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…

Pinnacle of Taste and Sophistication: Gucci Range Rover
Here we have an English truck (always a questionable choice to begin with) modified with a vinyl roof, gigantic Gucci logo and really, really ugly wheels. Needless to say, we’re not big fans of this “VIP” treatment, nor of brand whoring.

Highly Customized Suzuki X90
Because the Suzuki X90 just wasn’t weird enough on its own, this one has been modified into a wanna-be off roader. Despite the 39-inch super swampers, the seller advises that this car is for “sunny day driving, or mild to moderate off roaring.” The sunny day warning relates to the complete lack of a top…

FrankenPacer! AMC Pacer 4×4
What do you get when you combine a 1976 Pacer with GM axles, an AMC V8 and International Scout transmission and transfer case? Well, this… Okay, it’s possible the V8 is original, but the rest is an interesting combination of parts and it results in a pretty amazing ride height. Hopefully, this actually offers some…

Two-Stroke Pre-Samurai
Long before the Suzuki Samurai graced US shores, Suzuki offered the LJ. The Samurai was considered basic in the 1980s and this was just as basic in its day, featuring a 0.5L, two-cylinder engine. Off-road capability was always part of the story, though. This example is a (possibly more rare) tin top version and…

The Anti-Donk?
It seems most sedans raised to this extent wear 26-inch (or greater) diameter wheels. In this case, a Chrysler 300 body is mounted atop an older Chevy Blazer K10 frame. This could be the anti-donk, or maybe this is the redneck donk. In any case, this should actually have off-road capability. The ad for this…

Mid-Engine Military Volvo
We in the US didn’t see them often, but Volvo made some thoroughly impressive and interesting military vehicles over the years. This C303 platform was under many truly a go-anywhere vehicles, and today’s feature is the “TGB 1111” variant, which means it’s the (sporty?) cabriolet version. The seller provides almost no information, but we know…

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.…

Plymouth Acclaim Plus Chevrolet Blazer Yields THE ACCLAZER!
What do you get when you cross a Plymouth Acclaim and a Chevy Blazer? Behold, it’s the Acclazer! The seller states that this currently has not title, but that perhaps one can be gotten. I’m not sure public roads really need this, but that’s for the next owner to decide. The 350 supposedly runs well…

AMC Eagle Wagon with Manual
Wagon body, inline six cylinder engine, all wheel drive and a clutch pedal – does it get any better? Well, okay, there are faster and more attractive wagons that check those boxes, but they lack the retro coolness of this one. The particular example has about 130K miles, which means the ubiquitous AMC 4.2-liter I6…
