One of the few Datsun 510s with a stock engine
…and it’s a limo! Well, at least it’s a four-speed car, too. We have to wonder how this came about, but we can only guess. As the seller correctly points out, it has an 80s paint job, so that narrows down the timeframe unless it’s had a repaint. Interior shots are almost useless, but what…

Rare in US: BMW E30 wagon!
Here at Oddimotive, we love E30 BMWs. I, your host, once had a 1988 325ic in the household fleet and thoroughly enjoyed it, although I’d prefer a coupe if I was daily driving it. Here we have a body style never offered in the US, the Touring (AKA wagon) variant. The seller says this is…

Faux-ieros: Wanna-be Italians based on Pontiacs
These days, it seems that most Fieros are wearing costumes, usually mimicking Italian exotica. Here we have two such beasts, one immitating a Lamborghini Countach and one a Ferrari F355 spyder. The Fauxrrari is obviously finished to a greater extent, but does the Lambfauxghini have the same potential? These cars are for two very different…

Dodge Mierda
Ooops, it’s technically Mirada. Either way, these are unusual rear-drive coupes that were only around for a few years in the early 80s. There was even an attempt to get back into NASCAR racing with these. Bottom line – this is a Dodge version of the Chrysler Cordoba made famous by Ricardo Montalban for its…

Celebrity factor 80s Camaro?
Celebrity association sometimes adds value to a vehicle at auction. It helps, however, if most of the public knows who the hell the celebrity is. Apparently, this was used in Ariana Grande’s latest video. In other news, there’s apparently a singer named Ariana Grande. It seems she’s a singer and actress born in 1993 (when…

Another fly in/Drive home car?
We love the 411 series Datsun Bluebird, what with its groovy Pininfarina styling and bichin, curved dash. This ’66 is likely a 1.3-liter car. We’d prefer a 1967 with the 1.6L, but none of these is going to be fast. They’re fun in a slow way. These come up fairly often in poor condition, but…

Don Yenko was a Chevrolet dealer and racer who got into the business of modifying vehicles adn selling to consumers who wanted the ultimate performance version of certain Chevy models. Yenko’s Corvairs, Camaros, Chevelles and Novas were are the stuff of legend and high auction prices. They even offered a modified Vega at one time;…

Rarest MN12: 1989 Mercury Cougar XR7 5-speed
We featured a 1988 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe recently, and many of you indicated it’s a favorite. We love those, too, but that’s not our favorite T-Bird/Cougar from the 80s and 90s. The winner is the two-year-only supercharged Cougar XR7. 210 horsepower may not sound like much today, but 315 lb-ft of torque available under 3,000…
