  • Controversial “Flying” Car: The M400 Skycar

    For sale is one step along the continuing path to the flying car. This one is alleged to have flown, but some are quick to point out that it was tethered to a crane at the time. You’ll have to make your own decision on whether this is worth $1 million or more…

  • Amazingly 70s Custom Corvette

    This might just be the most 70s Vette ever – at least among those NOT used in Corvette Summer with Mark Hamill.

  • Is The Price Ever Right for a Mitsubishi Mirage?

    We say yes, if it’s a Mirage Turbo from almost thirty years ago (hey, look, a dedicated site!). With this new one, however, we’re not so sure. That being said, we at Oddimotive are drawn to this product’s unique position as a true sub-subcompact – essentially the most basic thing one can buy. The car in…

  • Mullet on Wheels: 1992 Chevy Astro Pickup Conversion in Teal!

    The Astro and Safari Twins represented GM’s initial entry into the minivan segment, but featured body-on-frame construction and a rear-wheel drive configuration, vs. the unibody, front-wheel drive minivans that would eventually dominate the market. While this breed may not have lived on, these did offer truck-like payload and towing capacity and thus were popular with…

  • Shorty VW Thing

    Is a VW Thing too practical for you? How about a shortened one with two doors removed? Nope, VW never produced a two-door VW Thing, but a few unique individuals have decided to chop them over the years. Today’s feature is the victim of this practice.

  • World’s First Wankel: 1965 NSU Spider

    Mazda may own the volume rotary engine production story, but NSU put them into production first. So, in a sense, Audi has rotary heritage. We’ve not heard of any plans to bring one back, however. All that said, this is a second-year NSU spider, which has a rear-engine, rear wheel drive layout and makes the…

  • Banquet Beer Buick

    According to the seller, he or she was part of a bet involving the building of a “monster car” and a six pack of Coors (the beer good enough for a Banquet, no less). The seller got the beer and the car is featured below.

  • “Cut Off” 1977 VW Surf Bus

    Here we have a 1977 VW Bus which has been chopped into something of an open truck. Clearly – and not shockingly – this is a surf-themed vehicle. The presence of a cage implies some level of structural rigidity, which is a welcome sight. The seller claims very few miles on a freshly  built 2.0…

  • Dream Wagon? 1981 AMC Eagle with Ford 302 and Five-Speed

    We don’t think it gets much cooler than this build. Sure, this wagon gave up is all-wheel drive; but it gained a lot in performance and looks.

  • Hot Rod find: Firebird-Jeep Mishmash-up

    Kudos to Hot Rod magazine for its Freak Show Friday feature!  We hope it sticks around, as this week’s find was absolutely amazing!
