This next car comes as a tip from JB1025 offered My neck is hurting just to look @ this !

If you've got an old car with an inline-6 engine up front the easy route to making power is to replace it with an number of domestic V8s...but the easy way isn't the DT way...no sir...NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT! The DT way to do things is to take your non-crossflow inline-6 and add another engine side-by-side -- then connect the 12 cylinders with a Rube Goldberg set of pulleys/belts and burn rubber all the way to the bank.

The Ford Model A is just about unrecognizable once hot rodders get their hands on them, but that shouldn't stop you from getting your own A-bone.

There was a lot of talk this year about how America doesn't build anything anymore and that we've transitioned to a service economy. All the manufacturing jobs have moved to Asia, blah, blah ,blah, we just sit at Charbucks and use the latest app on our mobile device that we are making payments on, blah, blah, blah.

Despite what owners think, Rat Rodding isn't anything new. In 1972, Rod & Custom Magazine dedicated a whole issue to the "beater," aka the low-budget alternative to slick customized cars.

Welcome back to our annual tradition of featuring the craziest cars for sale on the web, in what we like to call Loony Labor Day. Sometimes the cars will be insane, other times the sellers, and maybe even the buyers.
