Highly Customized Suzuki X90
Because the Suzuki X90 just wasn’t weird enough on its own, this one has been modified into a wanna-be off roader. Despite the 39-inch super swampers, the seller advises that this car is for “sunny day driving, or mild to moderate off roaring.” The sunny day warning relates to the complete lack of a top…

Brand Whore Eldorado
Remember the 1990s Cadillac Eldorado? You know, the personal luxury coupe for the over bingo hall crowd and which put 300 horsepower through its front wheels? Well, this one has suffered at the hands of someone with access to cheap vehicle wraps. We count Louis Vuitton, Michael Kors, Gucci, Chanel (?) and Rolex among the…

Why So Bitter, Senator?
Sure, this post has a weird title, but it’s because today’s feature is a particularly weird car. I remember the Bitter SC from an exotic car book my dad had in the 80s. Basically, it’s an Opel Senator with a custom body (which looks remarkably like a period Ferrari 400) and spruced-up interior. This particular…

Time Capsule Topaz: Two-Door with Five-Speed!
Soon, we’ll have a whole generation that doesn’t remember Mercury, Ford’s red-headed stepchild. That’s sad, as the brand had a few real performance gems over the years. This isn’t one of them, but it is a last holdout of the 80s, even though it was sold in the 90s. The Topaz, of course, was Mercury’s…

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…

What has a Slant Six, Manual Trans, Half Vinyl Roof and T-Tops?
Why, it’s a 1978 Dodge Aspen Special Edition, of course! At least the seller claims it’s a Special Edition. This mostly original, 162K mile car seems to be in good, solid shape overall and is such a strange build that we’d be proud to own it. The only issue noted is that one T-Top is…

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…

Best Fuego Ever?
We’ve posted Fuegos before, including one very low mileage example, but this one is the nicest we’ve seen in a long time. So, this may be the best Fuego that will ever come up for sale; but we must wonder why the mileage is so low. Whatever mechanical failure might have taken it off the…

Rare First-Gen Prelude
This is a claimed 125K miles, one-family 1980 Honda Prelude which appears the be in great shape. When did you last see one of these? What’s the catch, you ask? This one has an automatic trans; so maximum driving fun is not in the cards. Still, this car deserves to be preserved and enjoyed! 125K…

1989 Nissan Sentra Surf-Mobile
A two-door Sentra surf-mobile? Why, yes, it is! The racks on top hold the boards and there’s a shower for rinsing off. What more do you need? If your answer is Mercedes, AMG and “Turbo” emblems, then this is the car for you! Ignore the entertaining mods and this is basic transportation, which isn’t a bad…
