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…

OC Fairgrounds Cars and Coffee #1 (August 22, 2015)
Today was the inaugural OC Cars and Coffee event at the Orange County Fairgrounds. The event was certainly a success. There were some issues around getting everyone (C&C exhibitors and spectators in, plus swap meet folks) into the event, but that can be worked out. The Ruby’s Diner food truck was a great touch! The…

1987 Subaru GL-10 AWD Turbo Wagon!
Are you looking for a do-everything car? With a turbocharged four cylinder, manual trans and wagon body, this just might be it. This doesn’t have the power of a Passat W8 wagon; but, even at almost thirty years old, this Subaru GL-10 will be much more reliable. This Subie appears to be in amazing shape…

Shortened Shoebox: Shortbox?
Shoebox is a term often used to refer to the 1949 through 1950 Fords – particularly the sedans. Today’s feature started life as a 1949 Sedan and is now a shortened roadster. That’s not necessarily a good thing. The seller states that this Ford was shortened, and that’s an understatement. It was not only radically…

359: The Porsche that Never Was
The seller is this oddity says it’s a rare Porsche 359. Considering that’s not a Porsche, that means this is some sort of kit car – in this case with some Speedster and some 959 styling cues. We assume this is based on a VW, as the seller says it’s a 1971 model and it…

Turbo + Hatchback + Manual = Not as Great as it Sounds
Welcome to the mid-80s, when V8s were just getting back above 200 HP, domestic V6s were dogs and few performance enthusiasts (certainly not domestic US enthusiasts – look at SVO sales figures) were interested in four cylinders. This is the Sunbird Turbo GT, with a 1.8-liter four cylinder putting out a silly-by-today’s standards 150HP. At…

Exxcellent Convertible Maxima with Suicide Doors
Have you ever looked at a mid-2000s Maxima and wondered what it would look like as a convertible with suicide doors? Wonder no more. The seller claims this is one of one, but provides no information on what company did the conversion. Supposedly, this has been reinforced with a hidden, steel tube structure. Do you…
