HMV Freeway!
We find the HMV Freeway to be among the most interesting microcars – so much so that we have featured two before (in 2013 and 2014). We call this a ‘second wave’ microcar. The first wave came in the late 1940s through the early 1960s and sprung up as affordable transportation in war-torn Europe. The…

Buzz On Up To Fresno For This Honey Bee
Ah yes, the legendary Datsun B210 Honey Bee. As we document in a previous post, this was a stopgap measure to move a bunch of base B210s in yellow. For some reason, it continued for more than one year. This is still one of the best of the worst of “special” edition cars. The seller…

Fulfill Your Land Yacht Fantasies!
When I look at this car, I hear 70s porn music and picture a pimp walking up to it. The seller seems to agree, based on this quote: “This is a great Huggy Bear Cruiser.” This is a claimed 42K miles original and the condition supports that claim. The seller also claims it is one…

Perfect Pulsar for LeMons or ChumpCar
Despite FWD and no real chance of winning, this rough Nissan Pulsar seems like a perfect LeMons or ChumpCar vehicle for someone not taking him or herself too seriously. At the $500 asking price, this qualifies for any beater racing series and is a manual, non-T-Top car. The seller, who didn’t take the time to…

Quickie: Baja Beetle Project
Here we have a Baja Beetle listed as a project but without many specifics. Sadly, those extra wheels are just laying there – this is not a six-wheeler (unlike the Festiva pickup we recently posted). Despite providing almost no useful information, the text in this add raises questions: 1) What the hell does “panchostein” mean??…

Low Mileage Kia Micro Van with a Catch
This Kia Micro Van is a rare site outside (South) Korea. It’s a cool oddity, but there’s one major catch – it might not be possible to certify this for road use in the US. Do you have a farm? If so, this could be the vehicle for you! The seller claims 10.8K kilometers and,…

A Corolla for Restoration?
A rusty, rough Corolla is usually just a good candidate for scrap metal and engine donation, but this one is a rare convertible, done by a company called Griffith and likely sold at the Toyota dealer at the time. Does that mean it’s worth restoring? The good news here is 67K miles, but that can…

Not Just Any Suzuki X90
Any Suzuki X90 is an Oddimobile and, arguably, a WTF car. This one ramps it up a couple notches with pink exterior paint. If an X90 just isn’t weird enough for you, how about a pink one? This seems to be a RWD version, as the seller never mentions 4WD and no transfer case shifter…

WTF Custom Hot Rod with Mitsubishi Four Cylinder
Odd, homemade design plus Mitsu four cylinder and manual tranny? Sure! This supposedly has bits from an XJ6 and from whatever Mitsubishi sacrificed an engine to the cause. The top came from a Geo Metro (convertible?). Someone spent a lot of time on this and is not likely to see a return on his or…
