  • Awesomely Bad, Africa-Themed 70s Van

    Awesomely Bad, Africa-Themed 70s Van

    Lots of 70s van had murals, but we’ve never seen one with an Egyptian/northern Africa theme quite like this.  Also, we rarely see murals in such good condition. The seller claims this is one of few modified by Dodge; but we have no reason to believe this wasn’t a dealer- or owner-commissioned custom.  That was…

  • Corvette Down: Poorly Modified C3

    Corvette Down: Poorly Modified C3

    Though this looks like a really bad Fiero custom from some angles, most will notice quickly that it’s not a mid-engine car.  Under this is a 1977 Corvette (AKA C3), which one can see in the roof line. The seller claims this has some relation to Hendrick Motorsports, which, among other things, is a NASCAR…

  • WTF Jeep

    WTF Jeep

    Did you ever look at a Jeep CJ and wonder what it would be like if you deleted its ability to go over speed bumps, not to mention going off-road?  Well, here’s your answer.  The seller calls it the Testabassa SR. The work here seems to be well done, but we question the project’s intent.…

  • One Pic Wonder: 1985 Honda Accord Limousine

    One Pic Wonder: 1985 Honda Accord Limousine

    Yes, indeed, it’s a 1980s Accord limo!  We’re curious about the interior, but the seller has denied us photos. Apparently, a company in Canoga Park, CA converted several of these, though we don’t know why.  This one appears to have many needs; so it will be a special someone who decides to buy this and…

  • Dodge Caliber “Show Car” with Lambo Doors and SEMA Histroy

    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…

  • Beyond the Typical Fiero Custom

    Beyond the Typical Fiero Custom

    This uses some Fiero bits, but is a mostly custom three-wheeler with a mid-mounted GM 350.  What’s not to love? The seller claims this was built as a daily driver, but it wasn’t.  It went 2,500 miles on the Hot Rod Power Tour in 2010 and now has 4,000 miles.  Hmm. Regardless, if this thing…

  • Donkilicious Buick Centurion

    Donkilicious Buick Centurion

    Apparently, this Buick Centurion once belonged to Darren McFadden, the Doak Walker award-winning running back now with the Dallas Cowboys.  Perhaps it’s for sale because the colors don’t work for his current team.  Of course, these aren’t Raiders or Razorback colors, either; so that may not be it.  Regardless, this features 32-inch wheels, donkilicious lift…

  • PT Cruiser Body on Tube Frame

    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…

  • When Is a Thing not a Thing?

    When Is a Thing not a Thing?

    First off, a Thing is a real thing; but there’s not much Thing left in this thing. This is a tube frame buggy that happens to wear a VW Thing body.  We think it’s awesome.  $29K isn’t cheap, but the work looks great and this should be a lot of fun if you have a…

  • What’s Better than an AWD, Manual Wagon?

    What’s Better than an AWD, Manual Wagon?

    How about one modified to be a pseudo-Subaru Baja? This was once an AMC Eagle wagon; but someone took an angle grinder to it and added too much diamond plate.  The end result is a not-so-weatherproof mini trucklet with a carpeted bed.  Wasn’t that one of the downfalls of the Lincoln Blackwood? Fittingly bidding sits…
