Makeshift Crew Cab: 1947 Diamond T Truck(s) w/Free Bullet Holes
One way to make a crew cab when it wasn’t originally offered it simply to bolt/weld on an extra cab. Here’s your chance! Not only do we like any deal that involves parts of multiple vehicles joined in a way not originally intended by the factory; but we love any vehicle ad that says “besides…

Triumph Spitfire / C4 Corvette Hybrid
What happens when you put C4 Corvette (the seller says “1983 Corvette”, but there’s no such thing) on a Triumph Spitfire mid-section? Probably a lot of flex, but you also get this feature car. The seller says this project is ready to be assembled, but the whopping two pictures included in the ad don’t show…

Monster Subaru Legacy Wagon with STI Engine
Yeah, the title pretty much sums it up. The seller says this is an unfinished project, but doesn’t need too much. We’ll see. This uses a 2005 STI engine with Supra transmission, NP205 transfer case and 1985 Toyota pickup axles. The parts sound legit – can you make it all work? If so, you’ll have…

Fox Mercury with Four-Speed and Needs
Fans of the Ford Fox body – best known for underpinning Mustangs for way too long – may recall that it was sometimes called the Fairmont/Zephyr platform. The Ford Fairmont and Mercury Zephyr were thoroughly boring and mediocre mid-sized offerings in the late 70s. They’re so generic that they have sleeper potential now. Today’s feature…

Incomplete 944 Shooting Brake Project
All the best ads involve “purchased the donor car, and started cutting.” This has the potential to be awesome when complete, but there’s a long way to go. The seller apparently started this project in April 2015. It’s not clear what the donor wagon was, but maybe a reader knows? Regardless, our condolences go out…

One and a Half Citroen Meharis
As is often the case with true Oddimobiles, this is a package deal with a rolling chassis (with title) and a donor car with the mechanical bits. If you really love Citroen Meharis – like us – this could make for a great project! The reddish one has a title and the white one has…

Cool 1940 Dodgem Bumper Car
This isn’t our first bumper car feature (or even our second), but it’s the first that isn’t already a drivable “car” of some sort. This one sounds like a bit of a project, but it’s damn cool! Dodgem was a relatively common brand of bumper cars back in the day and, apparently, is sort of like “Kleenex”…

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…

Oh, It’s Just a Cab
The International RC180, often called the “snub nose” is a cabover truck with something of a following due to its funky, retro looks. This one’s an Oddimobile because the strange pics grabbed our attention. It turns out it’s an incomplete project. It seems the seller was going to mount this on a Chevy S10 frame…

Go Electric or Go Original? Semi-Converted NSU Prinz 30
We’ve featured the NSU Prinz 30 before, so we’ve briefly explained that it was a German brand acquired by VW and rolled into Audi in the 60s. These tend to pop up as projects, and today’s feature is no exception. Our last Prinz 30, which was attached to a pallet, makes this “rescued-from-the-hedge-but-complete” example look great!…
