Can’t say I’ve ever seen this Miata swap
Monster Miatas are, in the scheme of things, relatively common. V8 swap kits have been available almost since the Miata itself launched. This, however, is the only V12 swap I’ve heard of. This is a Jaguar V12 and the seller claims it has internal mods in addition to the downdraft carbs shown in the images.…

Why import a real Skyline GT-R?
You can always have a terrible fake GT-R like this one. The seller calls this a ‘full convertion (SIC) to Skyline R33.” I wonder what a partial ‘convertion’ would look like. $6K without the turbo installed, eh?

Quickie: Here’s an Alt Fuel way to Play Practical Jokes
Why not impersonate an officer while you’re giving your friends and coworkers parking tickets? Hopefully, some Oddimotive readers are old enough to remember these things. Do they still use them? Given this is $500, it does qualify for LeMons, but what’s the top speed? Mostly, this would be a strange neighborhood runabout for someone with…

Boss 429 + Ranchero Squire? Sure!
Here we have something beyond a ‘mild custom’. Someone decided a Ranchero Squire needed to be fully tubbed and modified to accept a Boss 429 engine. While they were at it, they added nitrous. A quick check of the interwebs shows this car has been for sale off and on for quite some time. See…

Toyota’s version of 80s Luxury
Not too long ago, we featured an inline-six-powered Nissan 810. That was Nissan’s vision of luxury at the time and was a pretty highly regarded car. Toyota also played in same sandbox with the Cressida. Similarly, it offered inline six power and rear-wheel-drive handling. Given the reference to living in “DTLA” and not using a…

Long before the Caravan added the driver’s side rear door…
There was this. Have you been looking for a kid hauler with a manual trans? This could be it. This is the 8-door version of the 60s Ford Econoline. Given the condition, I’m sure you can’t wait to throw your kids into this one. Who needs seats or the LATCH system, anyway? In truth, this…

JDM Coolness: Nissan Laurel
The Nissan Laurel was a luxury car based on the Bluebird. The two-door coupe versions had some engine upgrades available, but this four-door sedan came with a 1.8L four cylinder. The seller claims very low miles on this classic, and the condition may just support that. I’d hate to see someone buy this an modify…
