  • Custom VW One-Seat Roadster

    Custom VW One-Seat Roadster

    It’s a bit difficult to classify this oddball, but roadster isn’t too far off. We see sand rail styling influences, but no off-road capability.

  • Rolling Weenie: Six-Wheeled 1991 Geo Metro Stretch

    Rolling Weenie: Six-Wheeled 1991 Geo Metro Stretch

    The pictures speak volume here, but we do like a couple quotes from the ad: “Custom fabricated by a Boeing airplane manufacturer ” “With 6 wheels and three cylinders it’s not the fastest car in the world. Steep grades you have to drop into third at around 40-50mph” “Leaks oil typical for a 91′”

  • StudeBlazer: Studebaker Lark on Blazer K5 Frame

    StudeBlazer: Studebaker Lark on Blazer K5 Frame

    We love old Chevy Blazers, so we briefly shed a tear when we find one has been sacrificed; but it’s a relief when the end result is awesomely odd. In this case, someone decided a 1962 Studebaker Lark two-door post would make a good off-roader. We tend to agree.

  • 6-Wheel Jeep CJ

    Jeep made and sold a CJ6, but this isn’t it. The CJ6 was a long-wheelbase CJ, offered with two or four doors. Today’s feature is a CJ8 with six wheels and the option of two-, four- or six-wheel drive!

  • “The Anomaly”: Home-Built Hot Rod

    Here we have a home-built hot rod with parts from a 1950s International pickup, Jeep mail truck, 1960s Mercedes and Chevy S-10. I’m sure I missed something, but, regardless, the end result is unique.

  • Reliably Weird: 1985 Toyota Van Pickup Conversion

    We’ve featured our share of van to truck conversions, but haven’t previously encountered one based on the creatively named 1980s “Toyota Van.” This seems like a winning combination of weirdness and reliability.

  • Viper-Based Hot Rod

    Not too long ago, we featured a hot rod made by partially dismantling a 1986 Corvette. Today’s feature is similar, but started with a 1994 Dodge Viper and ended with custom fiberglass bodywork.

  • Custom Jeep Renegade Comanche Replica

    For its annual Easter parade of awesomeness (the Easter Safari), Jeep created a Renegade-based Comanche pickup, which was revealed in 2016. Today’s feature is a replica, which appears to be well done.

  • Controversial “Flying” Car: The M400 Skycar

    For sale is one step along the continuing path to the flying car. This one is alleged to have flown, but some are quick to point out that it was tethered to a crane at the time. You’ll have to make your own decision on whether this is worth $1 million or more…

  • Amazingly 70s Custom Corvette

    This might just be the most 70s Vette ever – at least among those NOT used in Corvette Summer with Mark Hamill.
