Oldsmobuick: Old School Custom 1983 Cutlass with Buick 3.8 Turbo Power
Essentially nothing on this car was left unmolested, which is probably just the way the original owner wanted it. Some very odd choices were made; but we respect the use of the 3.8L turbo V6 in this body. The shop selling the car provides very little info, but the engine seems to have a number…

One-Pic Pony: Poor Ad for Interesting, Wooden Crosley
Here we have a 1947 Crosley – something we love in any body type – with a homemade, wooden body. Unfortunately, the seller has included only one image, which means we can’t even see the front. Needless to say, we’re intrigued, but also worried about the mass of this beast. Click for eBay ad Perrysburg,…

MonzaMino!
Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like: the Vega-based Monza made into a cruck. This seems to be a well done conversion and actually preserved a bit of storage space behind the front seats. Strip away the pickupness and this is a 103K-mile Monza with six cylinder and automatic. None of that is exciting, but…

1991 Volvo 240 Crew Cab
We’ve seen Volvo 240 pickup conversions before, but never a crew cab! This one retains rear doors and a rear seat, although the seat back angle doesn’t scream comfort. This seems to be a very well done pickup conversion which started with a wagon. The bed is even trimmed out on top and the tailgate…

Volvo 940 Batmobile
Admit it, you’ve all looked at delightfully boxy, 80s and 90s Volvos and wondered what they would look like as Batmobiles. Well, someone decided to find out. There’s a lot of DIY handiwork here and the photos mostly speak for themselves. Here’s a quote we love: “a few spots where hot glue was used ,…

Cadillup: Cadillac Caribou “High Roller”
Ah yes, another 70s Cadillac pickup conversion. This one was done by Caribou, supposedly out of the bay area, and has since been treated to a Tiffany Blue paint job, wood bed slats and, among other things, a “unique” high roller interior. This is quite the project, but the $75K asking price is pure crack pipe.…

Almost Famous: Rexona Ad Drag Mustang
We first saw this and imagined it was someone’s idea of a cool custom. Thankfully, this was custom-built for a Rexona deodorant ad. The seller claims this can be converted back to a street car. We’re not sure; but maybe it can if all VIN plates, etc. are present. The hard part might be passing…

The Anti-Donk?
It seems most sedans raised to this extent wear 26-inch (or greater) diameter wheels. In this case, a Chrysler 300 body is mounted atop an older Chevy Blazer K10 frame. This could be the anti-donk, or maybe this is the redneck donk. In any case, this should actually have off-road capability. The ad for this…

AMC Concord Pro Street Surf Wagon
Woodgrain, surfboard, tubbed rear and small-block Chevy. A winning combo? We like wagons because of their do-everything nature. Usually, that means they drive like a car and haul like an SUV. Today’s feature car is perhaps less versatile, but still has a split personality. It looks like a utilitarian, early 80s woodgrain wagon and has…

Possible George Barris Mitsubishi 3000GT
Strange choices were made – possibly by the late, great George Barris. The seller claims this is a Barris custom and the dash does appear to have his signature. Of course, the same seller states that this car is for “sail”. We don’t see a sail, rudder or keel, but they could be hidden. Basically,…
