Reader Submission: Shorty Ford Fiesta
Here we have what appears to be a dramatically shortened Ford Fiesta. From what we can tell, a sedan front was combined with a hatch rear, yielding homemade three-door. If not that then maybe just the front valence from a sedan was used? What YOU think??

Potential Four-Fer: Piaggio Ape Calessinos
The Piaggio Ape has a long history including deliveries and shuttling rich people around beautiful islands. Supposedly, the four available from this seller are rare special editions. Whether that’s true or not, we think they’re cool. These little beasts are powered by 422cc Lombardini diesel twins and put out 8 horsepower! Sure, they’re not for…

Tron/Transformers Chevrolet Spark (?)
We’re oddly drawn to the Chevy Spark, though we often wish the Sonic’s turbo I4 would end up in it in order to make a really goofy little pocket rocket. Why is this here? Well, it’s because the photo below grabbed our attention. The seller seems to have applied what he or she calls “Tron…

Carriage Roof on CTS Coupe
This is a rolleyes post. While recently better products have lifted Cadillac’s credibility, a certain “experienced” demographic still likes to add on tidbits from decades past. In this case, the uniquely-styled CTS Coupe was subjected to a “carriage roof.” This is for sale in Vegas, which would have been our fourth choice, after New York/New…

Deminsia Custom out of Florida
Want something truly different? Try this custom, which is, oddly, called the Deminsia. Maybe that’s because it forgot which end was the front. This custom was built by The Car Factory in Micco, Florida. It does seem to be well executed; so, if you’re into the style, maybe this is for you. The price is…

VSP WTF EV
This cool, futuristic EV appears to have been a marketing/PR tool for VSP North America, which sells portable generators. That’s about all we know. The seller does give some basic specs and points out that this is powered by seven lead-acid batteries. That might be less power than a Vanguard Citicar had in the…

Cheapest Rally Fighter Available?
Normally, you’d have to spend about $100K for one of these Arizona-built beasts, but this one is a bit more than a third of that price. Did we mention it has been rolled? Given this is built around a tubular (totally??) space frame, the body panels are not really necessary. Could you strip this and…

2012 Camaro on 32s (DubTwelves?)
Doesn’t the title say it all? We’re just amazed this has been bid up to almost $25K. Click for eBay ad Miami, FL, USA (of course!) $24,600 with 26 bids, no reserve and half a day to go No, it’s not photoshopped. Again… These guys don’t look very happy. How about a sideways picture of…

Homemade Trike with Lots of Acronyms
Supposedly, this ad comes from a wife selling her husband’s electric vehicle dream. There is mention of possible production, but it seems the company never got off the ground. The relatively short ad manages to name drop the SEMA, NASCAR and DOT acronyms. The worst thing about this sale is that at least some of…

Euro-Emissions Oddity: Aston Martin Cygnet
The European Commission planned to adopt corporate average emissions standards in 2012 and that scared some small makes. Aston, sitting all-alone (post-Ford), decided it needed an emissions champ to offset its core product. Thus was born the ill-advised partnership with Toyota and a Toyota/Scion IQ-based Aston microcar. Needless to say, we can’t wait until there’s…
