I guess that not everything here is exactly a car, I guess I feel safe to share a backyard project of mine... And yes it's a snowblower welded to a mini bike, with a bicycle wheel mounted on the front. Maybe one day it could pass safety...

And you sit where ?

I think that the last couple examples have strayed a bit too far afield from the original subject: weird *CARS*.

I agree,not lawn mowers,or custom snow blower.Maybe we can stick to cars.

Then to get back on track, here is a Bond Minicar. Strange due to the engine and the front wheel turns together.

2003 Jeep Treo. Pretty interesting concept (literally). It was designed to run off a hydrogen fuel cell.

It looks like it was designed to run off about six D cells. (It also needs a Fisher-Price logo on it.) :lol:

At this point, that would be easier to refill.

This Tucker was built as a tribute, by a guy whose last name happened to be Tucker...no relation to the "other" one.

While I admire the creativity and quality of work, he totally picked the wrong starting point.

Okay, I gotta admit it: Gas Monkey's Riviera Desecrations aren't THAT bad.

In Sweden, Treo is a brand of painkillers. Maybe I need some Treos for the headache I got from looking at this.

Anyone mind if I dig up an old thread? It looks like that Jeep Treo that I mentioned scared everyone away ? JK LOL.

First, a strange yet cool lookin’ Ford Concept car. The 1963 Ford Thunderbird Italien Concept.

Which one of these mid-engine Mustang renderings do you prefer?

And, then there’s this...

I like that T Bird.The Mustangs/GT 40s,I could do without.Too weird, but nice quality work. Definitely the second blueish black one.

Oh lord that thing looks like a bug I’d kill on my windshield.Ok I’ll say it,it’s kind of cute.?But being 6,2,I think I can only look at it from the outside.

I dunno if this was already mentioned, but I found a picture of a shiny gold camaro ZL1!...5602871A-1256-45CD-BB9C-14AD3952FDA7.jpeg.a69677ae9796efb8f30b3819850cb5b2.jpeg

 

And then there’s the six-wheeled supercar called the Covini C6W.

In the world of high end exotic tuning, there are a couple of companies doing some questionable things.

Gemballa have some awesome vehicles, with amazing performance and build quality. But some look like this.

 

The Tornado. Took a Cayenne, made it really ugly.

The Avalanche. Been around since the 80s, and when I worked for the local Porsche dealer, I got to drive one that was a strange red to maroon fade colour. And check that interior.

And if anyone has the Revell model kit of the Avalanche, I am willing to trade a great many things for it!
