Worst NSX Ever?
Did you ever wonder what an NSX would look like as a full convertible (not just a targa)? Well, here’s your answer. If you are also into gangsta rap stars’ cars, this qualifies, given it belonged to Ice Cube. Presumably, this seller hopes to cash in on Straight Outta Compton hype. For the concerned purists,…

AMC Eagle Wagon with Manual
Wagon body, inline six cylinder engine, all wheel drive and a clutch pedal – does it get any better? Well, okay, there are faster and more attractive wagons that check those boxes, but they lack the retro coolness of this one. The particular example has about 130K miles, which means the ubiquitous AMC 4.2-liter I6…

BMW “Corsetta”
What’s a Corsetta, you ask? It’s nothing BMW or Iso ever designed or built, but it is a 70s project involving a 1957 Isetta and a Corvair flat six. The seller estimates current output at 150 horsepower, which is than a tenfold increase versus the original single-cylinder motorcycle engine. At the bottom, you will see…

Golf Cart in Drag
No, not that kind of drag. If you need to tow a dragster and a simple trailer or hand cart just won’t do, then this might be the vehicle for you! This is powered by an unspecified Honda engine and clutchless four-speed transmission (Hondamatic?). We think is cool, although we have no use for it.…

Triumph Spitfire / C4 Corvette Hybrid
What happens when you put C4 Corvette (the seller says “1983 Corvette”, but there’s no such thing) on a Triumph Spitfire mid-section? Probably a lot of flex, but you also get this feature car. The seller says this project is ready to be assembled, but the whopping two pictures included in the ad don’t show…

1979 Cadillac Seville Pickup Conversion with Crack Pipe Price
You want odd proportions? We got ’em! This poor ’79 Seville was subjected to “coachbuilt” pickup conversion, probably early in its life, as these sort of things happened back then. The ’76 Seville was a big deal. While youngsters might look at this and see a tank, this was a much more compact and cleanly-styled…

Recent Oddimobile Sightings – January 10, 2016
What with holidays and CES, Oddimotive (almost a one-man show) has been slow. Fear not, however, as we’re back on a schedule! Also, slow on posts doesn’t mean slow on sightings… Let’s get started… Let’s start with a lovely, almost Grabber Blue Festiva spotted at Malibu Creek State Park. Surely this fits right in driving…

Not Ogilvie Home Perm: Cutlass Salon with Manual Trans
Yes, Oldsmobile thought they’d extend their popular Cutlass into the fastback realm when they launched the fifth generation for the 1978 model year. The result was decidedly odd, although the Cutlass would go on to become the best selling car in 1979. This two-door, manual trans-equipped version was likely rare when new and is almost…

Manual 1979 Subaru Wagon in Beautiful Brown!
After our recent “Monster Legacy” post, here’s a very original, very nice 1979 Subaru wagon to make things right. The seller claims to have sold this car new while working at a local dealership in 1979 and has subsequently found the car via an estate sale. It’s now being kicked out of the house by…

Monster Subaru Legacy Wagon with STI Engine
Yeah, the title pretty much sums it up. The seller says this is an unfinished project, but doesn’t need too much. We’ll see. This uses a 2005 STI engine with Supra transmission, NP205 transfer case and 1985 Toyota pickup axles. The parts sound legit – can you make it all work? If so, you’ll have…
