An Urban Legend Lives? Alleged Shelby CV525
The seller claims this is a Shelby CV525, which is basically an internet rumor, and that is it one of ten, with only two in the US. Why would ANY Crown Victoria exist outside the US? Why is this interesting, you ask? Because it claims to be a Panther with supercharger and manual trans. Unfortunately,…

Rare 6MT Jaguar X-Type
The Jaguar X-Type was based on the Ford Mondeo platform, but was offered only with all-wheel drive in the US to help it compete with RWD offerings from BMW and Mercedes (and later the Japanese luxury brands). Although it was panned by most when compared to the Germans and Japanese, enthusiasts know this platform and…

4WD Wagon FTW!
No, Ford never built ’em like this. This is a custom job involving a 1972 Gran Torino County Squire and something else. The seller claims this has a recently rebuilt 351 Cleveland with “special cam headers and carburetor.” The one engine shot shows no carb, so we’re not sure what to think of that. Presumably,…

SHO means Sierra High Output?
The Merkur XR4ti, known as the Ford Sierra XR4i to the rest of the world, was a rear-drive luxury hatchback with turbocharged, four cylinder power. Though not a sales success due to terrible marketing decisions, it has a strong enthusiast following due to a very high fun-to-drive factor. The seller of today’s car decided to…

Here’s One for Next Year’s Independence Day Parade
What do you get when you combine a C4 Corvette with the VIN from a 1966 Ford wagon and a homemade wood body? This thing. The seller is obviously proud of this oddity and we guess he or she should be. You’ll either love this or hate it, so we don’t need to add much…

UR SVT Lightning? Child’s Play!
A first-gen Ford SVT Lightning is something of an Oddimobile in any case, as this was the only ‘performance’ version of this generation of F-Series and, frankly, was fairly modest. This one isn’t exactly stock, however, and one of the mods is what landed it on this page. There originally had a mildly hopped up…

Truck Free or Die!
This is a slightly smaller monster truck, but has plenty of size for a road vehicle. If you REALLY like Ford, this might be for you. If you need to justify the purchase, use the practical, all-season four-wheel drive and economical diesel to convince your wife. Where is this redneck truck, you ask? Why, it’s…

The One and Only Satin Galaxie 500 5.9 Cummins
A modern, turbo-diesel inline six in a full-sized 60s sedan. Why not? This Galaxie was featured on BangShift.com before it was painted matte black. It features a Cummins turbo-diesel inline six with a claimed 500+ horsepower and who knows how much torque. The asking price is high, but so is the cool factor! The matte…

Did You Know There Was An AWD Aerostar?
Your humble host was aware of the AWD Astro/Safari, but not its competitor, the AWD Aerostar. Why is this interesting? Because this could provide cool (in an ugly way), retro, all-weather transportation, including parts hauling. The seller claims this is a 50K mile van and the condition sure looks great. This has crank windows for…

6-Wheel Festiva Pickup!
From time to time, we see shitboxes – often Ford Festivas – chopped and made into pickups. The front-wheel drive setup and rear suspension seem to lend themselves to this. This is the first six-wheeler Festiva we have ever seen, however. The seller points out that this is one of a kind and the ad…
