Sweet Brown Canadian Datsun
Who doesn’t love these tiny Datsun trucks? This vehicle put Datsun/Nissan on the map and they’re still cool today. Wisely, this was repainted from its original light blue to a delicious brown.

Humpty Dumpty Sprint Turbo
This isn’t our first Sprint Turbo and it won’t be our last. Here we have a cheap example at $750, but the owner has partially disassembled things under the hood. Will you put the poor thing back together? The seller claims all parts are there – bagged and labeled – but we always wonder why…

Quickie: Major WANT

Irvine Cars and Coffee sightings: May 11, 2013
Not sure what was up with this interestingly-bodied MG, but the color combo rules. That’s no Biturbo… It’s a Maserati Shamal, not originally imported to the US. Tasty tan Porsche. Nice to see an E34 M5 with the weird original wheel covers. They look more like whitewalls from other angles. Avantis are always welcome here.…

Porsche 924 Sebring Special with epic interior
Ah, the 924. It’s known for good handling and not a lot of power. Porschephiles detest its Audi engine and even the turbo version didn’t gain it respect. All these things make it interesting to us here at Oddimotive. Here we have an interesting special edition with an even more interesting interior. Click for Craigslist…

F10 wagon – does it get much better?
We’ve always thought the F10 was the ugliest Datsun ever made and that’s why we want one. This wagon is actually slightly less ugly vs. the hatchback, as the tail lights are more boring on this one. This was Nissan’s first front-wheel-drive car. Click for eBay ad Mancelona, MI $3,500 with one bid 05/14/2013 update:…

Quickie: Sunchaser!
Here we have a rarity – a 1980 Celica Sunchaser Convertible. These were commissioned by Toyota, but done by Griffith Company, as specified in the ad text. These are similar to the beloved (?) Lancia Beta Zagatos from the same period – part targa and part convertible. Don’t get us started on BMW Baurs and…

Scoupe this one up
Do you remember the Scoupe? This was Hyundai’s first coupe for the US market. We don’t know too much more than that. This one has the right transmission, but it may not be a turbo. We can’t tell due to the euro-style debadging it received. Surely the next owner can purchase replacement decals from one…
