K-Car retro-rod
We’ve featured more than one 90s Thunderbird retro-rod and recently showed a 90s Camaro-based 57 Chevy wannabe. Finally, we have a Mopar example, this one based on, of all things, a Dodge 600 convertible, which may well be the boxiest of K-cars, possibly of all cars. Of all the weirdo retro-rods we’ve features, this one…

Custom something-or-other
We featured this car in our coverage of June 8th Irvine Cars and Coffee. It’s not at all surprising to see something parked prominently at that event for sale within weeks. What’s funny here is that we’re still not sure what it is. There’s mention of a Fiat title and Honda power (from what?). There…

Honda S600 three-fer
Old Hondas tend to come in groups and parts lots. These predecessors to the S2000 are the oldest Honda cars of all and this is quite a lot: three cars in various conditions and some engines, transmissions and other parts. We love these little sports cars for a variety of reasons, including extremely light weight,…

Too boring to drive?
A Granada Ghia with 63K miles only means one thing – the owner didn’t want to be seen driving this thing. To the seller: Do not despair, as some bearded hipster will come along and overpay for this in order to be more in touch with the 70s and 80s that they never experience ‘live’.…

Sweet green Datsun
We love the Datsun 1200 – tiny, light and fun to drive in its own way, even with the rather wimpy stock engine. This one has some tasteful upgrades that generally preserve its classic looks. The only thing better would be a fastback of similar quality. Click for eBay ad Portland, OR $2,550 with 4…

Retro rod from hell
It’s hard to believe this isn’t based on a Thunderbird, as those are everywhere; but it’s not hard to figure out what car lies underneath this monstrosity. Click for eBay ad Olive Branch, MS $1,075 with 3 bids and reserve not met 07/15/2013 update: Has ended without meeting reserve twice. Latest was $3,740 with 19…

Yugo two-fer
What’s better than a Yugo? Two Yugos! What’s better than two Yugos? A two-few that includes the SPORTY GVX!! We wonder if it really would be possible to put together one running car. Obviously, the GVX would be the one to attempt to fix. What could possibly go wrong? Click for eBay ad Trion, GA…

Just another weird lotus
The original Elite was a beautiful car and among the first street cars produced by Lotus. This Type 75 Elite, however, is one of the Rodney Dangerfields of Loti – it gets no respect. This odd looking hatchback offers a Lotus twin cam four cylinder and, from what we’ve read, amazing handling. As with the…
