  • Wankel Engine + 4×4 + Articulation.  No Kidding!

    Wankel Engine + 4×4 + Articulation. No Kidding!

    Here we have an uber-rare West German Croco off-road vehicle.  It floats, it has four-wheel drive AND steering and it’s powered by a Wankel.  What’s not to love? Anytime you find or own a vehicle about which the best source of information is Lane Motor Museum, you’re onto something good.  I thought the background in…

  • Grand Wigglyneer

    Grand Wigglyneer

    This is our second Grand Wagoneer in about a week, but how could we pass this one up?  It seems someone decided a Grand Wagoneer would make a great convertible.  That makes about as much sense as a Murano Convertible, but the Murano at least lost a couple doors in the process. This one retained…

  • Raiders of the Lost Mitsubishi-Chrysler Children

    Raiders of the Lost Mitsubishi-Chrysler Children

    Long before Chrylser sold Dakotas to Mitsubishi, the Raider was a three-door Mitsubishi Montero sold in Dodge dealerships in the 80s.  We previously featured one that someone decided needed to be a baby Mercedes G-Wagen.  This one’s closer to stock. No mileage or interior shots here, but the paint looks good, if that matters to…

  • WTF Pricing: Jeep Grand Wagoneer

    WTF Pricing: Jeep Grand Wagoneer

    Sure, it has almost no miles, but $119K?  Really?  What would one do with this?  Would you drive it and risk it being worth the $15-30K this would fetch with 30 to 50K miles, or just look at it? The seller is a (or THE) well-known Grand Wagoneer restoration shop, so they should know better.…

  • Cherokee Chief

    Cherokee Chief

    These just don’t come around often anymore, but were once a fairly common sight.  They were always badass, and the big block in this one backs that up. Obviously, the exterior isn’t good aesthetically, but the seller claims there’s little bodywork to be done, so it’s mostly paint if you would choose to touch it.…

  • Don’t call it the Nissan Petrol

    Don’t call it the Nissan Petrol

    Here we have a Nissan Patrol from the 1960s.  While these are great trucks, it’s sad that the early once are the only ones the US market ever officially got.  The Patrol soldiers on today as a sister product to our Infiniti QX56- errr – QX80 and past generations have served well in various  UN-frequented…

  • Bomb included?

    Bomb included?

    Here we have an armored car sitting on 66-inch tires with no engine.  I just want to know whether the bomb included, or is just a novelty in the background. What can we add to this? Click for eBay ad Gregory, TX $2,500 with ZERO bids and rumored $5,000 BIN price 02/19/2014 update: Ended at…

  • Not a lotta Lada

    Not a lotta Lada

    I love the Lada Niva. After all it’s a shitbox hatchback with real off-road capability and Soviet charm.  The were never sold in the US, but were available in Canada for some time.  Unfortunately, this one isn’t as good underneath as it looks on top. The seller warns this one is good and rusty underneath.…

  • WTF? 6×6 Datsun Pickup with Buick Grand National Engine

    WTF? 6×6 Datsun Pickup with Buick Grand National Engine

    You’d think something this unusual would warrant more than one photo, but it seems the seller doesn’t think so. A quick Google search, including things like “6×6 Datsun” indicates this truck has made the rounds, including Jalopnik, but I somehow missed it.  I strongly recommend reading the ad text below. Click for Autabuy ad Branson…

  • Not for US consumption: 1998 Mistubishi Pajero Jr. "Flying Pug"

    Not for US consumption: 1998 Mistubishi Pajero Jr. "Flying Pug"

    We’ve never seen one of these and probably won’t for years. This 1998 can’t be registered in the US for almost ten more years. This supposedly isn’t an official kei car due to size, but it’s in the same vain.  The Pajero Junior was a small SUV for the Japan market and this Flying Pug…
