1975 Oldsmobile Omega Hatchback with Camper Accessory
We knew about the Omega and Nova hatchbacks, which don’t really look like hatchbacks; but we’ve never heard of the tent accessory. Given the space available with the seats folded down, this made sense at the time and it’s just plain cool now.

SuperHawk: 1977 Buick Skyhawk with Grand National Power
The first-generation Buick Skyhawk was a V6-powered, slightly upscale derivative of the Chevy Monza. These aren’t the worst bones from which to start, but the late-70s GM 3.8L V6 was no powerhouse. Somewhere along the line, an owner of today’s feature car swapped in a turbocharged V6 from a Buick Grand National. We support this…

Not a GLH: Weird, Topless Omni with Makeshift Roll Cage
We see some mulletude in this car. The front looks like a typical shitbox Omni, but the back is another story. The end result of chopping the top of an Omni and welding or bolting in a cage is strange, and that’s what we love it. Keep in mind the fact that shitbox is a…

Commie Crawler: 1990 Lada Niva
Here we have arguably the best Soviet car ever made – one so good that it’s still in production. Its the Lada Niva, the ultimate off-road hatchback! As a 1990 model, this is still Soviet, too, not only Russian.

Pre-Volvo Dual Forced Induction:1989 Nissan March Super Turbo
Several years after the original March/Micra launched, it seems Nissan wanted its own race series for these little buggers; so the March Super Turbo was born. What that means is 110 HP out of 0.93 liters. This was achieved using both a turbo and a supercharger! This example was apparently imported to the US by…

FrankenPacer! AMC Pacer 4×4
What do you get when you combine a 1976 Pacer with GM axles, an AMC V8 and International Scout transmission and transfer case? Well, this… Okay, it’s possible the V8 is original, but the rest is an interesting combination of parts and it results in a pretty amazing ride height. Hopefully, this actually offers some…

Rare Callaway Turbo Scirocco
Callaway modified much more than Corvettes in the past, with their Alfa Romeo GTV fairly well-known; but they also got into a few Volkswagens over the years. Their “Stage I” Sciroccos boosted output from about 74HP to 117HP, which is a huge increase. The seller claims this car is one if a few “Stage III”…

Obscure DeTomaso Dodge Omni 024
You might be excused if you don’t remember the “sporty” 024 variant of the Dodge Omni or its Plymouth Turismo TC3 sibling. You’ll absolutely be excused if you never knew that there was a DeTomaso-badged special edition. While the DeTomaso didn’t have its own performance upgrades, this 1981 model at least has the upgraded 2.2-liter…
