Homebrew Volvo 142 convertible
Volvo never made a convertible version of the 140 series. Actually, the C70 in the late 90s might have been the first Volvo convertible in many decades. Regardless, someone decided this needed to be built. The resultant car is pretty attractive and this is a more complete homemade convertible than most-the top looks decent, there…

Rare, one-year beast: Grand Prix Turbo
These don’t come up very often, as only 2,000 were built. A good friend of Oddimotive worked on this vehicle at GM back in the day and seemed to remember it fondly, for the most part.

Mid-engine 90s van, but perhaps not supercharged.
Here we have everyone’s favorite mid-engine minivan from the 90s, the Toyota Previa. Normally, we’d ignore this 2WD, automatic, non-supercharged version, as each of the opposite traits ads interest, even if all can’t be combined.
