There are, obviously, a number of problems here. 1)  Why would anyone choose to put SC430 wheels on any car?  That might be the ugliest OEM wheel ever. 2)  Was the fender repaired using toothpaste? 3)  Junction Produce has always been a silly name.

We at Oddimotive HQ have had the pleasure of driving the Nissan Heritage Collection 1200 Fastback and it’s nice little ride.  These are cool little cars and this one appears to be in great shape with claimed ~54K miles and obvious recent work.  It’s made the eBay rounds before with higher asking prices with no…

Here’s a very nice little Honda Z600.  These are very cool cars and were positioned as the sporty alternative to the N600 “sedan”, which still only had two doors, but a more formal roofline.  Some day… Click for eBay ad$4,150 with 14 bids and reserve not met Auburn, CA We’ve always loved the rear window…

We’ve never heard of this one from Datsun.  How about a road trip to Bahrain to pick this one up?? According to the ad, this is equivalent to an old Cedric, which we have heard of.  Left hand drive must be very rare, and the four-door hardtop concept is extremely cool, though it can’t be…

These are cool little cars with their 1.8LV6 engine.  This one might be  pretty beat – hard to tell when the ad says so little.  Actually, part of what the ad says makes no sense, and that’s part of what we love about it. “this mazda has every but window & door lock on drive…

We didn’t realize Canada got a later Sprint Turbo. Apparently, they had this second generation car until about 1992.  In the US. only the first generation cars had the 1.0L 3-cylinder turbo.  The best version of this body that we got was the Swift GTI/GT, which was pretty darn cool itself and is referenced in…

With the Eagle brand long since dead, these now qualify as oddities. Here we have the best of them all – the Talon Tsi AWD.  Okay, it’s debatable whether first or second gen is the very best, but you get the point.  These DSMs are cool and two out of the three brands that sold…

It’s not at all unusual to find oddities for sale in pairs and with parts cars.  These have potential and at least the seller claims the lot contains one running, driving car. The shelf full ‘o parts is a nice bonus. Click for Craigslist ad Ad text: Running driving 1970 Honda 6001970 Honda project with…
