we love them! This example awaits you in Lawndale, CA and has been upgraded with a 1.1L engine. Yes, that’s an upgrade vs. the base 0.956 liter unit… French with a rear-mounted engine – what’s not to love? With…

Rare First-Gen Prelude
This is a claimed 125K miles, one-family 1980 Honda Prelude which appears the be in great shape. When did you last see one of these? What’s the catch, you ask? This one has an automatic trans; so maximum driving fun is not in the cards. Still, this car deserves to be preserved and enjoyed! 125K…

Quickie: Datsun 411 Wagon Roller on Top of a Shipping Container
We don’t know how this car got on top of this container nor why. If the body and glass truly are in good shape, this could be a deal at $500 or so. We’re not sure Lemons rules allow a rolling shell at $500, but this shouldn’t be smashed to bits on a track, anyway.…

Old School Cool:1970 Datsun 521 with Chevy 327
Small Block Chevy (SBC) swaps are all the rage these days, but they’re nothing new. The original swaps were into 1920/1930s hot rods and usually involved Ford’s “Flathead” V8; but Chevy swaps have a history, too, as evidenced by this 1980s swap involving a tiny Datsun pickup and a Corvette 327, which is older than…

1989 Nissan Sentra Surf-Mobile
A two-door Sentra surf-mobile? Why, yes, it is! The racks on top hold the boards and there’s a shower for rinsing off. What more do you need? If your answer is Mercedes, AMG and “Turbo” emblems, then this is the car for you! Ignore the entertaining mods and this is basic transportation, which isn’t a bad…
