1967 Datsun Roadster 7-fer
We’ve featured several two-fers and a few three-fers, but this is our first seven-fer. It’s also located about one hour east of my home town AND involved brown! The buyer of this lot gets seven roadsters, including two nice, complete cars, two closer to parts car status and three in between. A bunch of additional…

Pontiac Sunbird EV with Parts Car
The “Austin Arrow” is a Pontaic Sunbird Convertible converted to electric power using a bunch of car batteries in a semi-replaceable unit. This one also comes with a non-running Sunbird Turbo parts car, which, IMHO, would be the more desireable car. Perhaps you can use the EV as the parts car? The seller provides…

90s Accord Convertible
Do you love the 90-93 Accord like we do? Sure, it was a front driver and only offered four cylinder engines; but, from a design perspective, this was the pinnacle for Accord. We call it the Euro Accord. So, if you love it, too, have you ever wondered what it would look like topless? Wonder…

Triumph TR-6 with Nissan RB25DET Power!
Many a Triumph has seen upgrades over the years, often with American V8 power; but this owner took a different approach. Purists may not like Japanese power in a TR, but this seems like the best way to get monster power into this while appearing somewhat stock and maintaining the smooth inline six cylinder theme.…

Acura Integra Convertible Pickup
Calling this a pickup is a bit of a stretch, but it does sort-of qualify. What more can we say? This is our favorite generation of Integra, primarily due to the hideous headlights on the one that followed it. That makes these bizarre mods a bit offensive. Luckily, the end result is entertaining! The seller…

Shortened Shoebox: Shortbox?
Shoebox is a term often used to refer to the 1949 through 1950 Fords – particularly the sedans. Today’s feature started life as a 1949 Sedan and is now a shortened roadster. That’s not necessarily a good thing. The seller states that this Ford was shortened, and that’s an understatement. It was not only radically…

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. The seller claims this is one of one, but provides no information on what company did the conversion. Supposedly, this has been reinforced with a hidden, steel tube structure. Do you…

1976 Monte Royce
Okay, it’s not called a Monte Royce, but this is a “Custom Cloud”, which is a Rolls Royce wanna-be based on a 1976 Chevy Monte Carlo – convertible, in this case. The Custom Cloud was a strange project in the 70s, with the owner supposedly patenting Rolls’ grill design in the US, as Rolls had…

Interesting Car, Strange Choices: Custom Triumph TR8
The TR8 was a short-lived, V8-powered version of the famously wedgy TR7 sports car. Being British and having eight cylinders in the 70s/80s, you know the Buick-engineered, Rover-purchased 215 CID (3.5L, if you must) all-aluminum V8. These are highly-regarded sports cars, but this owner decided that wasn’t enough. The seller says this done in the…

Convertible Chevy Dually with 454
Structural rigidity? What’s that? This Chevy dually has had its roof chopped entirely off and its windsheild chopped, as well. No roll bar was added for support, so this much have ‘interesting handling. The only good news is it’s body on frame, so, in truth, it’s less of a handling problem than an overall rigidity…
