1975 Pinzgauer 710K
The Pinzgauer 710 was a military vehicle manufactured in the UK by Austria’s Steyr-Daimler-Puch (now Steyr Motors) from 1971 to 1985 and which was used by many a military around the world. This is also one of the best off-road vehicles ever made, although it’s not the best on-road vehicle, given four cylinder power and…

A True Minivan: The Cushman Vanster
Okay, so it’s really a microvan. Anywho, if you don’t know Cushman, you probably haven’t paid much attention to the meter maid parking enforcement vehicles used in urban centers. These are sometimes road legal and are generally represent minimalist transporation, sometimes inside industrial facilities. Today’s feature vehicle is a Cushman of the four-wheel variety (some…

1961 Thunderbird Pickup Conversion
Prior to February of 2018, we had featured precisely zero heavily customized 1960s Thunderbirds. That changed on February 9, when we published the Big Block Shorty, and now we have a 1961 T-Bird made into a pickup.

Super Rare (in US) Peugeot P4

Rare British Sport Car: Swallow Doretti
This little beauty is supposedly one of 263 made and uses Triumph TR-2 mechanicals with a bespoke, mostly aluminum, body and steel frame. We think that’s a winner, especially given the looks, which seems to take bits from early Ferraris and early Healeys. Plus, anyone who knows Jaguar’s origins would be excited about the Swallow…

Reader Submission: Shorty Ford Fiesta
Here we have what appears to be a dramatically shortened Ford Fiesta. From what we can tell, a sedan front was combined with a hatch rear, yielding homemade three-door. If not that then maybe just the front valence from a sedan was used? What YOU think??

Potential Kabinenroller Deal: 1955 Messerschmitt KR200
The Bruce Weiner microcar museum auction, in 2013, set a high bar for microcar prices, as some of the best example of the rarest and most desirable among the breed went up for sale. It seems that Isettas and Messerchmitts have kept fairly high prices ever since, so this Messy will be a deal if the…

GMC Sonoma Turned Psuedo-Rat-Rod
Rat Rod seems to be very loosely defined, these days, and this is an example. Most of this was once a GMC Sonoma/S15, but there’s not much left and a V8 has been shoved into it. The builder obviously likes chains (well, it is from a custom bike shop) and has done some cool little…
