Vettoronado?
We don’t know why this car exists. Perhaps the owner only had access to a 70s Corvette, but always wanted an early 80s Toronado or Riviera? Aside from a lot of “interesting” body mods, this is a stock Corvette. The body mods are extensive, however, and definitely make one ask “WTF?” Click for Craigslist ad…

Movie-Inspired, Automotive Madness: The Spirit of Nemo
This is not an original movie car, but is a replica of two cars built for the movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. It’s one serious replica of one massive car, though, and supposedly took 6,500 hours to build. This car largely speaks for itself, but Hemmings had an article on it last year; so that,…

Mercury-Branded Pinto Cruising Wagon with Manual Trans
If you know oddball cars, then the Pinto Cruising Wagon needs no introduction. No other vehicle brought quite as much 70s van culture into a compact size. What could be better? A Mercury version! Let’s make one thing clear in order to avoid claims of false advertising: This is a Pinto with a Mercury front…

Hideous Gucci GMC Denali
If you find this tasteful, you should buy it. You should be institutionalized. Where to begin? This thing has two-tone black/Gucci pattern exterior paint/wrap (?), lambo doors, 30-inch wheels and the interior one would expect on such a thing. Also, per the seller, it has “waterproof speakers under inside the hood by the grill.” Okay.…

An Off-Road SSR?
If you want a truly unique off road vehicle, this could be just the ticket. The SSR launched as a hardtop/convertible cruiser for the older half of the Baby Boomer generation back in the 2000s. This retro-styled trucklet sat atop the same platform as the Trailblazer, Envoy, Bravada, Ranier, Ascender and 9-7x. At first, it…

Isetta / VW Combo Project
The last time we broke a story on a modified Isetta, it made the rounds on all of the major online car sites. We’re not sure that will happen this time… It’s not that today’s feature isn’t interesting, it’s that it’s very much an incomplete project and the seller has only included two images. Apparently,…

A Cutlass That’s Not Cut-less
Yes, this Cutlass was cut. Olds never offered a convertible version of this generation of Cutlass. As a matter of fact, this entire generation of A- and G-Body never had a factory convertible. That didn’t stop someone from chopping this one as part of a lowrider project that never got off – or on? –…

Cutlass with Batmobile and Plane Influences
Apparently, this was a promotional vehicle related to one of a few high-speed, jet-powered semi trucks. What does a white, Batmobile-esque Cutlass have to do with fast trucks? We don’t know, either. Regardless, this may be the oddest Cutlass extant. This is powered by a GM 350 crate engine, which should do a lot better…

Custom Flatbed Loader
What do you do when you have an old Chevy 4×4 pickup, a Kubota loader, a Farmall tractor hood and some wood lying around? Make a homemade loader! Did we mention the unidentified bench seat? Regardless, this is a cool, funky Frankenstein that might actually be useful for just the right buyer. Be weird most…

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.…
