Homemade VW/Chrysler/Ford/Chevy Hot Rod
There’s not much else we can call this because it’s part VW, part Chrysler, part Ford, part Chevy and perhaps others. It’s definitely unique and it’s definitely not boring. The seller claims to have built this from about nine other cars, though it seems it has more VW parts than anything else. Power comes from…

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…

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…

Matched Set of 1.5 PT Cruisers
Here we have a package deal made from two salvage PT Cruisers, though it’s not clear why the first, driving one was salvaged. The second one apparently had a damaged front end, and was thus cut in front of the rear doors to make a trailer. Both have matching two-tone paint jobs with excess chrome.…

Hemi Wagon With Manual Trans – Not What You Think
No, it’s not a late model Dodge Magnum, it’s a 1956 DeSoto Wagon. This features the “Firedome” engine, which was DeSoto’s version of the corporate Chrysler Hemi. Given it’s a 1956 model, this should be a 330 CID (5.4L) version with about 230 horsepower and plenty ‘o torque – maybe even enough to move this…

K-Car + Wagon + Turbo + Wood Grain + Brown
This is a thing of (strange) beauty. The seller says this needs cosmetic work and we agree. What he or she doesn’t mention is the fact that the engine is out of the car, though one could infer that based on the note that a rebuilt engine is included. This is at the LeMons $500…

Rare Shelby-Dodge Collection
There’s been a lot of talk about 80s cars lately, with some of the most collectible starting to go up in value. This means Gen Xers are starting to enter the collector world to snap up the IROCs and SVOs they dreampt of back in the day. At the Auctions America Fort Lauderdale event in…

Turbo K-Car Variant Two-Fer!
Okay, the Shadow/Sundance was technically a P-Body, but that was a K-Car derivative. Regardless, what you get here is two turbo Chrylser products for $4,500. What’s not to love? Well, okay, build quality is questionable and the styling on the LeBaron (at least I’m pretty sure it’s a Lebaron – with the four headlights) is…

Quickie: One of the Last Breaths of the 70s. In 1981.
The 70s didn’t give up easily. While Ford drastically shrunk its Thunderbird and Cougar personal luxury cars in time for the 1980 model year, Chrysler rolled out this bad boy which, believe it or not, was also significantly smaller than previous iterations. This one’s been ‘upgraded’ with a continental kit! There isn’t much else we…
