Last Call- Two Mods, One Bucket Edition
/
The problem for some people with shopping at Costco is having to buy everything in bulk, and then finding where to but it all when they get home. Of course, for the builder of this double 4.6 ‘modular’ engined Bucket T, that probably wouldn’t be an issue. Thanks to Tomsk for the snap.

I thought about running each of these listings as a separate posting, but in all reality, that only takes up valuable bandwidth. Presenting some of the questionable Ebay Listings for this weekend….

/
Welcome to another Weekend Edition here at Hooniverse. I hope you’re enjoying your time here as I try and find items that you may have missed, or bring you some off the wall content that you may not find anywhere else. You seemed to enjoy the post about the Mitsubishi Fuso 4X4 truck, so I…

2010 Acura TL SH-AWD with Six-Speed Manual
/
The film Roxanne, written by Steve Martin and released in 1987, is a modern version of the classic play Cyrano de Bergerac which was penned exactly 90 years prior. A random fact, the original version is actually responsible for the modern usage of the word “panache”. In the more modern version, double-edged-sword Martin portrays the main character…

For those of you also suffering from a mix of severe packratism, too many projects and not enough space, you know how much of a victory this is.

Doodlebug! Squash It, It's A Doodlebug!

Well my fellow Hoons, while we were treated to the Harbinger of the Apocalypse earlier this week, I wanted to share with you something this olelongrooffan spotted at the Rods On The Hill 2010 last weekend. Now, I’m sure there are some of you out there who might believe you know what the vehicle in…

V.I.S.I.T. – So, What does a 90% Restored 1982 Imperial Look Like?
/
Around the same time I spotted a Dodge Ram Van, with a custom Cabriolet Roof Treatment, I spotted another Chrysler offspring in the form of a 1982 Chrysler Imperial. When these came out, they were quite breathtaking, in a weird Malaise sort of way. With a long front end, and a Seville like “Bustle Back”…

V.I.S.I.T: A Bizarre Lincoln Limo spotted in New York
/
Call me a little lazy, but I just discovered these images on my “Crackberry” that I took when I was at the New York International Auto Show that happened a couple of weeks ago. Yes, it’s a rolling advertisement, with a “Pirates of the Caribbean” vibe to it for the bar called Jekyll and Hyde.

Mini-Trucks: A Supporting Argument
/
In honour of yesterday’s question about mini-trucks (I know, I couldn’t get this article published in time yesterday), I think it’s only fair that I submit a little bit of research I’ve been doing on my own in the last little while. I submit, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that there is indeed a…

Hooniverse Asks- What's Your Octane?
/
Everybody likes the Rolling Stones. But when your engine starts singing Can’t You Hear Me Knocking? it may be time to switch up your grade of gas. With prices climbing a good ten to twenty cents per gallon when doing so, that can really add up to emptying your bank account while filling your tank.…

Slightly NSFW for language, and DO NOT click on the related video of the car hitting the bird. Seriously, don’t.

Attention SoCal Hoons: It's Your Duty To LeMonize This Ford
/
You’re looking at a 1975 Country Squire with a 460ci V8. In stock smog-compliant form, it likely wheezed out 180hp right before they parked it 15 years ago. Luckily, after tons of cheater parts mildly modified with some junkyard parts you the output could be upgraded substantially. Ford Wagons are great because they’re essentially a…

Hooniverse Weekend Edition: Automotive Traveler; The 1973 to 1978 GMC Motorhome

About a year ago, Rich Truesdell ran this piece on Automotive Traveler, and as a contributor to that blog, I thought I would share it with the readers of Hooniverse. So sit back and re-discover the Front Wheel Driven, Oldsmobile Powered, GMC designed Motor Home from 73 to 78. So, without further interruptions, I’ll let…
