1940 Ford Coupe with Lincoln Mark VII Underpinnings
Have you ever looked at a 1940 Ford and a 1980s Mark VII LSC and wondered what would happen if they got friendly? Well, now you know. In this case, the one who decided to answer the question with a lot of custom work also decided that the Mark VII interior just wasn’t purple enough.…

“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.

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.

Dismantling a 1986 Corvette Yields a Unique Hot Rod
Here we have an interesting idea. The owner apparently had T-bucket hot rods before and noted (correctly) that they’re not really long-distance cars. We don’t know how, but he ended up with a 1986 Corvette and proceeded to remove most of the body panels, then construct a Model T-type “trunk” and add an old school…

Homemade VW/Chrysler/Ford/Chevy Hot Rod
There’s not much else we can call this because it’s part VW, part Chrysler, part Ford, part Chevy and perhaps others. It’s definitely unique and it’s definitely not boring. The seller claims to have built this from about nine other cars, though it seems it has more VW parts than anything else. Power comes from…

Shortened Corvair Hot Rod
The title pretty much says it all! Yes, this is a hot rod/rat rod built on a Corvair platform and which has been greatly shortened. What’s left of the car shouldn’t weigh much; so the Corvair flat six should move this pretty well. Click for Craigslist ad Dana Point, CA, USA $8,500 Most would assume…

Dually Rat Rod with or without Engine
Ah yes, the “Rat Rod” concept. It seems it can be used to describe just about anything rusty and incomplete, but we’ll venture to say that this is pretty close to the original intent. This is based on a 1926 Model T and a 1958 Dodge dual-axle truck. It looks like the basic structure is…

WTF Custom Hot Rod with Mitsubishi Four Cylinder
Odd, homemade design plus Mitsu four cylinder and manual tranny? Sure! This supposedly has bits from an XJ6 and from whatever Mitsubishi sacrificed an engine to the cause. The top came from a Geo Metro (convertible?). Someone spent a lot of time on this and is not likely to see a return on his or…

Lincoln Plus Ranchero Equals Linchero?
If you’ve seen a ’59 Lincoln Continental, then you can understand how converting one into a pickup is not too far-fetched. These cars had ridiculously long trunks from the factory. This car underwent that conversion, along with some interesting, old school customization. The end result is certainly unique. The seller says this is in excellent…

Retro-Weird. This Time on a Cougar.
We’ve featured these retro-weird imitations of 50’s Fords before, but they’ve all been built on Thunderbirds. This one’s on a Cougar. Okay, that’s pretty much the same car, but it does mean a different C pillar and backlight shape. This is perhaps even more awkward than the T-Bird variety. Is there good news here? Well,…
