Boss 429 + Ranchero Squire? Sure!
Here we have something beyond a ‘mild custom’. Someone decided a Ranchero Squire needed to be fully tubbed and modified to accept a Boss 429 engine. While they were at it, they added nitrous. A quick check of the interwebs shows this car has been for sale off and on for quite some time. See…

Thinking about jumping on the Seahawk bandwagon? Here it is!
It’s often stated in the auto enthusiast world that personalization is great right up until you need to sell. Mods done to unusual personal taste limit appeal to the mass market. Also, it’s not unusual to see someone attempting to ride a car’s fame, whether from auction results (think microcars after the Bruce Weiner auction…

Why Not just Pop Down and Drive this Back?
There are a number of concerns here: Ford did not offer a convertible version of this Capri “There was a fire in the back seat, so fire fighters broke all Windows except front windshield” It’s in Tijuana There’s no evidence this ever had a top (well, aside from the steel one removed with tin snips)…

RADIO FLYER FROM HELL
The title sums this one up. Someone mated a V8 and a wagon. The offspring is interesting, to say the least. This thing is certainly interesting, though I’m guessing it’s not street-legal. Given the level of fabrication and custom work here, it’s surprising the seller doesn’t provide more information and history. I have no idea…

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…

Cut-rate Veyron?
The good news here is it’s a fake supercar that’s NOT based on a Fiero. Interstingly, though, there’s still a Pontiac connection, as this is apparently based on a late model GTO. The bad news is it’s still a fake supercar and a fake French one, at that. The seller claims this is 65% done.…

Another homemade Shogun Competitor
This one uses a Suzuki Hayabusa engine. Some might question a motorcycle engine in a car, but this thing should make at least 150HP if it’s in stock form. That’s damn near 100HP more than the lowest-rated Festiva and this one now offers RWD. Also, we wonder how much less this now weighs. In any…

Are you a Mark Hamill fan who doesn’t like Star Wars? This might be the car for you!
If you qualify for the above, you MUST be a Corvette Summer fan. While this car isn’t as over-the-top crazy as the movie car, the paint certainly reminds me of it. The seller offers shockingly little information about this car, considering it’s a full custom. I don’t know how much boost this produces, but it…

At least it’s not a Fiero: 300ZX F40 Kit Car
Here’s a kit we’ve never seen – sorta-kinda F40 looks on a Z32 Nissan 300ZX. Honestly, this is not as hideous as a lot of these kits, but we just have to ask why. It’s not a convincing Ferrari from any angle and likely from any distance. Also, this doesn’t appear to be a twin…

Can opener classic: Custom 1982 Dodge Charger Convertible
Chrylser never offered a factory Dodge Charger convertible, but some were apparently converted by Coach Conversions in Van Nuys, CA. The seller of this beast claims only three red ones were done – were there 4,000 in other colors? We doubt it… We found this on our local Craigslist, but quick research while writing this…
