Rarely Seen First-Gen RX-7 Project
The first generation RX-7 was a fairly common sight in the 80s and early 90s, but we confess we have not seen one in a very long time except perhaps at Cars and Coffee. Today’s feature car is a project, but the price is low enough that it might make sense. The end result would…

Track or Street? Guiseppe’s Alfa GTV6 Callaway Twin Turbo
Okay, so this isn’t an original Callaway car, but the engine and turbo setup were swapped in from a real one which was wrecked. Purists may scoff, but we’re rather glad this engine lives on in another Alfa and wasn’t scrapped with the car. This is almost a plank canvas – could easily be a…

Was this your Mother’s Oldsmobile?
We’re going out on a limb and saying no, as this appears to be a 1991 model with a bit over 12K miles and no evidence of sticky fingers, Cheerios or other messy kids’ stuff. The question is why? If you want an Olds Silhouette, this is the one to get. Will anyone want one…

Delightfully Awful – Datsun F10
Here we have a car we love to hate. The Datsun F10 was Nissan’s first US-market, front-wheel-drive product, so it marked the end of an era from an enthusiast standpoint. As we have pointed out before, the hatchback F10 is one of the ugliest cars ever made, and this wagon is only a little bit…

Interesting Interior Work Plus Brown Equals Win
By most standards, this is just an old, brown F150. A quick look at the interior shots, however, shows why it’s here on Oddimotive. Some owner at some time ‘crafted’ an interesting center stack and some sort of custom electronics box. Also, this truck has a lot of brown. We like brown. This truck was…

Doored is a Verb?
We’ve certainly heard of bagged trucks and other vehicles, but we’ve never heard of “doored.” This is a horribly incomplete project based on an original plan which was questionable at best. If you’re into this sort of thing, this might be a good starting point, as it seems more has been spent than is asked,…

Rare Shelby-Dodge Collection
There’s been a lot of talk about 80s cars lately, with some of the most collectible starting to go up in value. This means Gen Xers are starting to enter the collector world to snap up the IROCs and SVOs they dreampt of back in the day. At the Auctions America Fort Lauderdale event in…

The Legendary Citation X-11
The X-11 was the performance version of the Chevy X-11, but savvy enthusiasts know that the first-year car (1980 model year) lacked engine upgrades included on later versions. This 1981 has the “high output V6”, which means 135 horsepower and 165 lb-ft of torque. In this small car, that’s pretty good torque and it was…

It’s 1990 Again!
This car is a delightfully tan 1986 Volvo 240 wagon (formerly known as a 245). Sadly, this one has an automatic trans. What we love about this ad, though, is the “flashback photo” nature with the 90-ish Accord the only other car clearly in view. Also, 7-Eleven brand identity hasn’t changed much, so it really…

Almost No Info and Almost No Car
This is listed as a project car, but that’s a bit of a stretch. The only info listed in the ad says automatic and fuel: electric. It looks to me like there’s no trans and no engine or motor. Clearly, this was a shotgun target, so it’s comical that someone thinks he or she can…
