1977 Pinto Cruisin’ Wagon Meets Bronco 4WD System
WWe love Pinto Cruising Wagons in just about any condition or format. This is probably the most heavily modified we’ve seen, as it’s lifted and features a 1974 Bronco 4WD system and 1975 302 V8. The result is beautifully ridiculous. The seller provides a decent amount of info, but it’s not 100% clear how this was…

“Eco” Ford F-250 Running on Biodiesel
This is an interesting truck, to say the least. The seller made some mods which, in theory, help fuel economy. This is not the usual pitch from the seller of an F-250 diesel, but the bio-diesel/veggie oil crowd is, well, different (and proud of it). We’re not sure whether this truck is a nightmare or…

Sylvia Gen 1: 1977 Datsun 200SX
Okay, we’ve posted one as UR-Sylvia before. We stand by that. This is where the Sylvia started and it offers light weight and rear wheel drive with a nice, little L-series four cylinder up front. Included is a healthy dose of delightfully odd 70s Japanese styling. The seller claims this example has about 97K miles,…

“Stoopid” 1990 S10 Blazer with Supercharged SBC Swap and Too Much Yellow
This is not subtle, not understated; but we like the swap. Can it be saved? Someone put a lot of time and money into this truck and the work looks to have been well done. We wonder what it would cost to change this to more of a sleeper look in black or another dark…

1963 Econoline Mystery Machine Replica
Are you a serious Scooby fan? If so, you need this. Buy it and I’ll give you a scooby snack. Articles have been written attempting to identify the Mystery Machine’s roots, but, if I recall correctly, the cartoon van had traits from several 60s vans, all, of course, mid-engine. This 1963 Econoline is as good…

Former Lane Motor Museum Push-Me-Pull-You 1979 Honda Civic!
How do we know this came from the Lane? We’ve seen it in the basement! Also, anything this weird in Nashville probably has something to do with Lane. So, what is it? It’s two front halves of 1979 Honda Civics grafted together, resulting in two driver’s seats, side-by-side and facing opposite directions. As clearly noted…

Get to Know this Homemade Geo Metro Pickup
That’s right, folks, 1997 represented the end of a glorious run for GM’s often-confused, import-based Geo brand. Does that make this a collectible? Probably not – especially considering the continuation of the Metro as a Chevrolet product for several more years. Today’s feature, however, isn’t really about brand heritage, it’s about yet another tiny hatch…

Pre-Volvo Dual Forced Induction:1989 Nissan March Super Turbo
Several years after the original March/Micra launched, it seems Nissan wanted its own race series for these little buggers; so the March Super Turbo was born. What that means is 110 HP out of 0.93 liters. This was achieved using both a turbo and a supercharger! This example was apparently imported to the US by…

Modified 1988 Suzuki Samurai with VW TDI Power
First, this is an older TDI engine; so don’t assume VW will buy it back! With that out of the way, we think this is a great swap idea. Anyone worth his or her weight in compost knows that the often-disrespected Samurai is an amazingly capable off-roader. Adding torque via a turbo-diesel is, we think,…

Rear-Wheel Drive, Manual and T-Tops: Suzuki X90
We’ve featured a few X90s in the past because, frankly, we can’t pass them up. The X90 is perhaps the least likely vehicle to have made some level of mass production in the last twenty years (give or take). While we’d love to have one in the Oddimotive stable, we have to confess that the…
