It is very difficult to know where to start with what you are looking at right here, but this is as good a point as any: that lead photo is only the tip of the iceberg, folks. I was looking for an Oldsmobile Starfire when I came across…well, this. Don’t just say, “Oh, a Valiant trar. Cool. Moving on…” This is by far the strangest bit of kit I’ve seen on eBay in quite some time, and that is saying something for eBay. Remember, this is the site where you can pick up a near-death Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2, a Bricklin and a 1992 Dodge truck that’s been sitting outside in doorhandle-high weeds for years for $25,000 if your heart so desires. Don’t underestimate the weird out there.

I’m guilty of using the word “chimera” a lot, but in this case, it applies. Here’s what you are looking at, broken down: the chassis of a Jeep Wagoneer, the body of a 1964 Valiant station wagon with the nose of a 1964 Barracuda up front, seats and a steering column from an Oldsmobile Cutlass, a Buick 455 V8 powering everything, four Ford Pinto taillights, and believe me, I don’t say this lightly: the ultimate jaw-dropping interior treatment. Don’t believe me? Look for yourself:

 From the listing: “The air and aah-ooga horns are operated from the lion’s heads and the acorns are the turn indicators.” Gotcha.

It’s not often that I’m left speechless after viewing eBay photos, but this Valiant did it. You can’t knock the interior…who knows how many man-hours went into the woodwork?…and the rest of the build looks solid, though the seller refers to it as a rat rod. At least they are honest about the car being a ten-footer. It’s strange and awesome at the same time. Imagine parking this at a Mopar show. Just as the purists start to freak out about the Buick mill, open up the door, and enjoy the sounds of silence as every head tries to wrap itself around what they are seeing.
