Custom Roadster! 1971 Jaguar XJ6
Meet JAGROD, a custom roadster hand-built by the seller about nine years ago. The project started off with a 1971 Jaguar XJ6 but morphed into the cool one-of-a-kind two-seater you can see here on eBay. This one’s pretty impressive, with some good attention to detail and lots of hand-made parts, so if you’ve always wanted…

No Reserve Rat Rod: 1951 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup
I admit that when I saw my first Rat Rod, I didn’t understand it. I couldn’t grasp why someone would go to the trouble of creating a custom build without applying a shiny coat of paint. I have grown to appreciate these classics, and I admire their creators’ creativity, producing genuinely head-turning and unique vehicles.…
Flareside Rat Rod: 1963 Ford F100
Step-side trucks aren’t everyone’s taste. However, for those people looking for an ultra-short wheelbase, they can be a great option. For this generation of F100, the short wheelbase step-side (Flareside as Ford calls it) was produced at about 1/5th the rate of the Styleside, making them fairly rare. This one is a 1963 Ford F100…
427 Tunnel Ram! 1954 Chevy Rat Rod Gasser
Some cars you can hear by looking at a photo and this is one of them. One glance of this 1954 Chevy gasser immediately makes me hear the cackle of the side pipes. While gassers aren’t everyone’s taste (especially with a patina paint job), they are undoubtedly attention-grabbing. This one can be found here on…

Street Legal ’23 Ford Model T Roadster Pickup Drag Racer!
I’m guessing Henry Ford realized pretty quickly that original buyers of his Model T cars and trucks were often converting his creations into some diverse applications to fit their own specific needs. Back in the early days, quite a few of these were turned into useful specialty vehicles such as farming tractors, firefighters, and even…
Rat Rod Look: Porsche Speedster Replica
Despite looking more like a Halloween prop than a project car, the seller of this Porsche 356 Speedster replica thinks it’s a worthwhile investment for a savvy car builder. His price is low compared to what a finished one of these replicas typically sells for, so he believes there’s a profitable opportunity here for a…
Rat Rod Shorty: 1952 International Harvester School Bus
When it comes to vintage buses, it’s often the case that well-intentioned owners get to it too late. The bus, once retired, falls into private hands that simply need a lot of space and a lot of seats, which doesn’t translate well to a user who plans to restore it. On top of that, they’ve…

1967 Pontiac Based Rat Rod With 400 V8!
Rat Rods aren’t to everyone’s taste, but these are vehicles that I admire simply because the majority of the people that build them demonstrate individual and unique visions and solutions in a bid to achieve their desired look. This 1967 Rat Rod is no different, and if you are a person looking for something a bit…

It seems like every time you look in your rear view mirror there is some aggressive looking vehicle with a scowling, angry face bearing down on you.
