1995 Subaru Legacy Wagon Camper Conversion
Don’t get too excited, as this isn’t a full Westfalia job. Really, someone did ye olde pickup conversion, but failed to separate the bed and built a frame with canvas top, instead. The result is something only mildly more useful than a wagon for sleeping, but with a much greater weirdness factor and limited protection…

The Original Stelvio was not a Crossover. Behold the Autech Zagato Stelvio AZ1
Some won’t know the Nissan Leopard, but, in the US might know a reskinned version known as the Infiniti M30. This rear-driver shares some guts with the Z31 300ZX. Today’s feature, however, is a Leopard with a really cheesy Italian suit made of aluminum and fashioned by Zagato. Yes, folks, Zagato has made some real…

Not a GLH: Weird, Topless Omni with Makeshift Roll Cage
We see some mulletude in this car. The front looks like a typical shitbox Omni, but the back is another story. The end result of chopping the top of an Omni and welding or bolting in a cage is strange, and that’s what we love it. Keep in mind the fact that shitbox is a…

1940 Ford Coupe with Lincoln Mark VII Underpinnings
Have you ever looked at a 1940 Ford and a 1980s Mark VII LSC and wondered what would happen if they got friendly? Well, now you know. In this case, the one who decided to answer the question with a lot of custom work also decided that the Mark VII interior just wasn’t purple enough.…

Three-Wheeled, Leaning Scooter: Honda Gyro NN50
Honda made a whole series of three-wheeled, leaning scooters in the early- to mid-1980s, but only a few variants made it to the US and only for about three years. This NN50 is arguably the sportiest model, though it is powered by a 50cc gas engine. The idea here is you gain traction and stability…

We’re big fans of subcompact (AKA shitbox) pickup conversions, and we’re excited to see our first-ever Accent conversion!

Custom, Miniature Peterbilt on Ford F250 Chassis
This isn’t the first wanna-be semi truck we’ve featured, but it’s the best. The quality of the work appears to be excellent here. So, if you only need an F250’s capability, but you want a big rig, this could be just the ticket!

Straight Outta Salt Lake: 15-Passenger Van with Air Suspension and Custom Rimz
Have you ever wondered what a 15-passenger van would look like dropped and on chrome wheels? Wonder no more!

Apparently, Volvo has no Sense of Humor
For years, enthusiasts, myself included, have enjoyed Dave Barton’s “Prancing Moose” Volvo decals and accessories. Out of the blue, however, Volvo has issued him a Cease and Dessist letter. Why the sudden change? We don’t know, but we wonder if its somewhat-new owner Geely sees value in license fees or sees this symbol as a…

1966 Dodge A100 Custom Love Palace Van
This post is really all about the pictures. We see a lot of custom vans with fairly frightening interiors, but this really takes the cake. Are you brave enough to go inside with a black light?
