HHR SS Panel, but not one you want…
Here we have a Chevy HHR SS Panel, which, in and of itself, is an intriguing vehicle. This one, however, has hydraulics and 20-inch spinners, along with a flame job with burning money. You’ll have to decide whether that is desirable in your world. In stock form, the HHR SS could hit 60mph in about…

Here’s One for Next Year’s Independence Day Parade
What do you get when you combine a C4 Corvette with the VIN from a 1966 Ford wagon and a homemade wood body? This thing. The seller is obviously proud of this oddity and we guess he or she should be. You’ll either love this or hate it, so we don’t need to add much…

Remember the Lumina? If so, why?
This front-wheel drive two-door vaguely resembles Chevy’s NASCAR entries in the early 90s much like today’s Camry vaguely resembles Toyota’s entry. Given this body was used in the race series, the Lumina was subjected to NASCAR Special Edition treatment! This particular version celebrates the late, great Dale Earnhardt. If you’re a die hard NASCAR fan,…

Does The World Need A Volvette 1800?
One day, someone looked at his or her 1992 Corvette and said “why not make that into a Volvo 1800 replica?” The rest is history. Strange, strange history. Underneath, this is a claimed fully functional 178K mile Corvette. The pictures really tell the rest of the story. We find it hard to believe anyone will…

Rainbow Bright’s 1977 Chevy Scottsdale CK1
I believe Rainbow Bright had a car accessory, but I never knew about the full-sized truck. That seems to be the inspiration behind the customization applied to this 1977 Chevrolet Scottsdale pickup,which sheds the macho image of most full-sized pickups. Disregard the paint choices and this is a desirable 4×4 stepside with a 400 CID…

Eckler’s 1969 Corvette Shooting Brake
Here we have an incomplete 1969 Corvette Sport Wagon shooting brake project. According to the seller, this is a relatively low mileage Vette. A previous owner started the project in the 70s and passed away before it was completed. The car then went into storage for 30 years or so. There were a few kits…

Doored is a Verb?
We’ve certainly heard of bagged trucks and other vehicles, but we’ve never heard of “doored.” This is a horribly incomplete project based on an original plan which was questionable at best. If you’re into this sort of thing, this might be a good starting point, as it seems more has been spent than is asked,…

The Legendary Citation X-11
The X-11 was the performance version of the Chevy X-11, but savvy enthusiasts know that the first-year car (1980 model year) lacked engine upgrades included on later versions. This 1981 has the “high output V6”, which means 135 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque. In this small car, that’s pretty good torque and it was…

Almost No Info and Almost No Car
This is listed as a project car, but that’s a bit of a stretch. The only info listed in the ad says automatic and fuel: electric. It looks to me like there’s no trans and no engine or motor. Clearly, this was a shotgun target, so it’s comical that someone thinks he or she can…

Semi-Based, Big-Nose Pickup
Apparently, one can take a 1963 Autocar semi truck cab and hood and mate than to a bed on a one-ton Chevy frame. We know this only because the result is today’s feature Oddimobile. What’s an Autocar, you ask? Apparently, the automaker started in Pennsylvania in 1897 with cars and became a truck-only company as…
