Best of Aliso Viejo Cars and Coffee
When we say “best”, we mean “most odd.” As a bonus, many shots include a two-year-old Oddimotive fan! Our first feature is a Caprice wagon with a 50s panel theme. The guy was packing up to leave, so we didn’t get details… Apparently, it still has some cargo capacity. Note detailed chrome work. The interior…

Impala-ized Buick Roadmaster Wagon
We’re big fans of the 90s Impala SS and the Roadmaster/Carpice wagons; so why not combine ’em? This was previously a wood grain car that was damaged and then repaired without it. We’re torn on that decision, as wood grain is pretty awesomely bad; but the end result here justifies the decision. The seller has…

One and a Half Citroen Meharis
As is often the case with true Oddimobiles, this is a package deal with a rolling chassis (with title) and a donor car with the mechanical bits. If you really love Citroen Meharis – like us – this could make for a great project! The reddish one has a title and the white one has…

Beetle Plus Jaguar V12 Equals…?
Many a Jaguar XJ-S has given up its V12 and received a small block Chevy engine, but we have always assumed the V12s were scrapped. Whomever built this car snapped one up and stuck it into a highly modified Beetle! Why do we say highly modified? Well, this car now has its engine at the…

Homemade Mini Bus!
We like any vehicle ad with the statement “you have the option of sticking your head out the roof while driving.” In this case, the ad relates to a mini bus estimated to be fourteen feet long and about five feet tall. Unless the man standing behind it is seven feet tall, we think the…

Quickie: E30 Pickup Conversion
Not only did someone convert an E30 3-Series into a pickup, but this seller claims to be selling to work on his or her “other one.” It shouldn’t be surprising that someone who would do this (or buy this) in the first place might have two. Is this really is/was a 325is, it’s sad that…

Trick my Truck Tiki Van
It’s always fun when reality TV vehicles show up for sale. Recently, we featured the Astroghini from the very short-lived Ultimate Car Build Off. Today’s feature is the No Worries Tiki van from Trick my Truck, which actually stuck around for five seasons. This was a rock band’s tour van and, obviously, was fixed up…

Cool Oddity or just Waste of Taxpayer Money?
Supposedly, this “Baha style” (SIC) oddity was the result of SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) grants to the tune of $1.5M (click for link to one grant). We don’t know exactly how that works, but it would seem that some sucker might call this a bargain at $16,500. On the other hand, it’s not clear…

Custom VW Beetle Pickup (NOT a TDI!)
We love homemade cars here at Oddimotive, even when the chassis is based on a production car, homemade bodies make us smile. Today’s feature is a 1967 Beetle, but it’s been built into a completely useless, highly upright pickup, somewhat reminiscent of a 1920s truck. Okay, it’s not completely useless, it’ll get you to Cars…
