  • Triumph Spitfire / C4 Corvette Hybrid

    Triumph Spitfire / C4 Corvette Hybrid

    What happens when you put C4 Corvette (the seller says “1983 Corvette”, but there’s no such thing) on a Triumph Spitfire mid-section?  Probably a lot of flex, but you also get this feature car. The seller says this project is ready to be assembled, but the whopping two pictures included in the ad don’t show…

  • Part 1999 Chevy Tracker, Part Plane

    Part 1999 Chevy Tracker, Part Plane

    It’s an age old question: what happens when a Cirrus SR22 light aircraft and a 1999 Chevy Tracker are combined?  Here we have the answer. The reserve was not met on this auction, but the phone number of the seller is available as long as eBay keeps the listing around; so a deal can be…

  • 1989 Chevy Van With Ferris Wheel Seating

    1989 Chevy Van With Ferris Wheel Seating

    If you had an extra van and some Ferris wheel seats, you’d do the same. The seller is wise enough not to claim it’s a good idea to ride in the rear seats at highway speeds; so don’t get any idea.  What would YOU do with this oddity? Click for eBay ad Lohman, MO, USA…

  • Cool Oddity or just Waste of Taxpayer Money?

    Cool Oddity or just Waste of Taxpayer Money?

    Supposedly, this “Baha style” (SIC) oddity was the result of SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) grants to the tune of $1.5M (click for link to one grant).  We don’t know exactly how that works, but it would seem that some sucker might call this a bargain at $16,500.  On the other hand, it’s not clear…

  • 90s Accord Convertible

    90s Accord Convertible

    Do you love the 90-93 Accord like we do?  Sure, it was a front driver and only offered four cylinder engines; but, from a design perspective, this was the pinnacle for Accord.  We call it the Euro Accord.  So, if you love it, too, have you ever wondered what it would look like topless?  Wonder…

  • How About a Joat?

    How About a Joat?

    Or is it a Beep?  Either way, it’s a Jeep made into a boat.  Clearly, this project started with too much free time and “hold my beer.”  Interestingly, this redneck is in Massachusetts.  This is no Amphicar competitor, by the way, as it appears that it must be trailered to move on the road.  As…

  • Shortened Shoebox: Shortbox?

    Shortened Shoebox: Shortbox?

    Shoebox is a term often used to refer to the 1949 through 1950 Fords – particularly the sedans.  Today’s feature started life as a 1949 Sedan and is now a shortened roadster.  That’s not necessarily a good thing. The seller states that this Ford was shortened, and that’s an understatement.  It was not only radically…

  • WTT means What The Truck?!

    WTT means What The Truck?!

    It seems someone has decided it makes sense to combine a 1985 Dodge shortbed pickup with a 2003 Mercedes Benz ML320 frame, powertrain and drivetrain.  Not surprisingly, they didn’t get far, and now the seller wants you to bail him (or her?) out of this madness. The seller does describe this pretty well, so we…

  • Convertible Chevy Dually with 454

    Convertible Chevy Dually with 454

    Structural rigidity?  What’s that? This Chevy dually has had its roof chopped entirely off and its windsheild chopped, as well.  No roll bar was added for support, so this much have ‘interesting handling.  The only good news is it’s body on frame, so, in truth, it’s less of a handling problem than an overall rigidity…

  • GMC Jimmy Plus Sea Ray 185 Equals Oddimobile

    GMC Jimmy Plus Sea Ray 185 Equals Oddimobile

    Every now and then, someone decides they can do better than Amphicar.  Usually, these are crappy cars that don’t work at all as boats.  That’s the case here; so, alas, Amphicar wins. There’s nothing we can say here that would help. Click for eBay Alpharetta, GA, USA $4,089 with eight bids, reserve not met and…
