CADILLAC FLEETWOOD MURDERED-OUT TRIPLE BLACK SPECIAL EDITION
Okay, so we copied the screaming seller’s headline. Anyway, we have here a 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood, which represents the Caprice-based (D-Body), rear-wheel drive, monster generation of Fleetwood. For good measure, this one has an aftermarket – probably dealer installed – puffy top (AKA carriage roof) with the cheesiest lettering we’ve seen in some time. Per…

Not All Outbacks Were Wagons
Most people conscious in the late 90s remember the Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee for those conscious in the 80s) Subaru ads for the Outback wagon. The Outback has been a big success for Subaru because it offers all the things those ads touted – ground clearance, storage space and AWD competitive with contemporary SUVs (body…

Did You Know There Was An AWD Aerostar?
Your humble host was aware of the AWD Astro/Safari, but not its competitor, the AWD Aerostar. Why is this interesting? Because this could provide cool (in an ugly way), retro, all-weather transportation, including parts hauling. The seller claims this is a 50K mile van and the condition sure looks great. This has crank windows for…

Does The World Need A Volvette 1800?
One day, someone looked at his or her 1992 Corvette and said “why not make that into a Volvo 1800 replica?” The rest is history. Strange, strange history. Underneath, this is a claimed fully functional 178K mile Corvette. The pictures really tell the rest of the story. We find it hard to believe anyone will…

Not Just Any Suzuki X90
Any Suzuki X90 is an Oddimobile and, arguably, a WTF car. This one ramps it up a couple notches with pink exterior paint. If an X90 just isn’t weird enough for you, how about a pink one? This seems to be a RWD version, as the seller never mentions 4WD and no transfer case shifter…

6-Wheel Festiva Pickup!
From time to time, we see shitboxes – often Ford Festivas – chopped and made into pickups. The front-wheel drive setup and rear suspension seem to lend themselves to this. This is the first six-wheeler Festiva we have ever seen, however. The seller points out that this is one of a kind and the ad…

Drift While Carrying Sheets of Plywood!
Here we have a super-rare, manual transmission Toyota Previa! Sadly, the manual precludes it being of the supercharged and/or all-wheel-drive variety, but a mid-engine, manual trans minivan is cool in an of itself. As the seller states: GOOD for Carrying goods, or Drifting!! Condition looks rather dodgy, so we recommend offering $500 or less. You’ll probably be…

This Ain’t No Maxima!
Well, okay, it more-or-less IS a Maxima This was the end of the 190HP run, so it doesn’t even have the five horsepower advantage of the 1999 model. Still, the important thing here is that it’s a luxury version of a Maxima with a manual transmission! Yes, folks, it was once possible to get an…

Most Exciting Camry Ad Ever!
This is likely the most exciting because it doesn’t really show the Camry. Note that the ad text may also reveal some mental instability on the part of the seller. Click for Craigslist ad Inland Empire, SoCAL $571 Ad text (yes, it was in this order): grey cloth 4cylinder strong engine runs and shifts very…

Was this your Mother’s Oldsmobile?
We’re going out on a limb and saying no, as this appears to be a 1991 model with a bit over 12K miles and no evidence of sticky fingers, Cheerios or other messy kids’ stuff. The question is why? If you want an Olds Silhouette, this is the one to get. Will anyone want one…
