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.

For $8,500, Could This 1984 Mercedes 280TE Be The Last Unicorn?
Let's check off all the wonderful attributes today's Benz possesses- a longroof roof; five speed stick; a sweet straight-six; three-row seating; and a rep for having been built for the gods. Oh, and it's sort of brown too. How much do you think all that might just be worth? Look,...

2015 VW Golf SportWagen: The Diesel Manual Wagon Is Alive In America!
For American enthusiasts, no style of car is as coveted and sought-after as the diesel wagon with a manual gearbox. Why can't we have torque, efficiency and room to carry all of our stuff for relatively cheap like the rest of the world? Luckily, we're on the eve of the...

Could This 1986 Buick Grand National Pull $15,750?
Buick dealers here once sold Opels, while today most Buicks ARE Opels. In between then and now, they sold cars like this Nice Price or Crack Pipe Grand National, and you'll need to decide if this one's selling price is equally grand. Classic Civics are apparently like Civics Classes, by...

For $6,500, This 1989 Mercedes 190e 2.6 Could Restore Your Faith
The seller of today's 190e says he's the second owner, and that no expense was spared in the car's rebirth as an AMG-looking badass. It will have to be seen if the result is with expending what he's asking to be number three. Ain't life Grand? Well, it certainly is...

Is your name Richard Petty? No? Well, that must mean that you're not the King. That doesn't mean you can't drive like the King. Well, actually you most likely can't - but today's Pontiac will at let you pretend, and that's got to be worth something. Unsurprisingly, yesterday's took home...
