Pinnacle of Taste and Sophistication: Gucci Range Rover
Here we have an English truck (always a questionable choice to begin with) modified with a vinyl roof, gigantic Gucci logo and really, really ugly wheels. Needless to say, we’re not big fans of this “VIP” treatment, nor of brand whoring.

Custom 2009 VW Rabbit Caddy
Do you love both the recent VW Golf/Rabbit and the old school VW Caddy? Someone loved both and decided to make a tribute. Sadly, the result is much less functional vs. a hatchback or an original Caddy. The seller claims to have over $70K invested in this vehicle and we can almost believe it. Fans…

Straight Outta Florida: The Boss Hummer H1, Now Wearing Zombie Apocalypse Gear
Apparently, this was built as the ultimate hunting vehicle and was shown at a ridiculous toy show in Dubai in 2015. Needless to say, this was originally done in Florida, despite its current California location. Because this is 2016, something as odd and intimidating as this hunting vehicle can’t be allowed to exist without zombie…

The Anti-Donk?
It seems most sedans raised to this extent wear 26-inch (or greater) diameter wheels. In this case, a Chrysler 300 body is mounted atop an older Chevy Blazer K10 frame. This could be the anti-donk, or maybe this is the redneck donk. In any case, this should actually have off-road capability. The ad for this…

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…

“DragonSlayer” Mitsubishi Eclipse
Are lambo doors, murals and other poor choices missing from your life? If so, maybe you need “The Dragonslayer.” This is pitched as a “show car”, as these types of things always are. Underneath, it’s a four cylinder, automatic Eclipse from the least enthusiast-friendly generation. The only mechanical bright spot is the supercharger, but the…

Zombie Apocalypse Honda Civic
Here was have a 2004 Honda Civic EX with some interesting mod choices. Was it modified for night rallies? We say no, as the roof rack makes no sense. So, we must assume this was inspired by the Hyundai Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine. Too bad the tire/wheel choice won’t make for good off-roading. Underneath…

Mini Cooper Airplane Car
Let’s get this out of the way: this doesn’t fly. It’s just a novelty, but it’s an unusual one. Apparently, this was used by Delta Airlines for some sort of promotion. The Delta decals/logos have been removed; so it’s now just a white Mini with fiberglass airplane bits. Want attention? This might be for you……

765 RWHP, 6MT Dodge Challenger with Gullwing Rear Doors
Straight out of Florida comes this beast built my a limo company. We suppose converting a Charger (i.e. starting with a four door) would have been too easy. This one started as a two-door and was extended, at least as far as we can tell. Because stretching a two-door Pony car into a limo wasn’t…

NisoFiniti TX56?
Apparently, someone loved the idea behind the Lincoln Blackwood so much that they decided to create the Nissan/Infiniti version. The seller calls is a NisoFiniti. We think it might be called the TX56. Given the large number of shared parts between QX (this was when only one Infiniti was called QX) and Titan, this conversion…
