Back in June of 2011 I spotted this off-road ready Mercedes Benz Gazelle replica kit car in the parking lot of the junk yard. Well, today I saw it cruising down the street and it appears to have sprouted a full off road spec roll cage since the last time I saw it.
Not a hell of a lot of information on this one, but lets go from what we can see. It looks like a 1st generation Honda Goldwing GL1000 front end, welded to a modified 70s Toyota pick up truck, powered by what looks to be a GM 2.8 FWD 60 degree V6 driver train from […]
I can’t take credit for this it was tweeted, and on the BCAS earlier today, but here is is in all its glory a Cowboy Cadillac that seems to have driven thru the J.C.Whitney warehouse attracting accessories. I’m going to start with my favorite picture because it is the wrongest of them all. Despite what […]
Spotted this beautiful old land yacht at the local self serve lot (the one with the last of the Jaws sharks). As near as I can tell it was either someone’s homemade version of the Griswold’s Wagon Queen Family Truckster, or it was made here in Hollywood for a commercial or music video, or something […]
So this is for sale down the street from me, looks kind of like what Bruce Wayne would drive after being wiped out in the stock market. No expense was spared on tape and stickers, plus 2 for sale signs! Imagine the skill it took to paint the custom red wheels and get the brake […]
Saw this on my last trip to the local Harbor Freight, same place I saw the Fake Car. Wow, it’s an EXtreme with a Hemi! But wait a minute, don’t I know you? Aren’t you just a run of the mill Ford Aerostar cargo van? Sorry, my mistake, I can clearly see from back here… […]
Spotted this one in traffic. It wasn’t easy, and it was likely illegal, but I managed to get a couple of shots. Fog lights, reflectors, hood scoop, chrome edge guards, body kit, vent-o-ports, sunroof wind deflector (though who knows if there is even a sunroof), and stickers, stickers, stickers. I suppose its like plastic surgery, […]
Most of them Aspire to nothing more than becoming an Escort, or being put out of their misery in the field of battle as a 24 Hours of Lemons racecar (Have we had a Lemons Aspire yet?). This one? It Aspires to be an MX5 Miata At least, that’s where these snazzy rattle canned alloy […]
Its nice to finally see some interesting early Japanese imports start to get some respect among car hobbyists. I did shoot this neat Toyota Starlet last year, and now 3 more. My buddy Rob used to own one of these and I know from experience they are loud, crude and worse at truck stuff then […]
Who knew Ford was considering a modern version of the Ranchero in 1995? Or would it be a new Durango (The Durango was a limited production Fairmont Futura based truck circa 1978) ? Naw, surely Ford, or anyone with half a brain would have figured out how to remove the rear quarter windows, instead of […]
