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…

Acura Integra Convertible Pickup
Calling this a pickup is a bit of a stretch, but it does sort-of qualify. What more can we say? This is our favorite generation of Integra, primarily due to the hideous headlights on the one that followed it. That makes these bizarre mods a bit offensive. Luckily, the end result is entertaining! The seller…

Shortened Shoebox: Shortbox?
Shoebox is a term often used to refer to the 1949 through 1950 Fords – particularly the sedans. Today’s feature started life as a 1949 Sedan and is now a shortened roadster. That’s not necessarily a good thing. The seller states that this Ford was shortened, and that’s an understatement. It was not only radically…

WTT means What The Truck?!
It seems someone has decided it makes sense to combine a 1985 Dodge shortbed pickup with a 2003 Mercedes Benz ML320 frame, powertrain and drivetrain. Not surprisingly, they didn’t get far, and now the seller wants you to bail him (or her?) out of this madness. The seller does describe this pretty well, so we…

1947 Bumper Car on 2000 Kawasaki ATV
What, you ask? Yes, it’s a real bumper car restored and mounted atop an ATV. Why not? Notably, this isn’t the first “roadgoing” bumper car we’ve features, although the other was a real car made to look like a bumper car, whereas this one is a bumper car made to look like a real car.…

Here’s One for Next Year’s Independence Day Parade
What do you get when you combine a C4 Corvette with the VIN from a 1966 Ford wagon and a homemade wood body? This thing. The seller is obviously proud of this oddity and we guess he or she should be. You’ll either love this or hate it, so we don’t need to add much…

Most Dangerous Vehicle Ever:Chopped Reliant Robin with no Rollover Protection
What could be the most dangerous car ever? How about a Reliant Robin with absolutely no rollover protection? Yes, some genius chopped the top of this rollover-prone three-wheeler and added no roll bar. The seller claims this was ‘professionally chopped’, if there is such a thing, and that the windshield frame is reinforced. We’re not…

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…

WTF Custom Hot Rod with Mitsubishi Four Cylinder
Odd, homemade design plus Mitsu four cylinder and manual tranny? Sure! This supposedly has bits from an XJ6 and from whatever Mitsubishi sacrificed an engine to the cause. The top came from a Geo Metro (convertible?). Someone spent a lot of time on this and is not likely to see a return on his or…

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…
