Land Crewser: The Custom Crew Cab Land Cruiser Project
Do you love FJs, but want more doors? Well, someone else did, but didn’t complete the project, so we’re left with some work done and a lot left. Are you brave enough to take this one on?

Oh Shala! The Dick Dean Shala-Vette is Ready for the World.
There are a lot of VW-based customs in the world, but this one has a bit of celebrity, as Dick Dean, who worked with and for George Barris, designed and marketed these.

1975 Oldsmobile Omega Hatchback with Camper Accessory
We knew about the Omega and Nova hatchbacks, which don’t really look like hatchbacks; but we’ve never heard of the tent accessory. Given the space available with the seats folded down, this made sense at the time and it’s just plain cool now.

Awesomely Terrible 1977 Pinto Roadster Conversion
This one is awesomely terrible and terribly awesome and truly among the Oddimotive greats! Not only is it a chopped Pinto, but the rear hatch glass was used as a trunk lid. We imagine it’s not very waterproof, but who cares when it’s this weird?

SuperHawk: 1977 Buick Skyhawk with Grand National Power
The first-generation Buick Skyhawk was a V6-powered, slightly upscale derivative of the Chevy Monza. These aren’t the worst bones from which to start, but the late-70s GM 3.8L V6 was no powerhouse. Somewhere along the line, an owner of today’s feature car swapped in a turbocharged V6 from a Buick Grand National. We support this…

General Electric: Sebring Vanguard Citicar “General Lee” Tribute
Did you admire the Dukes of Hazzard when you were a kid? Did you want a snarling, door-welded-shut Dodge Charger with 383 power? Sure, most of us who grew up in the late 70s and early 80s did, but some never got over it and many have created tributes to the General Lee. Today’s example…

Century Overload
Doh! It turns out we didn’t look closely enough on a small device and these are Oldsmobiles. The good news is almost no one can tell them apart, aside from the Olds “rally wheels” on the wagon and salon. We humbly apologize for this horrible oversight!

1975 Pinzgauer 710K
The Pinzgauer 710 was a military vehicle manufactured in the UK by Austria’s Steyr-Daimler-Puch (now Steyr Motors) from 1971 to 1985 and which was used by many a military around the world. This is also one of the best off-road vehicles ever made, although it’s not the best on-road vehicle, given four cylinder power and…

Rat Rod 1954 Studebaker 3R5 on 1979 Chevy Dually Frame
Are you nostalgic for Studebaker pickups, but they just aren’t quite long enough for you? Try this homemade oddity on for size!

Six-Door 1979 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight Armbruster Stageway Limo
Do you want a unique family hauler without too much cargo space? How about an Olds Eighty-Eight with six doors? Sure, it probably hauled families to funerals, but at least it’s not an actual hearse. As a bonus, this sale includes a 1970s child seat/death trap!
