Found this sexy beast in the state fair parking lot over the weekend. The best rides aren’t on the carnival midway

Just to show you can make a rat rod out of anything… even an NSX!

A Jensen Healey has appeared! #weirdcars #weirdcarsofmastodon #cars

Spotted: A heavily-modified #Toyota #4Runner. It has a Cummins diesel engine and a highly custom gear train. I don’t really understand what all those levers do. The owner says they provide ridiculous gear ratios for rock crawling, and independently-selectable front, rear axle power, or 4WD.

Spotted in Fremont, CA: A 1998 Nissan Safari, right-hand-drive, Japanese market. These cars are common in Southeast Asia, but they were never offered in the US.

Here’s a pair of #weirdCars for you, Mastodon! It’s a Daimler-Benz Unimog and a Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer! The Unimog is an off-road capable, do-it-all farm and construction workhorse, and the Pinzgauer is an Austrian-made troop carrier, fitting 10 crew in the bed of the truck. Owners of both vehicles use them for off-road adventures and for transporting many kids and their friends (now tethered with aftermarket seat belts) to amusement parks.

Discovered the existence of the Land Drover Llama this weekend (in the corporate end of Melbourne CBD, no less.)

What an amazing vehicle, a factory cab-on-engine Land Rover lorry (that looks - accurately - like someone cut and folded a regular Series Land Rover body to make the cab.

Spotted today: A superb example of a 1970s Mazda RX-3 Coupe with a rotary engine.

Here’s a #weirdCar for you, Mastodon! It’s a 1945 MG TC, the first MG automobile to make it big in the USA. Rumor has it that Edsel Ford, Henry Ford’s son, was the first customer this side of the Atlantic.

This unit has been restored and repainted in Toyota Supra Red. With its sports car pedigree and beautiful proportions (and suicide doors!), this car looks stunning almost eight decades on.

Sounds like something the #weirdautos #weirdcars crew would be into.

So this is what $2.4M looks like!

Facel Vega F2 Facellia Cabriolet, a sporty French convertible, one of 679 units made.

#cars #weirdCars #rareCars #carsAndCoffee

This is a 1986 Ford RS200 Evolution rally car, one of only 200 homologation units made to qualify for the now-defunct Group B WRC rally. This car features a mid-mounted 4-cylinder engine with a massive turbocharger and makes more than 800 HP on race gas.

This particular car belongs to Hoonigan and was driven by the late Ken Block.

Fun fact: it is not possible to fill up this car’s gas tank by yourself. The gas cap is located under the rear clamshell, and you need two people to open that.

Here’s a Rossion Q1, a new design built atop a Noble M400 chassis. It features a mid-mounted 500+ HP twin-turbocharged Ford Duratec V6 engine, and weighs only 2,300 lb with a carbon-kevlar body.

Here’s another #WeirdCar for you, Fediverse! It’s a 1952 Ferrari 212/225 Inter Spyder Barchetta by Touring Superleggera. It’s one of the last Ferrari 212s built, and it’s the only 212 Inter ever built with a 225 engine.

This car was sold to the Ford Motor Company under Henry Ford II’s name. It was purportedly used as inspiration for the Ford Thunderbird (note the egg-crate grille).

This car was on display at the Ford Greenfield Labs in #PaloAlto #sfba, and was viewable by the public during their Cars and Coffee event.

Question: I found this under my truck. Do I need it?

#WeirdCars #Cars #weirdcarmastodon

I went on ebay the other night and I bought this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/155440136675

Gonna be the perfect head unit for my old K10. Mono output to match the single dash speaker, too.

Hopefully the electronics work. Replacing belts ought to be trivial.

Has anyone ever heard of this brand?

I just realized there must be a car community on Mastodon. I'm not super knowledgeable about #cars but I know what I like (the unusual). This is my 1993 #JDM #Toyota #Sera - it is just so much fun. It has butterfly doors making it have "supercar" styling, but it is an inexpensive and reliable Toyota (only ever sold in Japan, right-hand drive). Now 30 years old and still running great. They don't make them like this anymore! #WeirdCars #CarsOfMastodon #WeirdCarMastodon
