eBay Find of the Day: Saleen Windstar (Seriously!)
Outrageous minivans are oddities of the train wreck variety. You don’t want to, but you just gotta look. And we’re suckers for them. Not that long ago we had the ridiculously fast, jet-powered Dodge Caravan, and then there was the show but stock slow Mugen Honda Odyssey.

eBay Find of the Day: 1952 Ariel Square Four wooden racer
We bet that most people are only faintly aware that the Ariel motorcycle brand existed at all. There was a time, though, when the British company was a pioneer in new and exciting technologies, innovating where others were content to soldier forward with tried-and-true methods. In fact, its eventual failure was due in part to [...]

eBay Find of the Day: Unusual Kawasaki-powered Sportcycle
Cars powered by motorcycle engines and motorcycles powered by car engines… dogs and cats, living together – mass hysteria! Perhaps a more suitable compromise between four- and two-wheeled machines is in order, maybe splitting the difference and going with three wheels instead. From VW-powered trikes to ZX14-engined specials, the three-wheeled platform has seen its fair [...]

1983 Mentley Insanne Turbo lives up to the name
Andy Saunders has been responsible for some off-the-wall creations – like the Aurora, the chopped-down Fiat lowrider and the Hyundai ice cream van – but this one makes us wonder if he didn’t take the car’s title to heart. Called the Mentley Insanne, the custom rod is based on a 1983 Bentley Mulsanne, a fairly [...]

eBay Find of the Day: Ford RancherSHO
Winters must be long in Southeastern Iowa. Why else would you fillet a Taurus SHO and attach a ladder frame with leaf springs to the back end? You’re all set if you share Neff’s love of the SHO, as well as a healthy affinity for the Ranchero. This car’s apparently a show winner, and it [...]
