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…

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”…
