Redonkulous, Oversized Ford Pickup
Does your neighbor’s new one-ton dually make your 3/4-ton pickup look puny? Maybe you need this Ford F800 with a custom, 14.5-foot bed. We all know there are full-size truck buyers who actually use trucks and then there are the 85% of the private truck market for whom these are all about masculinity defined by…

WTT means What The Truck?!
It seems someone has decided it makes sense to combine a 1985 Dodge shortbed pickup with a 2003 Mercedes Benz ML320 frame, powertrain and drivetrain. Not surprisingly, they didn’t get far, and now the seller wants you to bail him (or her?) out of this madness. The seller does describe this pretty well, so we…

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…

The Warrior – A Delightful Combination of Hideous and Creepy
What do you get when you add murals, mods, tufting, custom cabinets, a Vista Cruiser roof and far too many LED lights to an Astro van? This – THE WARRIOR! The seller is both the 4th and 2nd owner of this van. Apparently, he sold it and then traded something to get it back. Somewhere…

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…

2012 Camaro on 32s (DubTwelves?)
Doesn’t the title say it all? We’re just amazed this has been bid up to almost $25K. Click for eBay ad Miami, FL, USA (of course!) $24,600 with 26 bids, no reserve and half a day to go No, it’s not photoshopped. Again… These guys don’t look very happy. How about a sideways picture of…

4WD Wagon FTW!
No, Ford never built ’em like this. This is a custom job involving a 1972 Gran Torino County Squire and something else. The seller claims this has a recently rebuilt 351 Cleveland with “special cam headers and carburetor.” The one engine shot shows no carb, so we’re not sure what to think of that. Presumably,…

Beautifully Executed 1977 Hiccup
If you’ve ever wanted a 1977 Honda Civic pickup conversion, this is the one to get! The seller points out that this conversion was done with great attention to detail and that people ask all the time if it is a factory truck. From the pictures, we understand how many would make that mistake. It’s…

Why Doesn’t YOUR Automatic, V6 Accord Have Fairies?
Today’s feature is mind boggling. This is a 1992 Honda Accord with lambo-style scissor doors, 20-inch rimz and a number of other poor choices. The owner claims this car has 158K miles and seven TVs. Do you need more info? Maybe you do: The “car club” associated with this vehicle has a MySpace page! It…
