Just crusing eBay and saw this car:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4554628684
Description says "My son has outgrown the car and it's carrying capacity (musician/drummer needed a van)". Also says "Converted problematic fuel injection to Carburetor". Therein lies the problem. Check out their conversion:
How in the world can you carry anything in there when you have a dryer hose routed across the cargo area providing air for your carb. Other than that, it seems to be a pretty nice car.
Oh the other hand, there is another eBay car right now that is different from any I think I've seen before. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4554611366
Front of the top is chopped, back is stock height, so it has quite a rake to it. Add the panel delivery looking side and weird front end, and you have a one of a kind:

I'm waiting for a friend of mine to ship out his 1954 Morris Minor to Hawaii then the work begins

On that second one, the owner should have just bought the Volvo P1800ES Sportwagon that he's trying to imitate. 
Well, pshaw, SOMEBODY has to pee on the campfire 'round here!

That split sunroof looks like what the Mullet Militia puts in their 80's IROC Camaros around here.
