1996 BMW 318ti Pickup
We’re big fans of pickup conversions and BMW 318tis, so what’s not to love about this? Add in an M52B28 I6 swap and grabber blue paint and we’re in love!

1961 Thunderbird Pickup Conversion
Prior to February of 2018, we had featured precisely zero heavily customized 1960s Thunderbirds. That changed on February 9, when we published the Big Block Shorty, and now we have a 1961 T-Bird made into a pickup.

Big Block Shorty: 1966 Thunderbird
We are endlessly fascinated with the custom “shorty” cars, and this T-Bird is really something special – love it or hate it – though some serious work remains.

Reader Submission: Shorty Ford Fiesta
Here we have what appears to be a dramatically shortened Ford Fiesta. From what we can tell, a sedan front was combined with a hatch rear, yielding homemade three-door. If not that then maybe just the front valence from a sedan was used? What YOU think??

GMC Sonoma Turned Psuedo-Rat-Rod
Rat Rod seems to be very loosely defined, these days, and this is an example. Most of this was once a GMC Sonoma/S15, but there’s not much left and a V8 has been shoved into it. The builder obviously likes chains (well, it is from a custom bike shop) and has done some cool little…

Open-Top S10 Blazer with SBC Swap!
Anyone who knows 80s cars knows Chevy never made a convertible S10 Blazer, so this is a custom job, but it does look like it was meant to be. The V8 swap solves the extreme slowness problem these had, but we worry that the lack of a proper top means you’re screwed if you take…

“Fun Ride” Custom Buggy with Miata bits and GM V6 Power
This little beast was first built in 2000, and the owner supposedly COMPLETELY (his or her caps, not mine) rebuilt it in 2013. Per the seller, the suspension, steering, brakes, differential & axles all came from a Mazda Miata originally, but the seller reworked the suspension; so it’s not clear how much Miata is left.…

Homebrew 1913 Stutz “Replica”
Replica implies a certain amount of accuracy in reproduction; so perhaps we’ll consider this more of a tribute. Either way, someone took a 1964 Ford pickup and made something that looks somewhat like a 1910s-era racer.
