Dumped 4-Runner Project
Like yesterday’s Cutlass lowrider, this is an incomplete project based on a terrible idea. Is it too late to save it? Let’s try to figure out just what we have here. It’s a ’92 4Runner on hydraulics, it has no engine or trans, it comes with a right-hand drive dash and steering box (not installed)…

A Cutlass That’s Not Cut-less
Yes, this Cutlass was cut. Olds never offered a convertible version of this generation of Cutlass. As a matter of fact, this entire generation of A- and G-Body never had a factory convertible. That didn’t stop someone from chopping this one as part of a lowrider project that never got off – or on? –…

Cutlass with Batmobile and Plane Influences
Apparently, this was a promotional vehicle related to one of a few high-speed, jet-powered semi trucks. What does a white, Batmobile-esque Cutlass have to do with fast trucks? We don’t know, either. Regardless, this may be the oddest Cutlass extant. This is powered by a GM 350 crate engine, which should do a lot better…

All for Naut? Nautica, that is…
Co-branded cars sometimes make sense, but it’s clear that the buying public never really “got” the Mercury Villager Nautica special edition. These were around for a few years and with a couple color schemes, all involving blue and white with a yellow stripe (of course!). We here at Oddimotive HQ really like white wheels, which…

Mid-Engine Military Volvo
We in the US didn’t see them often, but Volvo made some thoroughly impressive and interesting military vehicles over the years. This C303 platform was under many truly a go-anywhere vehicles, and today’s feature is the “TGB 1111” variant, which means it’s the (sporty?) cabriolet version. The seller provides almost no information, but we know…

Not Your Typical E30 Swap
E30 BMWs with other BMW inline sixes swapped are not altogether too uncommon, and some even receive BMW V8s. This seller, however, took a different path. Yes, that’s a Nissan/Infiniti VH45DE engine from a first generation Q45. What’s that engine doing there, you ask? The seller apparently was looking “to generate as much power to…

Custom Flatbed Loader
What do you do when you have an old Chevy 4×4 pickup, a Kubota loader, a Farmall tractor hood and some wood lying around? Make a homemade loader! Did we mention the unidentified bench seat? Regardless, this is a cool, funky Frankenstein that might actually be useful for just the right buyer. Be weird most…

Psuedo-HMMWV Custom Off-Roader
The seller claims this was built for desert warfare at a cost of over $100K; but doesn’t say by whom nor how that adds up to a $9,900 asking price today. Regardless, it’s certainly odd. This was apparently built to be seriously durable and the images back that up, what with beefy axles and suspension.…

Thoroughly Pimped W140 S320
Sometimes Tacky is the most appropriate term for a vehicle. It’s ever better when the car made tacky was the base model to begin with and when the asking price is comical at best. First off, yes, Mercedes Benz offered an inline six in the boxy W140 S-Class. You’ve probably seen one but the owner…

The Best Vinyl-Bodied Car Ever?
Yes, the Velorex is technically a car and, yes, the body is made of vinyl stretched over a frame made of steel tubing. These cool little cars were made in Czechoslovakia from the 1940s through 1960s, before production shifted to an actual four-wheeled car (one of which we have never seen for sale). These cool…
