SurrealMobile Found Art Van
If you’re really into found art, this is the van for you! Given this is in Chicago, a Houstonian might consider purchasing it and moving it south to join the Art Car festivities… The artist, who claims to be some sort of royalty, may or may not have made a name for himself around Chicago…

Nearly Ideal: 80s French Turbo Diesel Wagon
Someone donated this awesomely odd 1986 Peugeot 505 diesel wagon, probably because it doesn’t have a clutch pedal. Could their tax write-off become your project? This Peugeot 505S turbo diesel wagon has about 240K on the odometer, which means the engine is barely broken in, but the car around it might have some issues. The…

Three on the RV Tree: Econoline Pickup RV
Anyone can find a Volkswagen Westfalia Camper, your host included, but this is a bit more unusual. Ask yourself when you last saw an Econoline pickup, then whether you’ve ever seen an RV version. This truck features an inline six (mid-mounted, of course) with a three-speed manual and column shift. The seller provides very little…

Major Want: Sleeper Fairmont Wagon
For most people, the Ford Fairmont is completely forgettable, yet it did bring us the Fox platform, which underpinned Mustangs, Capris, Thunderbirds and Cougars for arguably too long (not to mention the Zephyr!). Today’s feature is a Fairmont wagon with 302 crate engine, 5-speed manual and limited-slip differential. We like. The seller claims that damn…

Cheapest Rally Fighter Available?
Normally, you’d have to spend about $100K for one of these Arizona-built beasts, but this one is a bit more than a third of that price. Did we mention it has been rolled? Given this is built around a tubular (totally??) space frame, the body panels are not really necessary. Could you strip this and…

4Runner Pickup Conversion
Did you lament the death of the first-generation 4Runner’s removable top in 1989? Apparently, someone did, as they opted to modify a second-gen vehicle to look somewhat like a first-gen with the top off. Was that a good idea? Because the photos are lacking, it’s not clear what in the back, but we assume it’s…

Triumph TR-6 with Nissan RB25DET Power!
Many a Triumph has seen upgrades over the years, often with American V8 power; but this owner took a different approach. Purists may not like Japanese power in a TR, but this seems like the best way to get monster power into this while appearing somewhat stock and maintaining the smooth inline six cylinder theme.…

How About a Joat?
Or is it a Beep? Either way, it’s a Jeep made into a boat. Clearly, this project started with too much free time and “hold my beer.” Interestingly, this redneck is in Massachusetts. This is no Amphicar competitor, by the way, as it appears that it must be trailered to move on the road. As…

Acura Integra Convertible Pickup
Calling this a pickup is a bit of a stretch, but it does sort-of qualify. What more can we say? This is our favorite generation of Integra, primarily due to the hideous headlights on the one that followed it. That makes these bizarre mods a bit offensive. Luckily, the end result is entertaining! The seller…
