Exxcellent Convertible Maxima with Suicide Doors
Have you ever looked at a mid-2000s Maxima and wondered what it would look like as a convertible with suicide doors? Wonder no more. The seller claims this is one of one, but provides no information on what company did the conversion. Supposedly, this has been reinforced with a hidden, steel tube structure. Do you…

Silvia with her Top Off: S15 Varietta Roller
Though the S13 and S14 Nissan Sylvias were popular in the US, where they were known as 240SX, the S15 verision, produced from 1999 to 2002, never made it to the US. Nissan did offer a soft-top convertible version of the S13 for a couple years, with that car converted at ASC in California. Few…

Buzz On Up To Fresno For This Honey Bee
Ah yes, the legendary Datsun B210 Honey Bee. As we document in a previous post, this was a stopgap measure to move a bunch of base B210s in yellow. For some reason, it continued for more than one year. This is still one of the best of the worst of “special” edition cars. The seller…

Perfect Pulsar for LeMons or ChumpCar
Despite FWD and no real chance of winning, this rough Nissan Pulsar seems like a perfect LeMons or ChumpCar vehicle for someone not taking him or herself too seriously. At the $500 asking price, this qualifies for any beater racing series and is a manual, non-T-Top car. The seller, who didn’t take the time to…

V8 Datsun 521
Yes, a 521 is a tiny pickup and, yes, this one has the power- and drivetrain from a 1990 Mustang GT. The seller has documented the build at the Ratsun forum site and the attention to detail and mechanical aptitude are strong here! One could not come close to building for the asking price if paying…

Epic Mural Somewhere in Tucson
Yes, somewhere in or near Tucson is a mural featuring an Isuzu Vehicross and a customized 1970 Mustang! Also, this ad serves as a classic example of the shameless use of a girlfriend or daughter in ad. Presumably, no males will complain about the shameless part of this ad and I also assume all Oddimotive…

Manual, 4WD Sentra Wagon!
Yes, this wagon has a selectable transfer case, so it has four-wheel drive, rather than all-wheel drive. At the end of the day, it’s an Oddimotive dream, either way, as it has also been turbocharged! This is an original AWD Sentra wagon, but the engine was swapped for a 1991-1994 GA16DE 1.6L and then a…

Nissan Patrol Project
Here’s a rare-in-US 1969 Nissan Patrol with needs. These are hard to find in any condition. When they do come along, they’ve often been sitting outside at a farm for decades and have rust issues. So, the Long Beach location indicates this MAY be a good one. The seller says it needs a battery, but…

1987 Nissan MEGA MAX with Video
The 1987 Nissan Mega Max appears to be a regional special edition consisting of ground effects, exhaust tips, wheels and a badge. Here’s the Southern CA dealer association video for this “special edition”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04KtjXBxHbs Aesthetically, this car is in poor condition, but the seller claims it passed smog recently; so it may be good mechanically.…

This Ain’t No Maxima!
Well, okay, it more-or-less IS a Maxima This was the end of the 190HP run, so it doesn’t even have the five horsepower advantage of the 1999 model. Still, the important thing here is that it’s a luxury version of a Maxima with a manual transmission! Yes, folks, it was once possible to get an…
