  • The Original Stelvio was not a Crossover. Behold the Autech Zagato Stelvio AZ1

    The Original Stelvio was not a Crossover. Behold the Autech Zagato Stelvio AZ1

    Some won’t know the Nissan Leopard, but, in the US might know a reskinned version known as the Infiniti M30. This rear-driver shares some guts with the Z31 300ZX. Today’s feature, however, is a Leopard with a really cheesy Italian suit made of aluminum and fashioned by Zagato. Yes, folks, Zagato has made some real…

  • Custom, Miniature Peterbilt on Ford F250 Chassis

    Custom, Miniature Peterbilt on Ford F250 Chassis

    This isn’t the first wanna-be semi truck we’ve featured, but it’s the best. The quality of the work appears to be excellent here. So, if you only need an F250’s capability, but you want a big rig, this could be just the ticket!

  • 1997 Civic Camper Trailer Conversion

    1997 Civic Camper Trailer Conversion

    If you always wanted a camper, but all you have is a car with significant front-end damage, this could serve as inspiration. Apparently, however, the seller sought this out and bought thise Civic in pre-wrecked condition.

  • 1996 BMW 318ti Pickup

    1996 BMW 318ti Pickup

    We’re big fans of pickup conversions and BMW 318tis, so what’s not to love about this? Add in an M52B28 I6 swap and grabber blue paint and we’re in love!

    Fallout Fans, Here’s Your Chevy Astro Evacuation Vehicle!

    If you’re a huge fan of the Fallout video game series, this is the Chevy Astro for you. If not, well, it’s just an interesting midi-van.

  • Shifty Panther: 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis with Manual Swap

    Shifty Panther: 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis with Manual Swap

    The Panther platform had a very long life, mostly underneath taxis, police cars and grandparental transport. These offered rear-wheel drive and periodically attracted enthusiasts off and on over the years, with the Mercury Marauder being the ultimate factory iteration. One thing all factory versions had in common, however, was an automatic transmission. That’s been corrected…

  • Rolling Weenie: Six-Wheeled 1991 Geo Metro Stretch

    Rolling Weenie: Six-Wheeled 1991 Geo Metro Stretch

    The pictures speak volume here, but we do like a couple quotes from the ad: “Custom fabricated by a Boeing airplane manufacturer ” “With 6 wheels and three cylinders it’s not the fastest car in the world. Steep grades you have to drop into third at around 40-50mph” “Leaks oil typical for a 91′”

  • Commie Crawler: 1990 Lada Niva

    Here we have arguably the best Soviet car ever made – one so good that it’s still in production. Its the Lada Niva, the ultimate off-road hatchback! As a 1990 model, this is still Soviet, too, not only Russian.

  • Mid-Engine, Manually-Shifted Van: 1991 Previa

    Mid-Engine, Manually-Shifted Van: 1991 Previa

    Sure, it looks like an egg, but we respect the Previa. What other minivan has offered a mid-engine layout, manual trans, supercharger and all-wheel drive? Sadly, one couldn’t combine all of these concepts, as it seems all supercharged Previas were of the automatic, rear-wheel drive variety.  Today’s feature is a rare one with its five-speed…

  • “Stoopid” 1990 S10 Blazer with Supercharged SBC Swap and Too Much Yellow

    “Stoopid” 1990 S10 Blazer with Supercharged SBC Swap and Too Much Yellow

    This is not subtle, not understated; but we like the swap. Can it be saved? Someone put a lot of time and money into this truck and the work looks to have been well done.  We wonder what it would cost to change this to more of a sleeper look in black or another dark…
