Auto Union 1000 S!
We at Oddimotive have heard of Auto Union and know that it became Audi in the 60s and, itself, was made up of a number of pre-war companies. Any Auto Union is exceptionally rare in the US – possibly for good reason, as these two-stroke cars are better suited for the Eastern Bloc. The engine…

Not Your Typical Modified Beetle
We see plenty of VW Beetles and try to post only the most unusual. Today’s feature is a 1950s Beetle with a Mazda 13B rotary engine, which also means it’s water cooled. The swap looks pretty clean and it’s no surprise that the tiny rotary fits with space to spare. How, you ask, does one…

Shorty Falcon. Never Ask Why.
The seller says it’s “hard to put a price on this unique vehicle”, but never mentions the significant body mods. It appears this has been made into a two-seater, but the wheelbase is the same, as the Falcon trunk was not originally this long. They say desert people do crazy things, and it’s important to…

Off-Road Fiat 500 Derivative
This might be both the strangest and coolest Fiat 500 derivative ever! It seems Ferves stood for FERrari VEicoli Speciali and these used some Fiat 500 and some Fiat 600 parts. Sadly, this one lacks the rumored-to-be-available four-wheel drive system. If you really need to finish out your microcar collection, this seems worth the trouble, including…

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…

Eckler’s 1969 Corvette Shooting Brake
Here we have an incomplete 1969 Corvette Sport Wagon shooting brake project. According to the seller, this is a relatively low mileage Vette. A previous owner started the project in the 70s and passed away before it was completed. The car then went into storage for 30 years or so. There were a few kits…

Triumph GT6 Was 70s Customization Victim
Just a couple weeks ago, we featured our first Triumph GT6. Actually, we featured our first two in a single ad. Little did we know one so good would come along so soon after that post. This one did not survive the 70s without some delightfully tasteless modifications. This overly customized beast sat in a…

Gorgeous Datsun PL411
It’s no secret that we love Datsuns – particularly these early, Pininfarina-styled 411s and especially in wagon form. Back in October, we featured a red Datsun 411 wagon with fairly serious needs. Today’s feature is the same model in the same color, but appears to need absolutely nothing. Which you you prefer? According to the…

Your Snipe Hunt is Over!
Anyone who camped as a kid knows about snipe hunts. Despite the fact that snipe is a type of bird, we were all later told they were fruitless exercises meant to cause the youngest and/or most annoying on any given campout to disappear in the woods for extended periods. That has been proven wrong, as…
