Rat Rod 1967 VW Beetle
The brown is strong with this one. Here we have a heavily rat rodded ’67 Beetle with luggage rack, rear fender skirts and many a personal touch. This is truly an oddity and we’re definitely drawn to it! The engine is a 1641 and was rebuilt within the 4K miles, per the seller. The exterior…

Non-Fiero Lamborghini Replica
The seller claims this is an all-custom, tube-frame car with a carbon fiber cockpit tub. Presumably, the body is from a Fiero kit, but we’re not sure. What we do know is this sounds like a lot of work for something that doesn’t work; so a Fiero might have been a great idea. What we…

Custom V8 Tractor: The Non-Road “Road Warrior”
This is a fully custom tractor running a Chevy 350 and an Opel-based front suspension. The seller calls it the “Road Warrior”, but promptly points out it’s not for on-road use, as it likely can’t be registered. Hmm – to be fair, no one needed registration in the Road Warrior (as opposed to on Mad…

Cushman Trike with Honda Goldwing Power
This trike probably started like as an industrial vehicle, but now it’s a seriously overpowered golf cart. The engine is a 1.5 liter flat six from a Honda Goldwing motorcycle. Yes, that’s the car-sized cruiser bike with all the tail pipes which is very popular with Baby Boomers There isn’t too much else to say…

Big Rig Dreamin’: Kenworth Cab on Pickup Frame
Yes, almost every boy goes through a big rig infatuation, or at least those raised in the 70s did. We suspect that’s what drove this adult realization of the Kenworth dream. What we have here is a Kenworth cab on a 1978 Chevy dually pickup chassis. The engine is an Isuzu/GMC 5.9L diesel inline six.…

Custom 2009 VW Rabbit Caddy
Do you love both the recent VW Golf/Rabbit and the old school VW Caddy? Someone loved both and decided to make a tribute. Sadly, the result is much less functional vs. a hatchback or an original Caddy. The seller claims to have over $70K invested in this vehicle and we can almost believe it. Fans…

1973 Beetle Vandetta
The Beetle was used and abused in many ways and Beetle-based kits ranged from the Bradley GT sports car to off-road buggies. Somewhere in between is this “Vendetta” delivery van body kit. The seller claims this is regularly maintained at a reputable VW shop and provides a video of it driving. What more could you…

Clapped Out Renault Alliance Convertible
We’re not sure what happened here, but we’re glad this didn’t start life as the relatively desirable GTA version of this car. What we have here is a basic four cylinder, automatic Alliance painted in some sort of bass boat paint and equipped with a cheesy hood and a “racing edition” badge. Ugh. The seller…

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…

FrankenPacer! AMC Pacer 4×4
What do you get when you combine a 1976 Pacer with GM axles, an AMC V8 and International Scout transmission and transfer case? Well, this… Okay, it’s possible the V8 is original, but the rest is an interesting combination of parts and it results in a pretty amazing ride height. Hopefully, this actually offers some…
