XJ12 Made Into Early XJ8
Recently, we featured a drag-oriented, custom Jaguar XJS and realized that the Coupe lifestyle wasn’t for everyone. For your viewing enjoyment, we hereby present a Jaguar XJ12 sedan with a nice, big Chevy V8 and hood scoop – sadly without the big ass supercharger. The seller claims to have recently purchased this one, but provides…

Astroghini: The Lambo Van
It seems this van was once on a TV show – funny how quickly we all forget. Anyway, it’s an Astro minivan made to look sorta-kinda like a Lamborghini and with very few functional doors. The seller says this needs to be trailered home, but it’s not clear whether that’s just because it has no…

Pontiac Sunbird EV with Parts Car
The “Austin Arrow” is a Pontaic Sunbird Convertible converted to electric power using a bunch of car batteries in a semi-replaceable unit. This one also comes with a non-running Sunbird Turbo parts car, which, IMHO, would be the more desireable car. Perhaps you can use the EV as the parts car? The seller provides…

A Jeremy Clarkson Tribute Car?
The art in the first image is what grabbed our attention, but any Reliant Robin is a worth Oddimobile. As a bonus, this ad also contains irony. It appears that this shop recently took their two Robins to the Concours d’Lemons and the Little Car Show, so they’ve been getting out. The Clarkson graphic is…

90s Accord Convertible
Do you love the 90-93 Accord like we do? Sure, it was a front driver and only offered four cylinder engines; but, from a design perspective, this was the pinnacle for Accord. We call it the Euro Accord. So, if you love it, too, have you ever wondered what it would look like topless? Wonder…

Cool 1940 Dodgem Bumper Car
This isn’t our first bumper car feature (or even our second), but it’s the first that isn’t already a drivable “car” of some sort. This one sounds like a bit of a project, but it’s damn cool! Dodgem was a relatively common brand of bumper cars back in the day and, apparently, is sort of like “Kleenex”…

Pinto Cruising Wagon With Needs
Are you hungry for some cruising? Is a 70s van just too much to manage? The Ford Pinto Cruising Wagon could be the perfect solution… Pitched as a smaller, cheaper, more economical alternative to a funky 70s van, the Pinto Cruising wagon incorporated the solid sides and tiny quarter windows so often seen on those…

A Non-Country Squire
We must surmise that this was Ford’s “City Squire”, given its European origin and diminutive size. Of course, “Country Squire” meant big ass, faux wood clad wagon in Ford terminology. The seller claims this car runs and drives well and has had a fair amount of recent maintenance. A good sign in the ad is…

No Purring Here – This Kitty Whines
Give the size of the supercharger atop this Jag’s Chevy engine, we imagine is has a bit of belt whine. Apparently, this car was built up around ten years ago. It’s a strange build, as it’s clearly Pro-Stock in appearance, but has a finished interior and power windows. The seller makes many references to it…

Bicentennial Van, with Creepiness
I, your humble host, am just old enough to barely remember the Freedom Train visiting Tulsa, Oklahoma and bringing with it Spirit of ’76 decals and other trinkets. It was all the rage at that time, or at least it’s all I remember. From time to time a Bicentennial Edition vehicle pops up and the memories come…
