Amigoes like hell?
Here we have something we never expected to see. No, it’s not something original and rare. It’s an Isuzu Amigo with a Corvette LT-1 small block Chevy V8 installed. …did anyone ask WHY? Not too surprisingly, this is located in your humble host’s home state, which means I understand it more than most. The Amigo…

Okay, this one’s personal: 1970 Mustang Hardtop
Your humble host’s first car was a 1970 Mustang Grande, which was the luxury Mustang from 1969 through 1973. In 1970, that meant is had a landau roof (front half, oddly), some black ‘camera case’ vinyl exterior trim, the Deluxe (faux woodgrain) interior shared with from the Mach 1, extra sound deadening, a big clock…

Drop-butt Seville’s not sport enough for you, eh?
How about a custom, two-door drop-ass Caddy? We’re not sure what happened here: Was is an Eldorado with a Seville but added, or was it a Seville with the rear doors welded shut? Due to crap photos and a complete lack of information in the auction, we just don’t know, but we venture to guess…

Something for everyone – all in one vehicle
You can’t decide what you want in a toy car? A convertible, a pickup or a motorcycle? A Honda or a Datsun? How about a GM product? Here you can have all of those in one: This is a Datsun pickup cab and bed mated to a Honda bike, powered by a GM V6 and…

Mazda MX-5 Eunos in Camo
Here we have a JDM MX-5, known as a Eunos, gutted and painted camo. The owner will also throw in various parts to create a Lucra kit car, but points out that they won’t fit this car…hmm. This looks track-ish, but the seller speaks about needing to fully bolt down the cage and also about…

Sleeper from hell? 1983 Custom Cruiser Wagon with Buick GN power
We love sleepers. You humble host once owned a 1993 Sentra SE-R, which certainly qualifies, and the SVT Contour that replaced it qualifies, though the body kit may have pushed limits for some. Today’s subject car is an extreme sleeper of the homemade variety: 1983 Olds Wagon with 1986 Buick Grand National power – actually,…

Two-fer: Over the top Datsuns
These two came up on the same day, so we’ll post them as something of a theme. Car #1 is a Datsun 520 pickup modified to the point we’re not sure how much is really Datsun/Nissan. Note the domestic V8 in addition to four-wheel steering…what more can we say? Click for eBay ad Sharon, WI…

Strangest Samurai?
We like the Suzuki Samurai. It’s a serious underdog but has serious off-road capability. So…what happens when you remove a Samurai’s performance underdog nature and off-road ability at the same time? Short version: The front end was extended to fit a bored and stroked small block Chevy and it’s now a RWD-only vehicle. Hmm. If…

Anthony Weiner truck
This is too good not to share, but the buy it now price seem silly, especially given the almost total lack of useful information in the ad. I guess they got on Huffington Post and now think they’ve made it big time… http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/15/anthony-weiner-hot-dog-truck_n_3763195.html Click for eBay ad New York, NY $200 with ZERO bids, reserve…

Quickie: This Festiva is too weird to ever really go away
We featured this Festiva a while back as part of our Two homemade shitboxes story. It appears that it sold and buyer’s remorse set in quickly. This seller actually provides more information and pictures than the last one, even though the last seller was apparently the builder. Odd note: This seller bought this strange beast for his…
