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…

Pre-Audi AWD from the US of A
Just a few days ago, we shared a delightfully brown AMC Spirit and lamented its lack of all-wheel drive. When it rains, it pours; so today’s feature is an AMC Eagle SX/4. This time, the only regret is the engine. This is a claimed 67K mile, two-owner car, although it appears that the wheels have been…

Shorty Falcon. Never Ask Why.
The seller says it’s “hard to put a price on this unique vehicle”, but never mentions the significant body mods. It appears this has been made into a two-seater, but the wheelbase is the same, as the Falcon trunk was not originally this long. They say desert people do crazy things, and it’s important to…

Off-Road Fiat 500 Derivative
This might be both the strangest and coolest Fiat 500 derivative ever! It seems Ferves stood for FERrari VEicoli Speciali and these used some Fiat 500 and some Fiat 600 parts. Sadly, this one lacks the rumored-to-be-available four-wheel drive system. If you really need to finish out your microcar collection, this seems worth the trouble, including…
