Monster Subaru Legacy Wagon with STI Engine
Yeah, the title pretty much sums it up. The seller says this is an unfinished project, but doesn’t need too much. We’ll see. This uses a 2005 STI engine with Supra transmission, NP205 transfer case and 1985 Toyota pickup axles. The parts sound legit – can you make it all work? If so, you’ll have…

Dodge Ramcharger Macho Power Wagon
Outside of serious Mopar fans and people in Mexico, where a later generation was sold, it seems that few remember that Chrysler offered a competitor to the Bronco and Blazer back in the day. In the very rare category is the Plymouth Trailduster, which was a twin to today’s feature vehicle, the Dodge Ramcharger. This…

Lada Niva Somewhere in Russia
We love the Lada Niva here at Oddimotive! These offer hatchback looks and functionality with Jeep off-road capability and Eastern Bloc mystique. This one is offered be a zero feedback seller in Russia who provides previous little information. What could go wrong? Claimed mileage is 62K, but we imagine that’s kilometerage. The seller does claim…

WTT means What The Truck?!
It seems someone has decided it makes sense to combine a 1985 Dodge shortbed pickup with a 2003 Mercedes Benz ML320 frame, powertrain and drivetrain. Not surprisingly, they didn’t get far, and now the seller wants you to bail him (or her?) out of this madness. The seller does describe this pretty well, so we…

4WD Wagon FTW!
No, Ford never built ’em like this. This is a custom job involving a 1972 Gran Torino County Squire and something else. The seller claims this has a recently rebuilt 351 Cleveland with “special cam headers and carburetor.” The one engine shot shows no carb, so we’re not sure what to think of that. Presumably,…

Feel Truly Free by Going Commando!
The Jeep Commando represented the final run of the Jeepster Commando, itself a rebirth of the Jeepster name originally used in the late 40s/early 50s. This one appears to be remarkably original, wearing its beautiful brown paint. For the Jeepster Command and Jeep Commando, the formula was something a bit more wagon-life vs. the Jeep…

They All Look Alike to Me
A racist comment? Not at all, when applied to boxy SUVs. Apparently, others think they all look the same, as this isn’t the first time we’ve found a Japanese SUV posing as a Mercedes. Almost two years ago, we featured the Gelandejetero, a wanna-be Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen made out of a Dodge Raider, which was really…

Former Avocado Hauler Has Inline Six, Four-Wheel Drive and Manual Transmission
If you’re considering a small beater truck for hauling and some off-road duty, why not go with one based on the highly-capable XJ Cherokee and which isn’t seen every day? We suggest the relatively rare Jeep Comanche. This truck once lived on an avocado farm, which is neither here nor there, except that it seems…

Nissan Patrol Project
Here’s a rare-in-US 1969 Nissan Patrol with needs. These are hard to find in any condition. When they do come along, they’ve often been sitting outside at a farm for decades and have rust issues. So, the Long Beach location indicates this MAY be a good one. The seller says it needs a battery, but…

Munga means Mehrzweck UNiversal Geländewagen mit Allradantrieb
Which, in turn, means “multi-purpose universal cross-country car with all-wheel drive”, at least if we trust Wikipedia. This 1960 DKW Munga is super-rare in the US. Be the only one in your zip code! The seller provides almost no information, except that an extra chassis is included in the sale (?!). At a $1,200 asking…
