    McLaren F1 Seating on a Budget with Thai Memories Thrown In

    If you’ve ever been to Southeast Asia, or perhaps India, you know what a Tuk Tuk is.  For me, this brings back honeymoon memories! These are ubiquitous taxis in certain parts of the world and riding in them is an experience unto itself.  This is your big change to join in the fun! This one’s…

  • Here’s One for Next Year’s Independence Day Parade

    Here’s One for Next Year’s Independence Day Parade

    What do you get when you combine a C4 Corvette with the VIN from a 1966 Ford wagon and a homemade wood body?  This thing. The seller is obviously proud of this oddity and we guess he or she should be.  You’ll either love this or hate it, so we don’t need to add much…

  • Factory Turbocharged, Manual Minivan

    Factory Turbocharged, Manual Minivan

    Who could have offered such a beast?  Plymouth, of course! The seller claims this is a two-owner car and has had recent mid-level service and some hidden upgrades.  If it is truly as good as described, this could be a pretty awesome family hauler!  The 2.5-liter turbocharged four put out 150HP and 180 lb-ft in…

  • Because the Reliant Robin was So Good…

    Because the Reliant Robin was So Good…

    …it was replaced by the remarkably similar Reliant Rialto!  Today’s feature is the Rialto Saloon (sedan), as opposed to the Estate (wagon) version. The seller claims to have found this in his barn and driven it weekly for some amount of time.  That being said, it’s been sitting for five years or so. $200 might…

  • Minty Brick

    Minty Brick

    We here at Oddimotive have a soft spot for the Volvo 142 – the original Brick – as your humble host once had one and will, someday, have one again.  This example is highly desireable, as it is the 142E from 1972.  That means ‘tunable’ Bosch D-Jet electronic fuel injection, the more modern shifter location…

  • One-Off (?) Porsche 928 Spyder

    One-Off (?) Porsche 928 Spyder

    Apparently, someone made a race car out of a 928 and someone else tried to make a production car based on its general design.  That’s where spyderwerks comes in, but it’s not clear how many of these might have actually been built nor exactly when this came to be. The end result of whatever happened…

  • Feel Truly Free by Going Commando!

    Feel Truly Free by Going Commando!

    The Jeep Commando represented the final run of the Jeepster Commando, itself a rebirth of the Jeepster name originally used in the late 40s/early 50s.  This one appears to be remarkably original, wearing its beautiful brown paint. For the Jeepster Command and Jeep Commando, the formula was something a bit more wagon-life vs. the Jeep…

  • Accord Wagon Manual!

    Accord Wagon Manual!

    Don’t get too excited, this rare beast isn’t exactly stock. This was a display car for an audio shop that no longer exists.  So, beyond the obvious exterior mods, it has a crazy multimedia system with ten subwoofers, claimed 3300 watts and multiple screens.  It’s also fitted with air suspension, upgraded brakes, intake and exhaust.…

  • Oh, It’s Just a Cab

    Oh, It’s Just a Cab

    The International RC180, often called the “snub nose” is a cabover truck with something of a following due to its funky, retro looks.  This one’s an Oddimobile because the strange pics grabbed our attention.  It turns out it’s an incomplete project. It seems the seller was going to mount this on a Chevy S10 frame…

  • Aircraft Tug – You’ve Always Wanted One!

    Aircraft Tug – You’ve Always Wanted One!

    Admit it, you’ve stared out the airport windows and admired the vehicles.  Here’s your opportunity to get your grubby little hands on an actual airport tug. This is powered by some sort of inline six and the seller claims it has an automatic transmission.  What else do you really need to know and how can…
