If it Floats Like a DUKW and Drives Like a DUKW. It’s a DUKW.
The DUKW, known as the Duck, was a World-War II amphibious 6×6 truck. These often do tour duty, these days, so it’s not too surprising this was someone’s dream in Newport Beach, CA. The seller claims the hull was recently blasted and primed and that the engine was rebuilt, though hasn’t been started since (how…

Real Mavericks Buy Mercury Comets
The Mercury Comet was a twin to derivative of the Ford Maverick, which was Ford’s compact back in the day. This car is 27.8% more luxurious than a Maverick of the same year. The seller claims this is a 63K original mile car, and the appearance certainly supports the claim. This example features Ford’…

Fiat 128 Estate
Here’s a rarely-seen-in-US Fiat 128 three-door Estate. As the seller states, some might mistake this for a Datsun 510 from a distance. Sadly, this is a front-wheel drive car, unlike the Datsun; but the big upside – aside from pure rarity- is its unique three-door wagon body. It looks like the current owner has started…

Over The Top Custom ’72 Mustang
This is a custom 1972 Mustang done by Eddie Paul, who has a long resume of custom work for the film industry, including The Fast and the Furious and numerous other major films.

Seller: “I Don’t What This Is, But I Know What It’s Worth”
The seller here has no idea what this is, but that he or she knows it’s worth more than offers received to date. How did the seller end up with a mystery, you ask? “I bought the property the vehicle came with it in the backyard.” What do you think this is? The seller rambles,…

Gorgeous Datsun PL411
It’s no secret that we love Datsuns – particularly these early, Pininfarina-styled 411s and especially in wagon form. Back in October, we featured a red Datsun 411 wagon with fairly serious needs. Today’s feature is the same model in the same color, but appears to need absolutely nothing. Which you you prefer? According to the…

An Oddimotive-Worthy Crossover?
Why, yes, this is Oddimotive-worthy. Here we have an unusual, manual-transmission-equipped BMW X3 3.0i. Did your family recently expand to the point that you need a little more kiddo and cargo space? If so, this could be a cool daily driver. You’ll even have AWD should you need it. It’s true you can get a…

This Site Could Provide Endless Fun
Crutchfield either hosts this site or just plays along with it. Either way, it’s awesome! Click to visit Crutchfield Vintage I remember this item – was almost guilted into buying it. Luckily, $14 was still a big deal at the time. Yes, the late Leonard Nimoy was featured! May you rest in peace, good sir.

Build Your Own Tamiya Blackfoot Tribute
Why is an F150 on Oddimotive? This truck is here because these stepsides are rarely seen, especially with manual transmissions. Also, this truck represents a rare opportunity for an RC car fan to relive the 80s and build a full-scale Tamiya Blackfoot. Supposedly, this truck has 95K miles. Aside from a wacky steering wheel and…
