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
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!
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!
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
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!
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…

Go Electric or Go Original? Semi-Converted NSU Prinz 30
We’ve featured the NSU Prinz 30 before, so we’ve briefly explained that it was a German brand acquired by VW and rolled into Audi in the 60s. These tend to pop up as projects, and today’s feature is no exception. Our last Prinz 30, which was attached to a pallet, makes this “rescued-from-the-hedge-but-complete” example look great!…

Pronounce it Share-Odd
With a name like Share-Odd, one pictures sophisticated, old-world charm. That doesn’t match the shitbox called the Charade, though this is a perfectly durable entry car if you can live with 47 horsepower. Daihatsu had a short, roughly five-year life in the US in the late 80s and early 90s. The Charade was joined in…

Mercury Cougar Wagon – Yes, Really!
Most people know the Mercury Cougar as a version of the Ford Mustang (1967-1973) or the Ford Thunderbird (1974-1997), although youngsters may only remember the hatchback Cougar, based on the Mondeo platform. What many forget is that the 1977 through 1979 model year Cougar offered a full lineup with two-door, four-door sedan and wagon all…

Corolla and Museum in One Sentence?
We don’t need to add much here – the seller is convinced this 1997 Corolla is in “Museum Condition.” We can’t verify that, because it’s likely no front-wheel drive Corolla has ever been in a museum. This is supposedly a “CE Classic Edition”,whatever that means. Bottom line here is this is reliable transportation with a…
