The Deal: In addition to the great used finds you can score on eBay, once in a while you’ll see something that you will never, I guarantee, find in either your local music store or a Guitar Center. Here is one such item. This guy (or girl) build an amp head and cabinet using parts from a vintage Oldsmobile car.

This working guitar amp features:

• Head and cabinet built out of 1950 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 parts
• Power switch is the ignition switch. Only you can use this amp as only you have the key to turn it on! (easily the coolest feature)
• Wheels on the bottom for easy transport
• Door handles used as side handles
• Car ashtray mounted into side of cabinet
• 1950 Olds dome light mounted on side with a switch to turn it on and off as needed
• Glove box in the back of the amp opens with a push of the button, great storage for cables and pedals

All in all, a very cool piece of gear….I wonder how it sounds!

Something tells me that in 50 years, no one will be building guitar amps out of old Prius Hybrids, but at least we’ll be able to breath the air!
