One of several V8 Foci?
Or is this a singular Focus? It seems there are several, given the dedicated V8 Focus page at Kugel Komponents. A Mustang isn’t original enough for you, but you still want a solid rear axle? Why not spend multiple used Mustangs worth of cash on a V8 Focus and then try to ask too much when selling…

Isuzu Freakshow
The Isuzu Vehicross was an oddity from the get-go, but followed an interesting formula. The good part involved using the “big” 3.5L V6 from the Trooper into a shortened version of the platform. The odd part involved freaky styling. That styling has aged surprisingly well in that it still looks strange today, but doesn’t look…

Early CVT
We usually bitch about anything without a clutch pedal here at Oddimotive, but this is an exception. Long before Carlos Ghosn knew what a Nissan was, and even before he worked at Renault, Subaru offered its humble Justy with ECVT transaxle and AWD. Unfortunately, we doubt the 1.2 liter three cylinder provides much fun when…

Cool Little Bugger
As the seller states,”well if you are in favor of the odd here it is.” From what we can tell, a few companies made camper conversions for VW Bugs back in the day. We don’t know much about them, but anything called the Little Bugger is just cool. This doesn’t seem like something you’d want…

Rampage! No, not the video game…
We once featured a Plymouth Scamp here, but we’ve never featured its higher volume twin, the Dodge Rampage. Maybe we were just waiting for one with the exciting Prospector Package and shitty paint. In truth, it looks like it’s largely prepped for paint and the current owner has taken care of it. Good news is…

Custom 18-window Vanagon
Including the wind wings, stock Vanagons have ten windows. Someone decided investing in additional windows and strange trim for a Vanagon was a better idea than finding a real Type 2. Admittedly, I can see how multi-window T2 auction prices might drive one to do this, these days. In addition to the windows, this one…

Where have all the Monzas gone?
The Chevrolet Monza replaced the Vega for the 1975 model year and GM sold a great many of them in the second half of the 70s. Where did they all go? This one looks amazingly original from every angle and has apparently had an engine rebuild. Said engine is a 2.5L I4, so probably not…

When’d you last see one in good shape? 1988 Acura Legend Coupe
These were very nice in their day, but are rarely seen today, save for the occasional beater. This one appears to be in great shape and has a clutch pedal. By today’s standards, these don’t have a lot of power, but they made for a great package at the time. Your humble host got to…

Europa with Hoochie Mama
We here at Oddimotive certainly love the Lotus Europa. What could be better than world-class handling and light weight combined with a rev-happy engine and looks best described as “pickup-like”? What we have here is a very rough Europa that is claimed to be in running condition. Click for eBay ad Tucson, AZ $8,000 with…
