Cadillup: Cadillac Caribou “High Roller”
Ah yes, another 70s Cadillac pickup conversion. This one was done by Caribou, supposedly out of the bay area, and has since been treated to a Tiffany Blue paint job, wood bed slats and, among other things, a “unique” high roller interior. This is quite the project, but the $75K asking price is pure crack pipe.…

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…

Six-Wheeled Smart Car Pickup Conversion
Have you always wanted a Smart car, but you were worried you couldn’t haul bulk compost if you took that plunge? If so, this is the vehicle for you! The seller is a promotional company that modifies vehicles for advertising purposes, but it seems they push the “Smartruck” as something of a masterpiece. This one…

1978 Civic Convertible
Yes, two custom Honda convertibles in two days. Admit it, though, you’ve thought about chopping the top on an early Civic. Did it look like this in your dreams? Unlike yesterday’s custom Honda/Acura NSX convertible, this one looks more like a home job. That’s not to say the work looks terrible; but it does appear…

Worst NSX Ever?
Did you ever wonder what an NSX would look like as a full convertible (not just a targa)? Well, here’s your answer. If you are also into gangsta rap stars’ cars, this qualifies, given it belonged to Ice Cube. Presumably, this seller hopes to cash in on Straight Outta Compton hype. For the concerned purists,…

1979 Cadillac Seville Pickup Conversion with Crack Pipe Price
You want odd proportions? We got ’em! This poor ’79 Seville was subjected to “coachbuilt” pickup conversion, probably early in its life, as these sort of things happened back then. The ’76 Seville was a big deal. While youngsters might look at this and see a tank, this was a much more compact and cleanly-styled…

Homemade Nissan Pulsar Pickup
Admit it. If you like odd cars, you’ve looked at the Pulsar Sportbak at least once and wondered why it couldn’t have a hatch-off mode, making it into a small truck. Apparently, this seller/builder wondered the same and decided his/her Pulsar should be permenently converted into a truck. The result is suitably odd, potentially mildly…

Quickie: E30 Pickup Conversion
Not only did someone convert an E30 3-Series into a pickup, but this seller claims to be selling to work on his or her “other one.” It shouldn’t be surprising that someone who would do this (or buy this) in the first place might have two. Is this really is/was a 325is, it’s sad that…

Three on the RV Tree: Econoline Pickup RV
Anyone can find a Volkswagen Westfalia Camper, your host included, but this is a bit more unusual. Ask yourself when you last saw an Econoline pickup, then whether you’ve ever seen an RV version. This truck features an inline six (mid-mounted, of course) with a three-speed manual and column shift. The seller provides very little…

4Runner Pickup Conversion
Did you lament the death of the first-generation 4Runner’s removable top in 1989? Apparently, someone did, as they opted to modify a second-gen vehicle to look somewhat like a first-gen with the top off. Was that a good idea? Because the photos are lacking, it’s not clear what in the back, but we assume it’s…
