Chopped 924 Turbo
Usually, we here the term chopped in relation to old school hot rods or perhaps mini trucks; but today’s feature is a chopped and “overly body kitted” 1979 Porsche 924 Turbo. The seller recently spent about $2,700 on leakdown and compression tests, plus some rewiring to get this running. We suspect that may prove to…

The One and Only Satin Galaxie 500 5.9 Cummins
A modern, turbo-diesel inline six in a full-sized 60s sedan. Why not? This Galaxie was featured on BangShift.com before it was painted matte black. It features a Cummins turbo-diesel inline six with a claimed 500+ horsepower and who knows how much torque. The asking price is high, but so is the cool factor! The matte…

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…

Crack Pipe Price on a Cool 3Cyl Turbo
It’s no secret that Oddimotive loves the Chevy Sprint Turbo. When we started two years ago, these were throwbacks to CAFE regulations. Today, there is a modern equivalent, the Ford Fiesta Ecoboost, also sporting a turbocharged three-cylinder engine and which is fun to drive in a sick and twisted sort of way. This car has…

K-Car + Wagon + Turbo + Wood Grain + Brown
This is a thing of (strange) beauty. The seller says this needs cosmetic work and we agree. What he or she doesn’t mention is the fact that the engine is out of the car, though one could infer that based on the note that a rebuilt engine is included. This is at the LeMons $500…

Track or Street? Guiseppe’s Alfa GTV6 Callaway Twin Turbo
Okay, so this isn’t an original Callaway car, but the engine and turbo setup were swapped in from a real one which was wrecked. Purists may scoff, but we’re rather glad this engine lives on in another Alfa and wasn’t scrapped with the car. This is almost a plank canvas – could easily be a…

Rare Shelby-Dodge Collection
There’s been a lot of talk about 80s cars lately, with some of the most collectible starting to go up in value. This means Gen Xers are starting to enter the collector world to snap up the IROCs and SVOs they dreampt of back in the day. At the Auctions America Fort Lauderdale event in…

Dream Kei Car: Suzuki Alto
Here’s a cool little Suzuki Kei Car with AWD and a 660cc, three-cylinder, turbocharged engine! Does it get any better or more quirky that this? Well, yes, there are some retro-chic Nissan Kei Cars, but this thing just exudes late 80s/early 90s awesome, and it’s a special performance edition, to boot. Needless to say, we’ve…

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…

Turbo Rat Bug
Here we have an interesting, rat rod-inspired ’61 Beetle. If you look at some of the images, along with the all-new interior, you’ll see that the vehicle was gone through and the rusty patina is intentional. More significant here is the turbocharged 2.3L four with dyno results showing 213 HP in this tiny beast. Beetles…
