Yule…er…Ute Tide! 1977 Holden One Tonner
Any car person worth his or her weight in dung knows that Australia loves its utes, but not everyone knows that genuine chassis cab configurations were available at times. Today’s feature is a 1977 Holden HZ One Tonner and is one such beast. Oddly, this one found its way to Indianapolis. Mileage is stated as…

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…

Z21: The Zombie Truck
Yes, it’s called a D21; but we’re referring to this oddity as the Z21 due to its zombie theme. The zombie theme consists of a mural on both sides and the tailgate. For some reason, brass knuckle decals are also featured in several places. Do brass knuckles even work on zombies? The seller claims there’s…

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…

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.…

Rare Mexican VW: Hormiga
The Hormiga (Ant in Spanish), also known as the Basistransporter, was a front-engine, front-wheel drive mini-truck made in Germany and Mexico from 1975 through 1979. In some cases, these were shipped as knock-down kits and built elsewhere. These were only in production for a few years and only in low volume. As such, only a…

Straight Outta China: Wildfire WF650-T with Engine Swap
Those familiar with Wildfire – an interesting name for a gas-powered device – know that they sold Chinese-made trikes in the US with pickup and minivan bodies. Car and Drive famously reviewed one and was less than impressed. The US EPA also had issues with this company. Maybe your experience will differ? These usually feature a…

Advertising Prop: Surf City Belly Up Van
Needless to say, advertising is all about getting attention. Sometimes, that yields genuinely odd vehicles, like this Ford van body mounted upside down on a Ford Ranger pickup. The base vehicle here is a 195K miles, four cylinder-powered Ranger with 5-speed manual trans – probably a pretty basic model. The ad proudly lists a new…

S14 240SX Pickup Conversion
Here’s one we’ve never seen. Not only was this S14 240SX converted into a pickup, but it has a serious lift and massive, off-road tires. The seller claims this can do highway speeds and that everything works except the power windows. Normally, we’d worry about driveline bits, but this car is easy to update with…
