A Crosley Incomplete Project Two-Fer
This two-fer will result in one working car, at best, and even that will take some time. Hopefully, the right buyer comes along to make something really nice out of these. They deserve it! This two-fer includes one 1950 Hot Shot and one 1951 Super Shot. These were very closely related; so most parts are…

Hideous Gucci GMC Denali
If you find this tasteful, you should buy it. You should be institutionalized. Where to begin? This thing has two-tone black/Gucci pattern exterior paint/wrap (?), lambo doors, 30-inch wheels and the interior one would expect on such a thing. Also, per the seller, it has “waterproof speakers under inside the hood by the grill.” Okay.…

Daihatsu Kei Truck in the US
If what’s missing from your life is a single-seat pickup with a three cylinder engine and four-speed trans, this is just the ticket! Kei Cars are common in Japan and underachieve certain weight and size figures in order to be taxed at lower rates versus typical passenger cars. This example would typically see use as…

An Off-Road SSR?
If you want a truly unique off road vehicle, this could be just the ticket. The SSR launched as a hardtop/convertible cruiser for the older half of the Baby Boomer generation back in the 2000s. This retro-styled trucklet sat atop the same platform as the Trailblazer, Envoy, Bravada, Ranier, Ascender and 9-7x. At first, it…

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…
