Quickie: Surf Rocky
Daihatsu had a short run in the US, although parent company Toyota could theoretically bring them back at any moment in order to allow hundreds of Americans to relive their Charade and Rocky pasts. Here we have a Rocky that might have been well loved. The surfboard is a cool touch on such an unusual…

Because standard Suzuki X90s aren’t weird enough…
Our dear seller has modified the rear of a Suzuki X90 in an ill-advised attempt to make it into a normal vehicle. Naturally, this custom job has yielded something even stranger than the original. Notably, this is also the only ad we’ve ever seen which contains the words “also have 3 other X90s” and in…

First AMG under Daimler ownership
AMG had more than two decades of racing and performance history before Daimler purchased a controlling interest in 1990. Since then, of course, we know them as the in-house tuning arm of Mercedes Benz. This C36 was the first model released after Daimler acquired its interest in the firm and is thus rather significant.

Volvo T5R in the right color combo
Anyone automotively aware in the 1990s must remember the yellow Volvo T5Rs with the mildly dark-tinted five-spoke wheels. Sure, it’s FWD and has an auto trans, but 0-60 in about 6.0 seconds in a Volvo box is just cool. These were also known for excellent grip. The world would have to wait for the follow-up…

From the Hooptie Files: 93 Cadillac Fleetwood
We remember when hoopties rolling on Daytons were common sights. We assume the drivers and the cars eventually tired of this abuse and that’s why they went out of style. Every now and then, however, one pops us. This is a prime example and gets bonus points for being built on the Cadillac Fleetwood, which…

Speaking of Dodge SUVs, here’s a Shelby SP360!
We’ve posted one of these before, but these Shelby SP360 Durangos are rare finds and this one is in the same town as Oddimotive HQ. The price is high, but the miles are low…good thing I have no toy car budget at this point! Short reminder: Kenne Bell Supercharged 5.9L V8 (360 CID and 360…

Another of our favorites: 1991 Suzuki Swift GT
Here we have the hot rod version of the Geo Metro. Sounds crazy, eh? Well, let’s not forget that the Metro was really a Suzuki Swift/Cultus and let’s also not forget that there was a cool turbocharged version of the prior generation Swift/Chevy Sprint. As we noted in a prior post, this car was initially…
