Reader Sighting: 1.5 Festivas!
Reader Steve N. sent us this sighting. No further explanation was available, but what else do you really need to know? It seems the owner made a mini-truck out of the Festiva and then missed the cargo space? Regardless, we love it! Festivas make great autocross cars, but it’s not clear that this trailer can…

Matched Set of 1.5 PT Cruisers
Here we have a package deal made from two salvage PT Cruisers, though it’s not clear why the first, driving one was salvaged. The second one apparently had a damaged front end, and was thus cut in front of the rear doors to make a trailer. Both have matching two-tone paint jobs with excess chrome.…

Part 1999 Chevy Tracker, Part Plane
It’s an age old question: what happens when a Cirrus SR22 light aircraft and a 1999 Chevy Tracker are combined? Here we have the answer. The reserve was not met on this auction, but the phone number of the seller is available as long as eBay keeps the listing around; so a deal can be…

1989 Chevy Van With Ferris Wheel Seating
If you had an extra van and some Ferris wheel seats, you’d do the same. The seller is wise enough not to claim it’s a good idea to ride in the rear seats at highway speeds; so don’t get any idea. What would YOU do with this oddity? Click for eBay ad Lohman, MO, USA…

1991 HondaMural
A 1991 Accord LX sedan with an automatic trans is not remotely exciting or strange in and of itself; but adding murals creates a true Oddimobile. It seems one side is a jungle and one is a desert, complete with butterfly and bunny. The engine has blown head gasket and the seller is supposedly considering…

Homemade Nissan Pulsar Pickup
Admit it. If you like odd cars, you’ve looked at the Pulsar Sportbak at least once and wondered why it couldn’t have a hatch-off mode, making it into a small truck. Apparently, this seller/builder wondered the same and decided his/her Pulsar should be permenently converted into a truck. The result is suitably odd, potentially mildly…

UR Sylvia: 1978 S10 200SX Roller
The original 200SX was a stylized coupe built on the same platform as the B210/Sunny coupe. A family down the street had one of these when I was growing up, but these are rare finds today. That’s probably because most people considered them ugly AND they rusted away. Today, however, this is oddly appealing. Among…

Bronx Cheer? No, Bronx Electric Truck!
By today’s standards, this truck looks homemade, but a closer look reveals it is simply a very early, electric van. In this case, very early means 1906, according to the seller. Before the internal combustion engine won, there were many electric vehicles on the market. This one is a commercial van and the seller claims…

Coachbuilt 1979 Ford Thunderbird Convertible
No, Ford never made a Ford convertible between the mid-60s and the 2002 “final bird.” Coachbuilt convertibles were very much a thing in this era, as there were no factory convertibles for several years, due to DOT regulations which were rumored, but never came about. These beasts filled a void and, thanks to them, we…

Crosley-Based, Homemade 1958 Pickup
Are you tired of driving around looking like everyone else? If so, a homebrew, Crosley-based truck might be just the ticket! This is rumored to have everything necessary to be street legal, and there is an old inspection sticker on one window; so there could be hope. That being said, the single-cylinder lawnmower engine isn’t…
