WTF Custom Hot Rod with Mitsubishi Four Cylinder
Odd, homemade design plus Mitsu four cylinder and manual tranny? Sure! This supposedly has bits from an XJ6 and from whatever Mitsubishi sacrificed an engine to the cause. The top came from a Geo Metro (convertible?). Someone spent a lot of time on this and is not likely to see a return on his or…

6-Wheel Festiva Pickup!
From time to time, we see shitboxes – often Ford Festivas – chopped and made into pickups. The front-wheel drive setup and rear suspension seem to lend themselves to this. This is the first six-wheeler Festiva we have ever seen, however. The seller points out that this is one of a kind and the ad…

Short Type 2: Project car or Objet d’Art?
Here we have a shortened VW Bus, much like that sold be Gas Monkey Garage at Scottsdale this year, but in rather worse condition. This bus has no engine, trans or title and is claimed to be rusted out. This is likely going to be an art object at this point, but would sure be…

Shorty Falcon. Never Ask Why.
The seller says it’s “hard to put a price on this unique vehicle”, but never mentions the significant body mods. It appears this has been made into a two-seater, but the wheelbase is the same, as the Falcon trunk was not originally this long. They say desert people do crazy things, and it’s important to…

Homemade Trike with Lots of Acronyms
Supposedly, this ad comes from a wife selling her husband’s electric vehicle dream. There is mention of possible production, but it seems the company never got off the ground. The relatively short ad manages to name drop the SEMA, NASCAR and DOT acronyms. The worst thing about this sale is that at least some of…

Surgically Altered, Topless Cougar
The seller of this car claims this is on of 96 factory convertibles, but Mercury/Ford never produced a convertible Cougar or T-Bird on this platform. In all likelihood, this is a Car Craft conversion, given the year and the location. Regardless, conversions like this were around back in the day and weren’t cheap. This made…

They All Look Alike to Me
A racist comment? Not at all, when applied to boxy SUVs. Apparently, others think they all look the same, as this isn’t the first time we’ve found a Japanese SUV posing as a Mercedes. Almost two years ago, we featured the Gelandejetero, a wanna-be Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen made out of a Dodge Raider, which was really…

Eckler’s 1969 Corvette Shooting Brake
Here we have an incomplete 1969 Corvette Sport Wagon shooting brake project. According to the seller, this is a relatively low mileage Vette. A previous owner started the project in the 70s and passed away before it was completed. The car then went into storage for 30 years or so. There were a few kits…

Blasphemy or Interesting? Rodded Porsche 928
Porsche purists have long struggled with the 928, as it was once planned to be the replacement for the 911. Obviously, that didn’t work out, but it seems to have threatened many an old-school 911, based on mockery of this car’s front-mounted, vee configuration, water-cooled engine. Things have started to turn around a bit the…

What Better Vehicle to Haul your Cadillac Land Yacht?
Here we have what we hope is a one-of-a-kind Cadillac car hauler. That is, in and of itself, awesome, but we also like any ad that states “comes with spare Eldorado.” “Ran when parked.” Those are famous last words. There are no interior pictures, but the seller says it needs work. Click for Craigslist ad…
