Pre-OJ Bronco…with four doors
Say, who’s this new DS fella, and why shouldn’t I fill him with daylight?! First of all, cool your Q-jets. Also, stop talking like a 1930s gangster in a Ford V-8. I’m always surfing for some strange on the Los Angeles craigslist. Strange cars, mostly. What do a Volvo 262C, Chrysler Conquest, and Sterling 827 SLi…

Bomb included?
Here we have an armored car sitting on 66-inch tires with no engine. I just want to know whether the bomb included, or is just a novelty in the background. What can we add to this? Click for eBay ad Gregory, TX $2,500 with ZERO bids and rumored $5,000 BIN price 02/19/2014 update: Ended at…

“Taken apart to refit and stored in garage.” What could go wrong?
Here we have the very rare Jensen GT, which is basically a hatchback/shooting brake version of the Jensen Healey roadster. That means this is powered by the excellent Lotus twin-cam and offers greater rigidity than the roadster, but with a slight weight penalty. This is a non-running project car that appears to be complete, though…

Rare Subaru Goodness: 1988 RX Turbo
Stories about the wedge-shaped Subaru XT come up periodically, but Subaru’s interesting technology also found its way into more pedestrian sedans and hatchbacks. Our subject car is a 1988 RX Turbo, which was the performance version of the GL/Loyale. This car not only offered a turbocharged four-cylinder and all-wheel-drive, it also had a low range…

“Special” 80s Eldorado
What could be more special than a 1980s Cadillac Special Edition?! This is a 1985 Eldorado Commemorative Edition, but we don’t know what it commemorated. We do know it has a fabulous fake convertible top and a continental kit and the seller claims low miles. So, if this is your type of thing, this one…

The “Other” IROC: 1992 Dodge Daytona IROC R/T
Yes, there was a non-Camaro IROC once upon a time and it offered FWD. This car was nothing to sneeze at, however, as it offered the Chrysler Turbo III also seen in the Spirit R/T, which was the fastest sedan made in America at the time. So, this little beast offered about 225HP and similar…

The Cadillac of Hovercraft!
This is our first hovercraft. Will it be our last? This ad raises as many questions as it answers. Primarily, I wonder why a 2007 model needed an engine and also why an engine sent to a rebuilder would come back as a box of parts and missing critical items. Nonetheless, this seems like an…

Recent Oddimotive Sightings
It’s been a while since I posted any sightings, and that can only mean I’ve saved up some goodies. Sighting number one is from Irvine Cars and Coffee. I think this car has been there before, but I just can’t get enough of it. These Peugeot 205GTIs are damn cool cars and I used to…

Just another Fiat 850 Body Type
Recently, we featured a Fiat 850 Sedan, which is the most formal of the 850 bodies. In that article, we referenced, among others, the Coupe version. Low and behold, one has come along on Craigslist. This one’s a project, but the seller claims lots of recent work – essentially everything mechanical. The body appears to…

Not Cheap, but Lots of Thrills: E63 Wagon
This is an awfully new vehicle for Oddimotive, but, even at $38K, this offers a lot of fun and weirdness for the dollar. Unlike BMW, Mercedes has, at times, chosen to bring its performance wagons to the US. This best offers all the torque you’ll ever need, plus The seller claims 88K miles and the…
