Astroghini: The Lambo Van
It seems this van was once on a TV show – funny how quickly we all forget. Anyway, it’s an Astro minivan made to look sorta-kinda like a Lamborghini and with very few functional doors. The seller says this needs to be trailered home, but it’s not clear whether that’s just because it has no…

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…

4Runner Pickup Conversion
Did you lament the death of the first-generation 4Runner’s removable top in 1989? Apparently, someone did, as they opted to modify a second-gen vehicle to look somewhat like a first-gen with the top off. Was that a good idea? Because the photos are lacking, it’s not clear what in the back, but we assume it’s…

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.…

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…

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…

1929 Auburn Trackless Train Conversion
Have we found a Hemmings mystery car? This seller is offering his friend’s 1929 Auburn-based trackless train, which is very cool in an of itself. When looking for info, however, we found two Hemmings articles (one here and one here) with images of what is likely the same vehicle and with a call for…
