Zoe Zipper Three Wheeler
From the microcar files, we have this Zoe Zipper, which was a rebadged Mitsuoka Motors BUBU 501. This little three-wheeler was supposedly capably of 45 miles per hour, but we imagine that’s terrifying. Regardless, we love it!

Here we have what is claimed to be a factory racer built upon a highly unusual vehicle: The Simca 1204.

“Fun Ride” Custom Buggy with Miata bits and GM V6 Power
This little beast was first built in 2000, and the owner supposedly COMPLETELY (his or her caps, not mine) rebuilt it in 2013. Per the seller, the suspension, steering, brakes, differential & axles all came from a Mazda Miata originally, but the seller reworked the suspension; so it’s not clear how much Miata is left.…

DKW F94U Sonderklasse Universal

Six-Door 1979 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Armbruster Stageway Limo
Do you want a unique family hauler without too much cargo space? How about an Olds Eighty-Eight with six doors? Sure, it probably hauled families to funerals, but at least it’s not an actual hearse. As a bonus, this sale includes a 1970s child seat/death trap!

Homebrew 1913 Stutz “Replica”
Replica implies a certain amount of accuracy in reproduction; so perhaps we’ll consider this more of a tribute. Either way, someone took a 1964 Ford pickup and made something that looks somewhat like a 1910s-era racer.

1974 Opel Manta Luxus
Any Opel Manta is an oddball these days, but the Luxus luxury edition gets bonus points. The downside is that this one lacks a clutch pedal.

Custom VW One-Seat Roadster
It’s a bit difficult to classify this oddball, but roadster isn’t too far off. We see sand rail styling influences, but no off-road capability.

Rolling Weenie: Six-Wheeled 1991 Geo Metro Stretch
The pictures speak volume here, but we do like a couple quotes from the ad: “Custom fabricated by a Boeing airplane manufacturer ” “With 6 wheels and three cylinders it’s not the fastest car in the world. Steep grades you have to drop into third at around 40-50mph” “Leaks oil typical for a 91′”
