  • Toyota “Solarup”

    Toyota “Solarup”

    This is just the type of vehicle to wake Oddimotive up from a slumber that’s been a bit too long. Here we have a Solara Convertible – the more reliable alternative to a Chrysler Sebring Convertible – which has had part of a Ford Explorer Sport Trac grafted onto its rear. We went with Solarup…

  • Minup: Ex-Red Bull Mini Pickup

    Minup: Ex-Red Bull Mini Pickup

    Let’s get this out there: The Suzuki X90 represents the Holy Grail of ex-Red Bull vehicles. With that out of the way, this Mini is a close second and, well, it’s the only other choice.

  • 1987 Toyota Corollup

    1987 Toyota Corollup

    Here we have an example of one of our favorite categories of oddimobiles – hatchbacks (usually shitboxes) converted into pickups. This is a strangely common phenomenon, with seemingly half of the world’s remaining Ford Festivas converted into pickups. Good news here is a supercharged JDM (yo!) 1.6L was swapped into this bad boy, which also…

  • 1997 Civic Camper Trailer Conversion

    1997 Civic Camper Trailer Conversion

    If you always wanted a camper, but all you have is a car with significant front-end damage, this could serve as inspiration. Apparently, however, the seller sought this out and bought thise Civic in pre-wrecked condition.

  • 1996 BMW 318ti Pickup

    We’re big fans of pickup conversions and BMW 318tis, so what’s not to love about this? Add in an M52B28 I6 swap and grabber blue paint and we’re in love!

  • Quickie: 1993 Centurion Ford Bronco Dually

    Quickie: 1993 Centurion Ford Bronco Dually

    Talk about a tease!  Here we have one of the rare Centurion four-door Bronco conversions, apparently set up as a dually.  Sadly, that’s about all we know about it… The ad does indicate that the truck has an automatic trans (no surprise) and gas engine.  To get any more info, you have to call Charlie.…

  • FREE Abandoned Vanagon Pickup Conversion Project

    FREE Abandoned Vanagon Pickup Conversion Project

    Well, it’s free if you never want to register it. Should you choose to do so in California, you’ll owe $665 in back registration fees.  Still, this looks like a parts van to us, but some ambitious individual might try to finish it as a truck… We love the ad text (below), as the seller…

  • Omna Auto Bug Box: Beetle Conversion

    Omna Auto Bug Box: Beetle Conversion

    As a follow up to our recent Vandetta post, here’s a more old school Beetle van-ish conversion.  This one has a lot of needs, but it looks like it’s all there.  This was done using a “Bug Box” kit from Omna-Auto back in the day. The seller says this needs pan repair and a starter.…
