Fly in/Drive Home: Citroen Mehari
Okay, of you’re in the US, driving home from the Netherlands might be ‘interesting’. Still, this super-cool Citroen Mehari is worth a look. We featured one of these back in 2013 and we still love them! The seller provides only a little into, but these are remarkably simple and the photos show a car in…

6-Wheel Festiva Pickup!
From time to time, we see shitboxes – often Ford Festivas – chopped and made into pickups. The front-wheel drive setup and rear suspension seem to lend themselves to this. This is the first six-wheeler Festiva we have ever seen, however. The seller points out that this is one of a kind and the ad…

Short Type 2: Project car or Objet d’Art?
Here we have a shortened VW Bus, much like that sold be Gas Monkey Garage at Scottsdale this year, but in rather worse condition. This bus has no engine, trans or title and is claimed to be rusted out. This is likely going to be an art object at this point, but would sure be…

Don’t be a Square! Buy this L6 with MT Swap!
For 1987, BMW decided to play up its high-end luxury chops by offering “L” versions of its range topping 6- and 7-Series. Thus was born the unfortunately-named L7 sedan and the L6 coupe. Don’t be a square! Find an L6, ideally one with a manual trans swap, like this one. Image credit: genius.com The L…

BMW 600 “Limo” With Needs
This is technically NOT an Isetta – this is the “limo” version, which has a conventional side door and back seat. Otherwise, it is similar to an Isetta, though it has double the cylinders and double the power. The 600 was only made for the 1958 and 1959 model years, so there are fewer of…

Overjeansed Jeep
This is something of a dual special edition CJ-5, what with Renegade and Levi’s both being present. The seller doesn’t disclose much, but does point out it has a new carb, new clutch and new radiator. It sounds like it could have been sitting and had a recent restart? If the mechanical condition comes close…

V8 Datsun 521
Yes, a 521 is a tiny pickup and, yes, this one has the power- and drivetrain from a 1990 Mustang GT. The seller has documented the build at the Ratsun forum site and the attention to detail and mechanical aptitude are strong here! One could not come close to building for the asking price if paying…

Auto Union 1000 S!
We at Oddimotive have heard of Auto Union and know that it became Audi in the 60s and, itself, was made up of a number of pre-war companies. Any Auto Union is exceptionally rare in the US – possibly for good reason, as these two-stroke cars are better suited for the Eastern Bloc. The engine…

Not Your Typical Modified Beetle
We see plenty of VW Beetles and try to post only the most unusual. Today’s feature is a 1950s Beetle with a Mazda 13B rotary engine, which also means it’s water cooled. The swap looks pretty clean and it’s no surprise that the tiny rotary fits with space to spare. How, you ask, does one…

Epic Mural Somewhere in Tucson
Yes, somewhere in or near Tucson is a mural featuring an Isuzu Vehicross and a customized 1970 Mustang! Also, this ad serves as a classic example of the shameless use of a girlfriend or daughter in ad. Presumably, no males will complain about the shameless part of this ad and I also assume all Oddimotive…
