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…

Mitsubishi Three-Wheeled Truck
Mitsubishi made several variants of the three-wheeled truck in its early days. The seller claims this is a 1960 model, which would be near the end of the run. This could be a variant of the Mizushima, but there were other names for these. Frankly, it’s hard to find one that looks just like this, but…

WTT Means What the Truck?!
This really defines the WTF label here on Oddimotive. So, there’s a Chevy S-10 in there, which is evident in the greenhouse, but not its location vs. other typically fixed points in the vehicle structure. Note that this is NOT a six-wheeler – that is a side-mounted spare, in the style of 1920s and 30s…

Ramcharger de Mexico
To the extent Americans think about the Ramcharger, we usually think about the 1974 to 1993 version. Like its Bronco and Blazer competitors, it was based on a full-sized pickup. In the 1990s, Ford and GM continued in this market with the Expedition (four-door only) and a next-gen Blazer (quickly renamed Tahoe and then limited…

Best Video Game Car?
If you liked the Rampage video game, you’ll LOVE the vehicle. (Photo courtesy of The International Arcade Museum) As you likely already know, the Rampage was a trucklet from Dodge and had an ever cooler twin called the Plymouth Scamp. This is an L Platform vehicle, sharing parts with the Omni/Omni 024 and Charger. For that…

Cars & Coffee Sighting: Kubota Powered S-10
So what does a Kubota tractor and a late 90’s Chevrolet S-10 have in common? Nothing, other than with some determination the Kubota engine can be made to fit in the S-10. Yes, you are seeing that right. A Kubota tractor diesel engine swapped in an S-10. The owner put in a lot of work…

Big Block El Camino Killa
Most everyone in the general public is aware of – and perhaps jokes about – the Chevrolet El Camino, but many have forgotten the Ford Ranchero that actually arrived first. When I think Ranchero, I think mid-70s, so this much more svelte ’68 model is a welcome change. This example has a 390 V8. Sure,…

NASA’s Motor Home?
Sometimes, amazing things, like SEAL team boats, appear on government auction sites. Other times, we get something similarly cool, but road-going. This is a NASA motor home. The question is, what does NASA do with motor homes? Sadly, this 1989 model wasn’t around to support Apollo missions, but anyone who decides to buy can make…

Cherokee Chief
These just don’t come around often anymore, but were once a fairly common sight. They were always badass, and the big block in this one backs that up. Obviously, the exterior isn’t good aesthetically, but the seller claims there’s little bodywork to be done, so it’s mostly paint if you would choose to touch it.…
