This is another Scott Payton submission, part of our daily email loop that includes motorhomes or box trucks, and the occasional wrecker. Of course, there is nobody we know that would look better driving this thing than our own Brian Lohnes, although we are also certain that they wide bench seat will come in handy [...]

Ebay Find: A 1963 Lyn Air PB2500. What We Would Do To Build Into BangShift’s Mobile Command Center

Posted in eBay Find June 18, 2013  by  Chad Reynolds > >  2 comments

Let’s face it, sometimes we march to the beat of a different drummer around here. After all, Brian is building a mid ’80s Caprice, I’m infatuated with old motorhomes, and we somehow fall in love with just as many weirdo vehicles as ’69 Camaros or ’32 Fords. What the hell is wrong with us? Who [...]

Posted in eBay Find June 12, 2013  by  Brian Lohnes > >  9 comments

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We know that these things are basically two V6 engines hitched together (in a common block) and that they are lazy and aren’t really all that hot rod-able. Used in firetrucks, big rigs, to run pumps, and other mundane applications, these behemoth engines made 275hp and 630 lb/ft at about 2,000 RPM [...]

This is one super clean, strong running, 1971 Duster that we would park in our driveway anytime.

Craigslist Find: One Weird Son Of A Bitch Three Wheeler Thing

Posted in eBay Find June 5, 2013  by  Brian Lohnes > >  25 comments

When the title of a Craigslist ad reads,”1984 Tri Muler one of a kind not many of these around” you know it is going to be good. We looked high and low for information regarding the “Tri Muler” corporation but found nothing. Sure, the seller says that this thing is “all factory” right down to [...]

Posted in eBay Find June 4, 2013  by  Brian Lohnes > >  0 comments

As we all know, car dealers and companies go to some creative lengths to get people into their showrooms to buy cars. From wacky ads, promotions, and deals that are literally too good to be true, dealers have earned some of their…errr… less than stellar reputations. On the other side of that coin, there are [...]

This may be the answer to the question, “What do you get the motorcycle guy who has it all?” Even THAT guy doesn’t have one of these and at $195,000, you’d seriously need it for a project or just want it more than anyone else on Earth. So why is this thing so expensive?  We [...]

With all of my soul I wish I could take credit for this amazing find of what can only be described as a 1970 Nova Snowmobile/snowcat/snow transporter/meth inspired amalgamation of metal, plastic, and rubber, but I cannot.

When Allen Frye sent us the tip that Big Oly was for sale on Ebay, I just about crapped myself. Once I realized it was the “new” version of Big Oly, my rectum calmed down but only a little. Technically it’s a 1971 Bronco, which is why it is street legal and SMOG EXEMPT in [...]

Posted in eBay Find May 30, 2013  by  Brian Lohnes > >  10 comments

You think we’re making this up, but we really aren’t. Back in the early 1980s, Vauxhall (think English Chevrolet) actually commissioned the construction of two Chevette funny cars complete with one piece fiberglass bodies and all. The cars were powered by small inline four engines and as best we can tell through scouring the interwebs, [...]

Sadly, only one photo of this in-progress 1976 GMC van exists, but that photo tells us a lot.
