“Eco” Ford F-250 Running on Biodiesel
This is an interesting truck, to say the least. The seller made some mods which, in theory, help fuel economy. This is not the usual pitch from the seller of an F-250 diesel, but the bio-diesel/veggie oil crowd is, well, different (and proud of it). We’re not sure whether this truck is a nightmare or…

“Stoopid” 1990 S10 Blazer with Supercharged SBC Swap and Too Much Yellow
This is not subtle, not understated; but we like the swap. Can it be saved? Someone put a lot of time and money into this truck and the work looks to have been well done. We wonder what it would cost to change this to more of a sleeper look in black or another dark…

1963 Econoline Mystery Machine Replica
Are you a serious Scooby fan? If so, you need this. Buy it and I’ll give you a scooby snack. Articles have been written attempting to identify the Mystery Machine’s roots, but, if I recall correctly, the cartoon van had traits from several 60s vans, all, of course, mid-engine. This 1963 Econoline is as good…

Former Lane Motor Museum Push-Me-Pull-You 1979 Honda Civic!
How do we know this came from the Lane? We’ve seen it in the basement! Also, anything this weird in Nashville probably has something to do with Lane. So, what is it? It’s two front halves of 1979 Honda Civics grafted together, resulting in two driver’s seats, side-by-side and facing opposite directions. As clearly noted…

Get to Know this Homemade Geo Metro Pickup
That’s right, folks, 1997 represented the end of a glorious run for GM’s often-confused, import-based Geo brand. Does that make this a collectible? Probably not – especially considering the continuation of the Metro as a Chevrolet product for several more years. Today’s feature, however, isn’t really about brand heritage, it’s about yet another tiny hatch…

Modified 1988 Suzuki Samurai with VW TDI Power
First, this is an older TDI engine; so don’t assume VW will buy it back! With that out of the way, we think this is a great swap idea. Anyone worth his or her weight in compost knows that the often-disrespected Samurai is an amazingly capable off-roader. Adding torque via a turbo-diesel is, we think,…

Quickie: 1993 Centurion Ford Bronco Dually
Talk about a tease! Here we have one of the rare Centurion four-door Bronco conversions, apparently set up as a dually. Sadly, that’s about all we know about it… The ad does indicate that the truck has an automatic trans (no surprise) and gas engine. To get any more info, you have to call Charlie.…

Cowavanagon, Dude!
We don’t need to add much here – this is a 1990 Vanagon converted into some sort of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles party van. The concept is bizarre, but we love certain quotes from the run-on description: “In addition to this auction I am including a replica Leonardo suit from the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja…

Studebaker Business Coupe on Ford Explorer Frame
Why not? According to the seller, everything here works. The next owner will need to decide whether to keep the rat rod concept going or repaint. We think it should probably stay this way, but it’d be tempting to seal up that hood, if possible. Apparently, this carries a clean Studebaker title; so this may…

Rat Rod 1967 VW Beetle
The brown is strong with this one. Here we have a heavily rat rodded ’67 Beetle with luggage rack, rear fender skirts and many a personal touch. This is truly an oddity and we’re definitely drawn to it! The engine is a 1641 and was rebuilt within the 4K miles, per the seller. The exterior…
