WTF S2K
Briefly, I was surprised that we’ve never featured a Honda S2000; but then I thought about it and there usually nothing odd about them. They’re just great, pure sports cars. This one, however, first had a hideous body kit installed and then was wrecked. A quick interwebs search showed what the body kit looked like…

Go Postal with two RHD Subaru Wagons
Here we have a two-for-one sale including two right-hand-drive Subaru Legacy wagons. What more can we say? Neither of these cars is in very good condition, but you might be able to piece together one good one with all the parts. Here’s a noteworthy quote from the seller related to one of the two cars:…

Back to the Future in a Ford Courier?
Here we have a Ford Courier with a partially-complete 2.3L turbo swap. For some reason, it’s also been made up to look like Biff’s truck at the end of the original Back to the Future. This could be handy if you want to start a mobile detailing service. The Ford Courier was built in Japan…

The Inspiration for the GMC Envoy XUV!
Quite some time ago, we featured a GMC Envoy XUV as proof that not all oddities are old. Interestingly, that vehicle was a second attempt at a wagonesque vehicle with a sliding roof. Today’s feature, the Studebaker Wagonaire, was the original. As with so many ads, the seller is selling for someone else and has…

Rare Doesn’t Always Mean Desirable
When is the world’s most boring car slightly less boring? According to Oddimotive, it’s when it’s the rarely-seen two-door version and has a clutch pedal. Keep in mind we said slightly less boring, not exciting. What is the most boring car, you ask? Well, that’s a no-brainer – it’s a Camry. Before the short-lived Solara,…

Mitsubishi Three-Wheeled Truck
Mitsubishi made several variants of the three-wheeled truck in its early days. The seller claims this is a 1960 model, which would be near the end of the run. This could be a variant of the Mizushima, but there were other names for these. Frankly, it’s hard to find one that looks just like this, but…

Time Capsule Aurora?
In 1995, GM decided to breath life into Oldsmobile with more than just a “not your father’s Oldsmobile” ad campaign. This time, the brand got a dramatically different mid-sized luxury car with V8 power. Thus, the Aurora was born! Despite looks, handling and an engine that were fairly highly regarded, Oldsmobile would close up shop…

Live The Country Squire Lifestyle
This is a real opportunity for just the right person. Here we have a delightful 1971 Ford Country Squire wagon with some recent work done, but with is currently not running. If you’re handy with wrenches, you should be able to get the 400 V8 running fairly easily (?) and then start thinking about cosmetics,…

VERY Green 1981 Mercedes 300SD
In case you haven’t been paying attention, converting old diesel vehicles to run on veggie oil – basically waste product from fried food – is a counterculture trend right now. I find the whole thing interesting because it appeals to gearheads who want to engineer a way around ‘the system’ as much as to those…
