Reader Sighting: 1.5 Festivas!
Reader Steve N. sent us this sighting. No further explanation was available, but what else do you really need to know? It seems the owner made a mini-truck out of the Festiva and then missed the cargo space? Regardless, we love it! Festivas make great autocross cars, but it’s not clear that this trailer can…

Matched Set of 1.5 PT Cruisers
Here we have a package deal made from two salvage PT Cruisers, though it’s not clear why the first, driving one was salvaged. The second one apparently had a damaged front end, and was thus cut in front of the rear doors to make a trailer. Both have matching two-tone paint jobs with excess chrome.…

1989 Chevy Van With Ferris Wheel Seating
If you had an extra van and some Ferris wheel seats, you’d do the same. The seller is wise enough not to claim it’s a good idea to ride in the rear seats at highway speeds; so don’t get any idea. What would YOU do with this oddity? Click for eBay ad Lohman, MO, USA…

Coachbuilt 1979 Ford Thunderbird Convertible
No, Ford never made a Ford convertible between the mid-60s and the 2002 “final bird.” Coachbuilt convertibles were very much a thing in this era, as there were no factory convertibles for several years, due to DOT regulations which were rumored, but never came about. These beasts filled a void and, thanks to them, we…

Impala-ized Buick Roadmaster Wagon
We’re big fans of the 90s Impala SS and the Roadmaster/Carpice wagons; so why not combine ’em? This was previously a wood grain car that was damaged and then repaired without it. We’re torn on that decision, as wood grain is pretty awesomely bad; but the end result here justifies the decision. The seller has…

Beetle Plus Jaguar V12 Equals…?
Many a Jaguar XJ-S has given up its V12 and received a small block Chevy engine, but we have always assumed the V12s were scrapped. Whomever built this car snapped one up and stuck it into a highly modified Beetle! Why do we say highly modified? Well, this car now has its engine at the…

Homemade Mini Bus!
We like any vehicle ad with the statement “you have the option of sticking your head out the roof while driving.” In this case, the ad relates to a mini bus estimated to be fourteen feet long and about five feet tall. Unless the man standing behind it is seven feet tall, we think the…

Quickie: E30 Pickup Conversion
Not only did someone convert an E30 3-Series into a pickup, but this seller claims to be selling to work on his or her “other one.” It shouldn’t be surprising that someone who would do this (or buy this) in the first place might have two. Is this really is/was a 325is, it’s sad that…

Custom VW Beetle Pickup (NOT a TDI!)
We love homemade cars here at Oddimotive, even when the chassis is based on a production car, homemade bodies make us smile. Today’s feature is a 1967 Beetle, but it’s been built into a completely useless, highly upright pickup, somewhat reminiscent of a 1920s truck. Okay, it’s not completely useless, it’ll get you to Cars…

XJ12 Made Into Early XJ8
Recently, we featured a drag-oriented, custom Jaguar XJS and realized that the Coupe lifestyle wasn’t for everyone. For your viewing enjoyment, we hereby present a Jaguar XJ12 sedan with a nice, big Chevy V8 and hood scoop – sadly without the big ass supercharger. The seller claims to have recently purchased this one, but provides…
