  • 1987 Toyota Corollup

    1987 Toyota Corollup

    Here we have an example of one of our favorite categories of oddimobiles – hatchbacks (usually shitboxes) converted into pickups. This is a strangely common phenomenon, with seemingly half of the world’s remaining Ford Festivas converted into pickups. Good news here is a supercharged JDM (yo!) 1.6L was swapped into this bad boy, which also…

  • 2005 GMC / Cessna Planecar

    2005 GMC / Cessna Planecar

    Heavy duty pickup meets Cessna. Why not? This isn’t our first planecar, but it’s the biggest we’ve posted.

  • 1997 Civic Camper Trailer Conversion

    1997 Civic Camper Trailer Conversion

    If you always wanted a camper, but all you have is a car with significant front-end damage, this could serve as inspiration. Apparently, however, the seller sought this out and bought thise Civic in pre-wrecked condition.

  • 1985 Armaretta Coupe

    1985 Armaretta Coupe

    We never tire of the “neo-classical” cars of the 70s and 80s, which were so perfect in their day. After all, luxury car buyers in that time frame grew up with the cars of the 1920s and 30s before giving birth to the Baby Boomer generation. Today’s feature is one of the strangest among these…

  • Big Block Shorty: 1966 Thunderbird

    Big Block Shorty: 1966 Thunderbird

    We are endlessly fascinated with the custom “shorty” cars, and this T-Bird is really something special – love it or hate it – though some serious work remains.

  • Reader Submission: Shorty Ford Fiesta

    Reader Submission: Shorty Ford Fiesta

    Here we have what appears to be a dramatically shortened Ford Fiesta. From what we can tell, a sedan front was combined with a hatch rear, yielding homemade three-door. If not that then maybe just the front valence from a sedan was used? What YOU think??

  • “Fun Ride” Custom Buggy with Miata bits and GM V6 Power

    “Fun Ride” Custom Buggy with Miata bits and GM V6 Power

    This little beast was first built in 2000, and the owner supposedly COMPLETELY (his or her caps, not mine) rebuilt it in 2013. Per the seller, the suspension, steering, brakes, differential & axles all came from a Mazda Miata originally, but the seller reworked the suspension; so it’s not clear how much Miata is left.…

  • SpitGlass: Custom 1967 Triumph Spitfire V8

    SpitGlass: Custom 1967 Triumph Spitfire V8

    What we have here is a period hot rod made from a Triumph Spitfire, a Chevy 327, a Corvair transaxle and a lot of fiberglass (plus bondo?). The end result is, well, unique.

  • Dismantling a 1986 Corvette Yields a Unique Hot Rod

    Dismantling a 1986 Corvette Yields a Unique Hot Rod

    Here we have an interesting idea. The owner apparently had T-bucket hot rods before and noted (correctly) that they’re not really long-distance cars. We don’t know how, but he ended up with a 1986 Corvette and proceeded to remove most of the body panels, then construct a Model T-type “trunk” and add an old school…

  • May Cause Heart Attacks in Purists: 1968 Jaguar E-Type

    May Cause Heart Attacks in Purists: 1968 Jaguar E-Type

    Yes, you are looking at an E-Type, or what’s left of one. Apparently, it is owned by a shop owner/car builder whose friend rolled his E-Type 2+2. So, purists can relax a bit, as 2+2 E’s frankly aren’t that good looking AND this one was damaged. The 2+2 roots also explain the long wheelbase.
