What do you get when a Brit combines French quirk with American attitude? In this case, it's a Citroen 2CV that's been converted into a rat rod-styled pickup truck. We say rat rod- styled because it doesn't have the prerequisite big American mill that you'd find in a traditional rod. Of course, we've seen a Chevy V8 dropped into a 2CV before, but even though this car truck vehicle makes do with a puny 602 CC two-cylinder engine, we still love it. We might even be tempted to bid on it if the Atlantic ocean wasn't in the way...and the US dollar wasn't at the bottom of it. galleryPost('rat2cv', 6, 'Le 2CV Ratamino'); [ ebay ]

I was thinking about using this fine customized cartruck for Project Car Hell , but gave up when I realized that nothing could possibly compete with it. Yes, folks, it's a genuine Roly Fernandez-built 1988 Camaro with dual rear axles and a truck bed that will laugh at standard lumber sizes, and all for a starting bid of just $1,500! Sure, it's maybe not quite as nice as it was when it first left Roly's shop, but how hard could it be to fix up the "Long Gone?" Imagine the Super Dorifto Potential with this thing!

We've seen all manner of homemade cartrucks here, and we've even posted on the Studemino kit before. However, this is the first time we've run across a finished Studemino for sale on eBay. Don't worry, no actual Studebakers were harmed during the making of this Studemino; it's a kit car based on a last-gen El Camino. Thanks to Fodder650 for the tip!

The Murfreesboro Vanden Plaschero inspired a lot of discussion about the pros/cons of Americans hacking up fine European machinery in order to add pick-em-up truck beds. Don't forget, though, that Europe itself has a fine tradition of Caminoization stretching back for many decades. Take, for example, this pair of fine Old World cartrucks. We've got a 1982 Mercedes-Benz 500SE with pickup bed from Germany and a 1977 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow on a Dodge truck chassis from the Netherlands. Which would you drive? Make the jump and do the voting thing! Thanks to Martjin and Sasho for the tips. galleryPost('Europeanaminos', 6, 'Fine Examples of European Caminoization'); Gawker Media polls require Javascript; if you're viewing this in an RSS reader, click through to view in your Javascript-enabled web browser.

You know what's wrong with the Chevy Suburban? Aside from the fact that it hasn't resembled a real Suburban for decades, that it? Yep, the lack of a pickup bed! Fortunately, someone has finally grafted a pickup bed on an '87 Suburban, dropped a Cummins diesel under the hood, and painted the whole thing in eyeball-charring purple... and you now have the opportunity to buy it! Is it just us, or does that driveshaft look awfully vulnerable? Thanks to Carless for the tip. [eBay Motors] galleryPost('ElSuburbamimo', 6, 'El Suburbamino');

We've seen all manner of Ford and GM cars with truck beds added, but it's not so easy to find Chrysler cars that have been so equipped. In fact, the last one we saw here was the Chargepage . But now our eagle-eyed readers have spotted not one but two truck-bed-havin' Chrysler A-bodies for sale on eBay, and we need to know which one you'd rather have! First up is this '71 Dodge Dart Demon , which the seller calls a Demonino. Sure, it has no tailgate, but it does keep the Dart taillights. The other choice is this genuine factory '69 Dodge Valiant Ute , direct from Australia. Make the jump to have your say! Thanks to Yuri and LTDScott for the tips. galleryPost('ABodyPage', 6, 'Demonpage Versus Valiantpage'); Gawker Media polls require Javascript; if you're viewing this in an RSS reader, click through to view in your Javascript-enabled web browser.

If you've got an '02 Mazda Protege, is it enough to add turbocharging and nitrous? No? How about a lurid green-and-orange paint job? Sorry, but you need to have a truck bed on your turbocharged, nitrous-enhanced Protege before you've earned any bragging rights. Fortunately, such a vehicle is available right now on eBay Motors, with a Buy It Now price just under 20 grand. We figure this truckcar should be called a Protegechero rather than a Protegamino due to Mazda's long relationship with Ford, but we're willing to listen to arguments from the pro-Protegamino faction. Let's hope LeMons-winning Team Red Meat and Poontang takes the hint and adds a truck bed to their race car ASAP! [eBay Motors] galleryPost('MazdaProtegechero', 9, 'Mazda Protege Pickup');

Putting a truck bed on a Chevrolet Vega has been done many times, so spotting a Vegamino for sale is something of a ho-hum event. However, when we see a Vegamino with a Chevy 350 mounted just behind the cab (thanks to Corvair components and a "Saginol" 4-speed transmission), it gets our attention. Thanks to Junkman (owner of the Honda Coupe 9 ) for the tip! [eBay Motors] galleryPost('VegaminoNov', 8, '1971 Vegamino Found on eBay');

Always lusted after a Cyclonechero but want a vintage Ford cartruck that's a little smaller and sportier? How about this lovely 1966 Mustangchero, available on eBay with a mere $3500 reserve. Generally, you turn a car into a -camino/-chero by modifying the existing trunk and rear body areas into a truck bed, but this guy decided the wiser course was to hack off the rear of the Mustang and graft on a tube frame with an S-10 bed assembly on top. Don't worry that the S-10 is somewhat wider than a Mustang- it looks great! Thanks to bzr for the tip! [eBay]
