Sometimes searching Facebook Marketplace is less about searching for dumb cars you want to buy and more about finding something weird to stare at. I love . I also love crazy cars. This is both and simultaneously neither. All in all, I’m stunned.

I suppose the best course of action is to break down exactly what we’re looking at here. From what I gathered reading the ad, this trike/sort of sleigh thing is a combination of roughly four or five different vehicles.

Up front there are bits of multiple Kawasaki motorcycles and a front wheel from a Harley-Davidson. In the middle is a Ford 302 V8 bolted up to the running gear of a Chevy Vega. But we’re not done yet. The rear bodywork is that of a Chevy Chevette, and the whole rig is steered with the handlebars of a Harley-Davidson.

I contacted the seller to see if I can get some answers to any of my many questions. How well does it steer with the small front contact patch and all that weight behind it? Does it do wheelies if you floor it? Can you hear anything other than wind and V8 Americana? Do the hand controls work?

So far, the seller hasn’t gotten back to me.

The cute Colorado motorcycle plate on back suggests it’s somewhat legal.

Either way, I’m here for this contraption. It makes me want to dress up as Santa and rip sick burnouts in a V8 trike sleigh while listening to Eurobeat. Even when using the most conservative estimates that 302 engine has to be making more power than every motorcycle involved in the build...combined! Why have reindeer when you have the power of Ford to make you jingle all the way?

Should you feel the need to get jolly in this open sleigh, it’s $ on Facebook Marketplace and located in Maumee, Ohio.

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...

One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...
