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…

Over The Top Custom ’72 Mustang
This is a custom 1972 Mustang done by Eddie Paul, who has a long resume of custom work for the film industry, including The Fast and the Furious and numerous other major films. This is a full 70s-style custom and looks like it was made to compete with Mark Hamil’s “Corvette Summer” monster. The question…

Build Your Own Tamiya Blackfoot Tribute
Why is an F150 on Oddimotive? This truck is here because these stepsides are rarely seen, especially with manual transmissions. Also, this truck represents a rare opportunity for an RC car fan to relive the 80s and build a full-scale Tamiya Blackfoot. Supposedly, this truck has 95K miles. Aside from a wacky steering wheel and…

Interesting Interior Work Plus Brown Equals Win
By most standards, this is just an old, brown F150. A quick look at the interior shots, however, shows why it’s here on Oddimotive. Some owner at some time ‘crafted’ an interesting center stack and some sort of custom electronics box. Also, this truck has a lot of brown. We like brown. This truck was…

Lincoln Plus Ranchero Equals Linchero?
If you’ve seen a ’59 Lincoln Continental, then you can understand how converting one into a pickup is not too far-fetched. These cars had ridiculously long trunks from the factory. This car underwent that conversion, along with some interesting, old school customization. The end result is certainly unique. The seller says this is in excellent…

Don’t Forget Me. I’m a Mustang, Too.
For the 1974 Model Year, Ford went from borderline land yacht sized Mustangs to a true compact for the fuel crisis era. Thus was born the oft-maligned Mustang II. I, your humble host, had a 1970 Mustang as my first car and I own one again. Growing up a Mustang guy (later branching off into…

Rare on These Shores: Ford Taunus
No, we didn’t misspell Taurus! There was a German-built Ford called the Taunus for a great many decades. The seller of this example confidently states “if you want an old car to work on this is your best bet.” I’m not sure about that, but it’s likely this car can be saved. There’s no paint…

Odd Couple Two-Fer
Most two-fers offer two like cars, as it’s often a collector of a particular make or model. Today’s, however, includes a 1930 Studebaker and a 1961 Ford Falcon. I’m not sure these have anything in common,except, perhaps inline six cylinder engines (?). Given the two cars, it seems unlikely that just the right enthusiast buyer…

Hot, Ranchero-Style Ute
What’s hotter than a GMC Diablo? How about a Ford Ranchero Habanero? Unlike the Diablo, this was not a factory theme. Apparently, someone decided this needed to exist and ensured you’d have no doubt, given the “themed badging throughout.” Sadly, no one told the seller than habanero peppers are orange, as opposed to red. All…

Back to the Future in a Ford Courier?
Here we have a Ford Courier with a partially-complete 2.3L turbo swap. For some reason, it’s also been made up to look like Biff’s truck at the end of the original Back to the Future. This could be handy if you want to start a mobile detailing service. The Ford Courier was built in Japan…
