A six-wheeled 2019 Ford EcoSport, originally built as a mobile advertising billboard, sold for $10,666 on the auction site Bring a Trailer. The vehicle, which shows 47,000 miles on the odometer, was previously sold for $9,350 in October 2025.
Why it matters
This sale highlights the niche market for custom-built vehicles and illustrates how unique, non-standard modifications can fluctuate in value over time. The car features a rebuilt salvage title following a 2019 accident, a detail that prospective collectors should always weigh against build quality and historical reliability.
The vehicle sold for $10,666, representing a $1,316 profit for the previous owner after one year. This custom six-wheeled model utilizes a 2.0-liter Duratec engine producing 166 hp and 149 lb-ft of torque.
The players
Kincaid Kustom Kars
A vehicle fabrication shop based in Ubly, Michigan, specializing in custom builds and chassis modifications.
Bring a Trailer
An online auction platform for unique, classic, and modified enthusiast vehicles.
The details
To achieve the six-wheel configuration, the builders at Kincaid Kustom Kars cut the chassis behind the rear doors and integrated a second subframe. The original rear axle was shifted to the rearmost position, though drive is transmitted only to the front and center wheels. The build also includes a roof-mounted wing and sits on 17-inch alloy wheels.
Timeline
The vehicle was involved in a rear-end collision in 2019.
A failed sale attempt occurred in 2023 at a price of $16,500.
The vehicle sold at a Mecum auction in October 2025 for $9,350.
The Bring a Trailer auction concluded on September 26, 2026.
The Home Front
Custom-built vehicles often sit outside standard valuation models used by insurance companies and banks. Investors in unique projects should expect high price volatility compared to factory-standard models.
If you are considering buying a vehicle with a rebuilt salvage title, ensure you have a professional mechanic inspect the integrity of the frame modifications before purchase. Check all Carfax records thoroughly to understand the full history of collisions that may have necessitated such repairs.
The takeaway
Unique modifications intended for promotional use can create challenges for long-term ownership and resale value. Always verify the status of salvage titles and structural changes with a licensed professional to ensure the vehicle remains safe for the road.
