Over The Top Custom ’72 Mustang
This is a custom 1972 Mustang done by Eddie Paul, who has a long resume of custom work for the film industry, including The Fast and the Furious and numerous other major films. This is a full 70s-style custom and looks like it was made to compete with Mark Hamil’s “Corvette Summer” monster. The question…

Scion xB Pickup
Yes indeed, someone chopped a 2006 Scion XB to make a very strange pickup. Also, according to the seller, it has “airbags suspicion to lift while you drive.” So, if you drive this, you will suspect you have air suspension, but you won’t be able to confirm that? Basically, this is a Scion xB with…

Our Most 70s Post in Quite Some Time
We’re fans of any ad that rightfully includes the “time capsule” quote and proudly calls attention to the presence of a Craig 8-track player and Muntz speakers. Yes, this is a full 70s custom built on a Datsun pickup in the heart of the Corvette Summer days. Click for Craigslist ad Riverside, CA $7,500 The…

Lincoln Plus Ranchero Equals Linchero?
If you’ve seen a ’59 Lincoln Continental, then you can understand how converting one into a pickup is not too far-fetched. These cars had ridiculously long trunks from the factory. This car underwent that conversion, along with some interesting, old school customization. The end result is certainly unique. The seller says this is in excellent…

Semi-Based, Big-Nose Pickup
Apparently, one can take a 1963 Autocar semi truck cab and hood and mate than to a bed on a one-ton Chevy frame. We know this only because the result is today’s feature Oddimobile. What’s an Autocar, you ask? Apparently, the automaker started in Pennsylvania in 1897 with cars and became a truck-only company as…

WTF S2K
Briefly, I was surprised that we’ve never featured a Honda S2000; but then I thought about it and there usually nothing odd about them. They’re just great, pure sports cars. This one, however, first had a hideous body kit installed and then was wrecked. A quick interwebs search showed what the body kit looked like…

Gasser-Style 1975 Datsun Pickup
Why not build a Datsun truck into a 60s-style drag strip terror? Oddly, this truck uses a 283 Chevy, but with two 4-barrel carbs and a tunnel ram to ensure plenty of air and fuel are delivered. While it’s an odd choice for a gasser build, it does have the correct fender well headers. Oddly…

One Mean Vega Kammback
Yesterday, we featured a 1998 V8 Cougar made into a shooting brake. Today, we have a Vega Kammback shooting brake made into a V8 monster. Vega V8 conversions pop up from time to time, but a converted wagon is fairly rare. Of course, this isn’t exactly a sleeper, with the giant hood and massive exhaust,…

Weirdest Barris Kustom?
Well, okay, George Barris’ shop made a lot of crazy movie, TV and celebrity cars; so this may not be the craziest all-around, but it’s remarkably odd given its late-90s build and apparent non-celebrity usage. Under all this is a 1998 Cougar, and a low-mile car at that. Compared to some of the fascia-job T-Bird…

Throwback Friday: Custom S-10 Blazer
Once upon a time, customized mini-blazers were fairly common; but I can’t say I’ve ever seen this ‘puffy top’ approach employed. The seller claims this was a ‘show truck’ back in the day. It does indeed have some sort of body kit, in addition to shaved bumpers, ‘Vette wheels and that remarkably odd soft top.…
