Thoroughly Pimped W140 S320
Sometimes Tacky is the most appropriate term for a vehicle. It’s ever better when the car made tacky was the base model to begin with and when the asking price is comical at best. First off, yes, Mercedes Benz offered an inline six in the boxy W140 S-Class. You’ve probably seen one but the owner…

Plymouth Acclaim Plus Chevrolet Blazer Yields THE ACCLAZER!
What do you get when you cross a Plymouth Acclaim and a Chevy Blazer? Behold, it’s the Acclazer! The seller states that this currently has not title, but that perhaps one can be gotten. I’m not sure public roads really need this, but that’s for the next owner to decide. The 350 supposedly runs well…

Lambiero: Not Just Another Fiero-Based Italian Wannabe
We see Fiero-based Ferrari replicas for sale on an almost daily basis, but few go for Lamborghini details and few have this much power. In truth, we don’t know why the owner bothered with the Lambo bits on the rear, aside from the fact that the stock Fiero parts likely no longer fit, what with…

Six-Wheeled Smart Car Pickup Conversion
Have you always wanted a Smart car, but you were worried you couldn’t haul bulk compost if you took that plunge? If so, this is the vehicle for you! The seller is a promotional company that modifies vehicles for advertising purposes, but it seems they push the “Smartruck” as something of a masterpiece. This one…

1978 Civic Convertible
Yes, two custom Honda convertibles in two days. Admit it, though, you’ve thought about chopping the top on an early Civic. Did it look like this in your dreams? Unlike yesterday’s custom Honda/Acura NSX convertible, this one looks more like a home job. That’s not to say the work looks terrible; but it does appear…

1979 Cadillac Seville Pickup Conversion with Crack Pipe Price
You want odd proportions? We got ’em! This poor ’79 Seville was subjected to “coachbuilt” pickup conversion, probably early in its life, as these sort of things happened back then. The ’76 Seville was a big deal. While youngsters might look at this and see a tank, this was a much more compact and cleanly-styled…

Monster Subaru Legacy Wagon with STI Engine
Yeah, the title pretty much sums it up. The seller says this is an unfinished project, but doesn’t need too much. We’ll see. This uses a 2005 STI engine with Supra transmission, NP205 transfer case and 1985 Toyota pickup axles. The parts sound legit – can you make it all work? If so, you’ll have…

Not Factory, but Cool: Squareback Pickup
If a VW Squareback isn’t unusual enough for you, in and of itself, why not drive one that’s been converted to a pickup? The seller says this is one of 15 whice were “costumed” in CA in the 70s. We think costumed is a fruedian slip in this context. Anywho, various interweb VW sources indicate…

Lakermobile 1958 Isetta
Are you a Lakers fan AND a microcar fan? If so, this is your ride. This Issetta had a frame-off something. We can’t call it a restoration because it didn’t leave the factory with all of the Lakers regalia. Still, it seems to have been completely mechanically restored and everything else was either restored or…

Ran When Parked: 1974 Datsun Pickup with SBC
Remember the custom mini truck craze? This truck was apparently one of the many victims and was cast aside when another fad took over. This looks like a “needs everything” project; but the presence of a small block Chevy means the mechanical bits can be purchased at Wal-Mart. As such, getting it running might not…
