1340 Evil Power: 1991 Geo Metro with Harley Power

I've always lamented the lack of belt-drive automobiles from major manufacturers, but the bigger crime is the lack of V-twin power.  You can get cars with miserable 3-cylinders or all manner of 4-bangers, but V-twins are only available in motorcycles...until now. Find this 1991 Geo Metro with Harley Power offered for $3,200 here on eBay buy-it-now or make-offer in Watertown, WI with 2 days to go.

Yamaha V-Twin Powered: 1923 Ford T Bucket Replica

The typical vintage T-Bucket replica goes like this; off-the-shelf tube axle front end kit, bucket of fiberglass, Ford 9-inch rear end, TH350 slushbox, Chevy 350 small bloc---whoa...who put that Chebby part in my Ford?  Thems' fightin' words. The only non Ford power I'll put in a T-Bucket is something from a long-time Ford partner...like Lincoln, Jaguar, or Yamaha.  Yeah.  A V-Twin from a chopper will do nicely. Find this 1923 Ford T Bucket Replica offered for $2250 in Oxnard, CA via craigslist. Tip from Sean S.

The Hogfather: 1978 Jeep, Harley-Davison Quadruple V-Twin Powered


There is not much overlap between the young hipster Jeep rock-crawl crowd and the aging hippie Harley-Davidson cruisers, with the exception of a shared distaste for well groomed facial hair.  The biggest overlap is on the slow lane in the highway, where they trailer their custom built vehicles to ride/drive them for a few hundred feet and call it a day.  Well, that was a great ride, who wants a Coors light?  This next feature looks to be the by-product of a Jeep builder with some extra Harley engines, or a chopper builder with a spare Jeep.  Find this 1978 Jeep with 4 Harley-Davison V-Twins here on eBay offered for $10,500 buy-it-now located in Arcade, NY.

2k: ToyoHog: 2008 Toyota Prius Harley Davidson V-Twin Power

The California vehicle code is a strange and complex beast.  There are all sorts of arcane rules related to engine swaps that require "factory" location of original catalyst that make swapping that LS1 into car XYZ a royal pain.  However, there are a few loopholes that Cali gear-heads have been known to take advantage of.  The first is that pre-1975 cars (and pre-1998 diesel cars) are totally exempt from bi-annual or title transfer emissions inspection, and the second is that electric hybrids of any year are exempt from smog testing.  This means that you are free to swap a Harley-Davidson V-twin into the front of your Toyota Prius and drive it around on the street...which is exactly what the 24 Hrs of LeMons genius/madman named Spank did.  Find this 2008 Toyota Prius ToyoHog Harley-Davidson currently bidding for $2,147 reserve-not-met with a few hours to go in Escondido, CA via ebay.
