    UR Sylvia: 1978 S10 200SX Roller

    The original 200SX was a stylized coupe built on the same platform as the B210/Sunny coupe.  A family down the street had one of these when I was growing up, but these are rare finds today.  That’s probably because most people considered them ugly AND they rusted away.  Today, however, this is oddly appealing.  Among…

  • Bronx Cheer?  No, Bronx Electric Truck!

    Bronx Cheer? No, Bronx Electric Truck!

    By today’s standards, this truck looks homemade, but a closer look reveals it is simply a very early, electric van.  In this case, very early means 1906, according to the seller.  Before the internal combustion engine won, there were many electric vehicles on the market.  This one is a commercial van and the seller claims…

    Coachbuilt 1979 Ford Thunderbird Convertible

    No, Ford never made a Ford convertible between the mid-60s and the 2002 “final bird.”  Coachbuilt convertibles were very much a thing in this era, as there were no factory convertibles for several years, due to DOT regulations which were rumored, but never came about.  These beasts filled a void and, thanks to them, we…

    Crosley-Based, Homemade 1958 Pickup

    Are you tired of driving around looking like everyone else?  If so, a homebrew, Crosley-based truck might be just the ticket! This is rumored to have everything necessary to be street legal, and there is an old inspection sticker on one window; so there could be hope.  That being said, the single-cylinder lawnmower engine isn’t…

    Runs Like a Chump!

    This is why proofreading is important! “Clean Accord, h22 motor, power steering, a/c, everything works , and runs like a chump, really good suspension (tain) really good tires, vtec cracks as well, full tune up.” Aside from that, this is a high-mileage Accord Sedan with four cylinder and manual trans.  It was a good car…

  • VSP WTF EV

    VSP WTF EV

    This cool, futuristic EV appears to have been a marketing/PR tool for VSP North America, which sells portable generators.  That’s about all we know. The seller does give some basic specs and points out that this is powered by seven lead-acid batteries.   That might be less power than a Vanguard Citicar had in the…

    Eleven Suzuki X90s in One Sale!

    This seller, who seem to still have the “Baja X90 with rear seat” previously featured here on Oddimotive, is now offering now fewer than eleven X90s in one lot.  Sadly, only one stock photo is included… See ad text for details.  What can we possibly add to this?  Actually we can add that we’re a bit…

  • Lada Niva Somewhere in Russia

    Lada Niva Somewhere in Russia

    We love the Lada Niva here at Oddimotive!  These offer hatchback looks and functionality with Jeep off-road capability and Eastern Bloc mystique.  This one is offered be a zero feedback seller in Russia who provides previous little information.  What could go wrong? Claimed mileage is 62K, but we imagine that’s kilometerage.  The seller does claim…

    We’ve featured several two-fers and a few three-fers, but this is our first seven-fer.  It’s also located about one hour east of my home town AND involved brown! The buyer of this lot gets seven roadsters, including two nice, complete cars, two closer to parts car status and three in between.  A bunch of additional…
