How About a Joat?
Or is it a Beep? Either way, it’s a Jeep made into a boat. Clearly, this project started with too much free time and “hold my beer.” Interestingly, this redneck is in Massachusetts. This is no Amphicar competitor, by the way, as it appears that it must be trailered to move on the road. As…

Exxcellent Convertible Maxima with Suicide Doors
Have you ever looked at a mid-2000s Maxima and wondered what it would look like as a convertible with suicide doors? Wonder no more.

Surgically Altered, Topless Cougar
The seller of this car claims this is on of 96 factory convertibles, but Mercury/Ford never produced a convertible Cougar or T-Bird on this platform.
