Random sightings Volume 2,345
There’s been no Oddimotive presence at CNC lately, but there have been some interesting sightings out and about… 1) At the condos across the street from HQ, we saw the first ever (?) Kia RondTow. 2) This van was captured from a distance, but has a high creepy factor, despite surprisingly good paint. 3) Two…

NSU Sport Prinz
Here’s a rare little beast from NSU, one of a few brands bought by Volkswagen and rolled into what we now know as Audi. The ad text below gives plenty of info which we won’t repeat, but suffice it to say this is a cool little Italian-designed sportster. This is likely to be awesomely slow,…

SOLD! Fuego Turbo
This was in the watch list long enough to end, but it worth sharing. Here we have a Fuego Turbo manual with 50K miles. This is basically the Holy Grail of Fuegos (which is saying so much!), and gives us a new idea of how high the prices can go. Keep in mind this car…

Frbidden Fruit: Volvo 480 Turbo in the US!
We recently search all the way to Europe to find one of these, as they’re true favorites. The question here is whether anyone can drive it in the US, especially CA…hmm. If it was a 1988 model, we know EPA would be okay, but 1989? Click for eBay ad SLO, CA $9,500 starting with ZERO…

Tasty Suzuki Swift GT
Along with the Chevy Sprint Turbo (also a Suzuki Swift), we love the Swift GTI and GT. They’re effectively the same car, but it seems VW wasn’t happy about the GTI name, so it only lasted about one year. Instead of the usual three cylinder or SOHC four, these featured a DOHC 1.3 liter four…

Seville Opera Coupe
Here we have another early 80s “upgrade” to a domestic luxury car. Your humble host’s grandmother had a Seville of this generation, but without the ‘mods’. This is hideous, but we’re not sure if it’s really any better or worse than stock. Click for eBay ad Alexander, NC $15,500 with ZERO bids and $20,500 BIN…

Gelandejetero
Here we have a seller with a sense of humor,or at least we hope so. Some of you may remember that the Dodge Raider was a two-door Mitsubishi Montero (Pajero to the rest of the world), but when’s the last time you saw one, or even thought of one? The seller of this beauty provides…

Quickie: Diesel Maxima w/five-speed
Here’s a strange piece of Nissan’s history – the LD28, which was closely related to the engines in all 240Z through 280ZXs, before the V6 came along. Here, we like the two-tone paint, we like the manual trans and we like talking Maximas in general. The only thing we’d prefer would be the uber-rare…

Rare Honda 1300 Coupe 9
Here’s something we’ve never seen – Honda’s first “large” car, made for only a few years and with a high price tag. This is a gray market, RHD car, which is the case with any you’ll find in the US. The ad text below sums it up nicely. Really, though, what’s not the love? Weirdness…

Two home-modified shitboxes (or is that shitboxen?)
Here we have two domestic-branded shitboxes, each originally built by a different company and each pretty heavily modified. Here at Oddimotive, shitbox is a term of endearment, as regular here know that we love both the Festiva and the Chevy Sprint Turbo. We’re still not sure about the Daihatsu Charade, but even that now has…
