Dodge Caliber “Show Car” with Lambo Doors and SEMA Histroy
The Caliber just wasn’t odd enough, so someone decided to paint one “chameleon green” and add 22-inch wheels and lambo doors. In fact, someone did this for Lear corporation and it was shown as the 2006 SEMA show. As is often the case with such a car, this is all show (love it or hate…

PT Cruiser Body on Tube Frame
If you’ve been really close to buying a PT Cruiser but were held back due to cylinder count and FWD, this is the car for you! While the exterior says PT Cruiser here, it’s actually a tube frame with Mustang II front end (a common hot rod trick), a Ford Ranger rear end and a…

Hideous Gucci GMC Denali
If you find this tasteful, you should buy it. You should be institutionalized. Where to begin?

Psuedo-HMMWV Custom Off-Roader
The seller claims this was built for desert warfare at a cost of over $100K; but doesn’t say by whom nor how that adds up to a $9,900 asking price today. Regardless, it’s certainly odd. This was apparently built to be seriously durable and the images back that up, what with beefy axles and suspension.…

Boring Mitsu Eclipse Automatic with Art by Keith Haring’s Former Roommate
Remember the third generation Eclipse? Yes, it’s the one that ditched turbocharged, all-wheel-drive fun in favor of a decent V6 and styling details from a Pontiac Grand Am. Most enthusiasts have tried to forget this iteration. Why, then, is a automatic-equipped one here? It’s all in the “art.” Ignore the art and this is a…
